Cleared to Start Friday's Series Opener Against Cubs

The Arizona Diamondbacks have cleared ace Zac Gallen to return to the mound. Gallen, who had been dealing with shoulder issues, is officially listed as the starting pitcher for Friday's series opener against the Chicago Cubs. His return is a major boost for the Diamondbacks' rotation, as the right-hander had been sidelined while the team monitored his recovery. Gallen will look to provide stability and length in his first start back as Arizona continues its early-season push.
