EDUARDO RODRIGUEZ NEWS

Makes spring debut Rodriguez allowed one walk and struck out one over two scoreless innings in Sunday's spring start against the Rangers.

Impact Rodriguez cruised through his first Cactus League start, setting down the side in order in the first inning and working around a two-out walk in the second. He threw 31 pitches (18 strikes). The left-hander told Steve Gilbert of MLB.com following Sunday's outing that he threw all of his pitches and feels everything is right where he wants it to be, which suggests the pitcher will be ready to go come Opening Day. Rodriguez opened the 2024 season on the injured list due to a shoulder issue and was limited to just 10 starts in the first year of a four-year contract.

Spring debut Sunday Rodriguez will make his Cactus League debut Sunday against the Rangers, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.

Impact Rodriguez will be the last of Arizona's healthy starting pitchers to make a spring debut. Durability issues have crept into the left-hander's game heading into his age-32 season. Rodriguez made just 10 starts in 2024, the second time in three seasons with fewer than 20 starts.

Short scoreless outing Saturday Rodriguez allowed four hits and two walks while striking out three over 4.2 scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Padres on Saturday.

Impact Rodriguez failed to complete five innings for the fourth time over six starts in September. He was pulled at 62 pitches (41 strikes) Saturday, though it was likely due to him pitching into a jam that Kevin Ginkel was able to escape. Rodriguez concludes the regular season with a 5.04 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 47:19 K:BB over 50 innings across 10 starts. If the Diamondbacks are able to make the playoffs, it's unclear whether Rodriguez would work as a starter or a reliever.

Handed fourth loss Rodriguez (3-4) allowed five runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out eight over 4.2 innings to take the loss versus the Giants on Monday.

Impact Rodriguez gave up three home runs, including an inside-the-park one by Matt Chapman in the third inning that put the Giants ahead. The five runs allowed matched a season high for Rodriguez, and this was the third time he failed to complete five innings. He's now at a 5.56 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 44:17 K:BB through 45.1 innings over nine starts. The southpaw is tentatively projected for one more start in the regular season, which would be at home versus the Padres.

Fans 11 in Wednesday's win Rodriguez (3-3) picked up the win Wednesday, giving up two runs on five hits and a walk over 6.1 innings in a 9-4 victory over the Rockies. He struck out 11.

Impact The veteran southpaw navigated Coors Field to set a new season high in strikeouts, and the 11 K's were his best performance in that category since he fanned a dozen Phillies almost exactly five years ago, on Sept. 14, 2019. Rodriguez picked up his first win since Aug. 20 along with his first quality start of the year, and the 6.1 innings also represented his longest outing of the season. He didn't make his 2024 debut until Aug. 7 due to shoulder issues that cropped up in spring training, and while his 5.09 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 36:14 K:BB through 40.2 innings aren't particularly impressive, he could be rounding into form just in time to help Arizona lock up a playoff spot. Rodriguez lines up to make his next start at home early next week against the Giants.

Takes low-scoring loss Rodriguez (2-3) allowed two runs on five hits and three walks while striking out seven over five innings to take the loss versus the Brewers on Friday.

Impact Rodriguez has walked multiple batters in three straight starts, though he was able to get back to the five-inning mark after falling short in his previous two outings. The veteran southpaw's mistake Friday was a two-run home run by Rhys Hoskins in the fourth inning. Rodriguez is now at a 5.50 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 25:13 K:BB through 34.1 innings over seven starts this season. He's projected to make his next start at Colorado.

Impact The southpaw threw just 49 of his 88 pitches for strikes, and Houston batters got plenty of wood on the ones Rodriguez did get over the plate. The 31-year-old hasn't provided the boost to the Arizona rotation that the team was hoping for since he came off the IL in early August -- over six starts and 29.1 innings this season, he's stumbled to a 5.83 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 18:10 K:BB. Rodriguez will look to turn things around in his next outing, which lines up to come at home next weekend against the Brewers.

Goes four innings in loss Rodriguez (2-1) took the loss Monday against the Dodgers, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks across four innings. He struck out one.

Impact Monday's outing was Rodriguez's fifth of the season and marked his first time failing to complete five innings. The left-hander suffered his first loss of the year and yielded a two-run home run to Freddie Freeman in the third inning. Rodriguez has been serviceable since coming off the IL in early August, though his ERA has tumbled to 5.33 after 25.1 innings. He's on pace to face the Astros this weekend.
