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
Gets back in win column
Gallen (16-8) allowed four runs on six hits and three walks while striking out six over five innings to earn the win Tuesday over the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Gallen gave up at least four runs for the fourth time in his last five outings, but he was able to escape with a win this time. The Giants put two runs up in the first inning and another two in the fifth, with two coming via sacrifice fly. Gallen has faltered lately but still has a 3.60 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 205:44 K:BB through 197.2 innings over a career-high 32 starts this season. He's projected for a favorable road start versus the White Sox early next week.

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.
