The Arizona Diamondbacks made the following roster moves. The D-backs\u2019 40-man roster is at 40.<\/p>\n
Yeah, as feared, last night\u2019s game proved to be another one of those dreaded \u201cPyrrhic victories,\u201d costing the team both Lawlar and Soroka. However, the fact we can use the latter\u2019s spot for a starting pitcher for the next few days is probably not a bad thing, given the team went through seven relievers last night. Effectively, they have a ten-man bullpen right now. Out of there this evening, the team should have rested versions of Juan Morillo, Abner, and Yilber Diaz, who was called up yesterday but didn\u2019t appear so is not yet on the chart above. So, our relievers aren\u2019t in too bad shape, providing Zac Gallen is able to get through a reasonable number of innings.<\/p>\n
He hasn\u2019t been terrible in that department, at least. While his last six appearances have resulted in an Gallen ERA of 5.79, they have all seen Zac go between five and six innings. He has been badly bitten by the long-ball bug of late. Over his first seven outings, he allowed only two home-runs over a total of 32.1 innings of work. Since then though, the eight starts have led to eleven home-runs in 43.1 innings. Over that time-frame, starting on May 7th only the Cubs Shota Imanaga (14) has given up more bombs in the majors, coming into play today. The Twins have hit an above-average number of HR, so keeping them in the park tonight will be key for Zac.<\/p>\n
Finally, looks like the team has decided on a starter for tomorrow, and in a surprising move, it looks like is not going to Brandon Pfaadt. Instead, the team will be turning to a rookie, Jose Cabrera, who has only three appearances over the Double-A level. Maybe there will be some Jose Fernandez like lighting in that bottle, but we\u2019ll talk more about him tomorrow, I would imagine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Arizona Diamondbacks made the following roster moves.
