Max Fried and Carlos Rod\u00f3n have been great so far, and Ryan Yarbrough has stepped up for the team.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Yankees could be looking for a better option than Clarke Schmidt or Will Warren this summer as they set their sights on another World Series berth. They should get Gil back, but another reliable starter would go a long way.\u00a0Just Baseball&#8217;s Zach Lutz tabbed\u00a0Zac Gallen as an option for the Yankees.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Yankees are also likely to make a move considering Gerrit Cole is out for the year,&#8221; wrote Lutz. &#8220;Max Fried leads the staff, Carlos Rod\u00f3n has been a great No. 2 and Ryan Yarbrough has stepped up big, but adding Gallen would deepen their October rotation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"imageBox\">\n<div class=\"innerBox ar23-innerBox\"><picture class=\"mapping-embed\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2659657\/arizona-diamondbacks-pitcher-zac-gallen.webp?w=790&amp;f=8d4d594b604b70e7155c91855847b2e3 1x\" type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 992px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2659657\/arizona-diamondbacks-pitcher-zac-gallen.jpg?w=790&amp;f=8d4d594b604b70e7155c91855847b2e3 1x\" type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 992px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2659657\/arizona-diamondbacks-pitcher-zac-gallen.webp?w=900&amp;f=28389f3939793bf3a9bd1303b30e4485 1x\" type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2659657\/arizona-diamondbacks-pitcher-zac-gallen.jpg?w=900&amp;f=28389f3939793bf3a9bd1303b30e4485 1x\" type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2659657\/arizona-diamondbacks-pitcher-zac-gallen.webp?w=790&amp;f=8d4d594b604b70e7155c91855847b2e3 1x\" type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2659657\/arizona-diamondbacks-pitcher-zac-gallen.jpg?w=790&amp;f=8d4d594b604b70e7155c91855847b2e3 1x\" type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2659657\/arizona-diamondbacks-pitcher-zac-gallen.webp?w=450&amp;f=56c6c3ac190afda7ed7c120ac3d46a02 1x\" type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2659657\/arizona-diamondbacks-pitcher-zac-gallen.jpg?w=450&amp;f=56c6c3ac190afda7ed7c120ac3d46a02 1x\" type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2659657\/arizona-diamondbacks-pitcher-zac-gallen.webp?w=1200&amp;f=857c5dd7a8ead2b3e3844601ae00999b\" type=\"image\/webp\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i2659657\" class=\"mapping-embed imgPhoto\" src=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2659657\/arizona-diamondbacks-pitcher-zac-gallen.jpg?w=1200&amp;f=857c5dd7a8ead2b3e3844601ae00999b\" alt=\"Arizona Diamondbacks, pitcher, Zac Gallen\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" \/><\/picture><\/div><figcaption class=\"caption ar23-caption\"><span id=\"short-cap-description\" class=\"cap\">BOSTON, MA &#8211; AUGUST 24: Zac Gallen #23 of the Arizona Diamondbacks pitches against the Boston Red Sox during the fifth inning at Fenway Park on August 24, 2024 in Boston, Massachusetts.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"credit ar23-credit\">Winslow Townson\/Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Gallen is going to be a free agent after the season, and the Arizona Diamondbacks may not be willing to pay him after giving Corbin Burnes a $210 million deal last offseason.\u00a0Gallen is projected to earn\u00a0a six-year, $116 million deal on the open market.<\/p>\n<p>He has not pitched like himself this year.
