Gallen & Soroka Return for Sweep Bid | Arizona Diamondbacks News

Arizona Diamondbacks are poised for a potential sweep against the Royals as Zac Gallen and Michael Soroka return from injury, with Gallen starting and Soroka set to follow in a rare piggyback setup. To make room on the expanded roster, relievers Kade Strowd and Blake Walston (who delivered a clutch 11th-inning win last night) are sent down to Triple-A. Gallen, sidelined since July with elbow inflammation, had struggled before his injury with a 6.34 ERA — possibly linked to his physical woes. Soroka, recovering from a glute strain and subsequent arm issues, has only made 18 starts this year but posted a 2.93 ERA before his setbacks. With Soroka’s bullpen experience and Gallen’s lack of relief background, this duo could be key. The move also bumps the D-backs’ starters to six, including recent returnee Corbin Burnes, while Walston remains eligible for postseason play.
