The Arizona Diamondbacks suffered one of many extra unlucky two-game stretches of attrition in current seasons of their Mexico Metropolis cut up with the San Diego Padres.
Within the span of two video games, the D-backs misplaced right-hander Zac Gallen (left shoulder contusion on account of being struck by a comebacker), shortstop Geraldo Perdomo (left ankle sprain on a misplayed double play ball) and Adrian Del Castillo (left ring finger dislocation after a foul tip) to damage.
Two key bats and Arizona’s rotation chief have been all of the sudden thrust into uncertainty. However in accordance with current stories (and one lineup look), all three of those gamers seem like trending in the precise route.
Here is the most recent on these three gamers:

Perdomo started his 2026 season on a particularly quiet notice, however had since put collectively a scorching streak, hitting safely in seven straight video games previous to Saturday. His .148/.284/.241 slash as of April 13 has since risen to .250/.350/.393, helped alongside by three triples and a double, with two three-knock video games within the course of.
Diamondbacks’ Zac Gallen might not miss a begin
Gallen’s damage was designated for granted shoulder contusion previous to his elimination from his begin in Mexico Metropolis. That phrase alone provided a slight tinge of optimism, as a contusion is, primarily, thought of a bruise.
However even a bruise may cause points if swelling persists or tightness is felt within the throwing shoulder/arm.
Gallen instructed Gilbert on Tuesday that he got here in to the ballpark on the off day Monday to play catch, and intends to throw a bullpen on Wednesday earlier than figuring out if he could make his subsequent begin. It seems fairly seemingly as of now — barring a setback or replace — that he’ll really feel ok to not miss any time.
Gallen has thrown to a 3.14 ERA this season, regardless of some underlying metrics telling a special story. He had appeared extraordinarily sharp in his final begin, with three strikeouts over three scoreless innings earlier than the unlucky comebacker incident.

Del Castillo’s damage seems to have been the least extreme of the three. That, after all, is obvious by the truth that Del Castillo is again in Arizona’s lineup for his or her recreation one matchup with the Milwaukee Brewers.
Del Castillo is batting fifth within the order, however isn’t beginning behind residence plate. Veteran backup James McCann is the beginning catcher for Tuesday’s recreation, however Del Castillo seems to be unaffected by way of swinging a bat.
The 26-year-old catcher’ slash is a considerably modest .234/.250/.362, however he is give you some huge knocks and RBIs in clutch moments.
