Rest-of-Season Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
For the first time in his career, Gallen avoided the injury bug, logging 31 starts and 184 innings. He recorded a career best 20.3% K-BB% mark, mostly due to a personal best 6.6% walk rate. Gallen's ratios benefited from a .237 BABIP as well as a 9.1% HR/FB mark. However, even if his 2.54 ERA was achieved with a boost from Lady Luck, Gallen's 3.05 FIP, 3.32 xFIP and 3.32 SIERA are all still excellent, softening the landing when the regression monster rears its ugly head. Gallen's pitch mix didn't change, but he threw his four-seam fastball, slider and curveball a little harder, increasing effectiveness so strikeouts should tick up with continued health. Gallen isn't off the injury concern hook but coming off a healthy season merits fantasy anchor consideration. There is a stigma about drafting pitchers from second-division teams, but the Diamondbacks offense is on the upswing, so wins are on the table. Read Past Outlooks
Fans six in no-decision
Gallen allowed three runs (two earned) on nine hits and a walk over six innings in Sunday's loss to Atlanta. He struck out six and did not factor in the decision.
ANALYSIS
It wasn't Gallen's sharpest outing as he gave up a season-high nine hits but he escaped with just two earned runs against him. The 27-year-old also coughed up a homer for the first time since April 4. After a brutal outing against the Pirates, he's given up two or fewer earned runs in three straight outings, resulting in a 2.75 ERA across 78.2 frames. Gallen's next start is projected to be in Detroit.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2020
Gallen endured an injury-riddled first half, beginning with a hairline fracture in his right arm initially thought to be more serious, followed by a sprained right elbow and hamstring strain. He headed into the break with only nine starts. Gallen gathered 14 in the second half, registering a 4.37 ERA and 1.24 WHIP with 90 punch outs in 80.1 innings, but he also walked 18 and surrendered 14 homers in that span. Eight of the homers came on a slider or changeup. Together, he threw those secondary offerings only one-third of the time, so the home run surplus seems more fluky than worrisome. Gallen is still just 26-years-old, so there's plenty of time to regain near-ace status. Last season's injuries provide pause, and his availability for Opening Day is in question due to some offseason shoulder issues. Gallen isn't expected to miss much time if any, but it remains a concern coming off the 2021 injuries If helium floated Gallen out of your range the past couple of seasons, the price is right to get back in, assuming he's healthy.
