As if the Diamondbacks' bullpen situation was not already dire enough, the club lost closer Shelby Miller on Monday to a right forearm strain that was announced just before the team's series opener against the Padres. What do we know about Miller's injury so far and how will the D-backs manage save situations in his absence? Could the Miller injury push the team more toward selling at the trade deadline? Meanwhile, Zac Gallen once again looked like himself as he tossed six dominant innings with nine strikeouts against the Padres. Is Gallen officially back and what has caused this turnaround? Does his recent success only add to the incentive to deal him at the deadline? Finally, we discuss our takeaways from the Royals series on Ryne Nelson, Eduardo Rodriguez and others, as well as some additional injury updates on Pavin Smith, Ryan Thompson and Ketel Marte.
