The Arizona Diamondbacks made a strategic move to clear a spot on their roster, re-signing right-hander Zac Gallen with a one-year, $22.025 million contract. This decision came after placing fellow right-hander Corbin Burnes on the 60-day injured list, as Burnes recovers from Tommy John surgery. Burnes, who signed a six-year, $210 million deal before last season, is aiming for a return around the All-Star break, having a 3-2 record and a 2.66 ERA in 11 starts before his injury on June 1. Gallen, on the other hand, is looking to bounce back from a disappointing 2025 season, where he finished with a 13-15 record and a 4.83 ERA. Despite his struggles, Gallen showed improvement after the All-Star break, posting a 3.97 ERA in his final 13 starts. With Gallen's return, the Diamondbacks aim to strengthen their pitching rotation and potentially improve their chances of a successful season.
