With the Diamondbacks top starter likely headed to the injured list we examine the team's options
Diamondbacks starter Zac Gallen had to be removed from his start against the New York Mets just six pitches into the game Thursday night. He suffered what was later called a right hamstring strain.this was worse than the first time around when he also came out of the game against the Mariners on April 26th for the same injury.
The starting rotation is also missing Eduardo Rodriguez, who has yet to throw a pitch this season, and Merrill Kelly, who has been on the injured list since April 23rd. Both starters are battling shoulder injuries. The Diamondbacks are three games into a stretch of 13 games in 13 days. Their next off day is June 10th. They will need to fill Gallen's spot on Tuesday June 4th at home against the Giants, and again on Sunday, June 9th on the road against the Padres. In the best case scenario, Gallen will be able to return on June 15th against the White Sox having missed just two starts.
Whether they choose to go the tradtional starter route, or go with the opener/bulk pitcher scenario, days of rest and availability are still a primary factor. Here then are the team's options as we see them.Henry was optioned to Reno April 30th after throwing four innings and giving up two runs to the Dodgers in a loss on April 29th. Ryne Nelson was recalled to retake his rotation spot on May 5th. For the year Henry has a 5.40 ERA in six starts, 28.1 innings and a 1-2 record.
