D-backs not worried after Gallen (shoulder), Perdomo (ankle) exit Mexico City Series opener
“[Gallen] had his shirt off and he had a big seam mark there,” manager Torey Lovullo said postgame. “It impacted his shoulder in a good spot. I think it’s going to get really sore, like a charley horse of some sort. We’re going to treat him up and continue to get him into his throwing program and his routine as fast as possible.
“Perdomo, much of the same. If he doesn’t start tomorrow, he should be available at some point off the bench.”
Gallen said he counted six to seven seams from the baseball on his shoulder when he finally took a look at it. https://www.mlb.com/dbacks/news/zac...s-start-with-shoulder-injury-after-comebacker

After starring for Team Mexico, Thomas goes yard in Mexico City Series
“We had just scored some runs … and I just tried to lock in to the situation, but I could definitely feel the energy from the Mexican crowd, and it was really cool,” Thomas said. “Doing it in Mexico after playing in the WBC not too long ago, it was definitely a special moment for me and my family, and hopefully my nana was watching at home.”
