Right-hander Zac Gallen is headed to the Arizona Diamondbacks from the Miami Marlins for shortstop prospect Jazz Chisholm, source tells ESPN. Gallen has been very good, with a 2.72 ERA in seven major league starts.

Also: with the Rays and Phillies each picking up big bats, are the Cubs the only team left in on Nick Castellanos?
