## Resource

Zac Gallen’s elbow inflammation has sidelined the Diamondbacks’ ace, and he’s heading to see specialist Dr. Neal ElAttrache — a name that sends shivers through baseball circles for its association with high-stakes arm surgeries. While surgery isn’t the immediate goal, the second opinion is crucial for mapping a conservative recovery path and determining when Gallen can safely start throwing again. Manager Torey Lovullo’s focus is on a cautious return timeline, even as Gallen’s rough season — marked by a high ERA and losing record — adds pressure. With Gallen out, the D-backs are scrambling internally, eyeing pitchers like Tommy Troy, Justin Martinez, and others in rehab to fill the rotation void. The race to find a reliable arm is on — and the stakes couldn’t be higher. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
