Eduardo Rodriguez Fantasy Stats

Arizona Diamondbacks left-handed pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez is putting together one of the better seasons of his 11-year career so far in 2026, with a 2.25 ERA and 1.21 WHIP through eight starts (48 innings pitched) and 33 strikeouts. In his recent start on Sunday, he went 8 1/3 innings and held the New York Mets to one run. While Rodriguez has had an impressive run, most of his underlying metrics suggest series regression, as evidenced by his 4.70 xFIP, 4.59 xERA, and 5.02 SIERA. Now, that is not to suggest he can't be useful in fantasy; however, it should also suggest that fantasy managers who are viewing him as one of the best fantasy arms in baseball should temper expectations. His 5.9 percent SwStr% and 17.2 percent strikeout rate are very concerning as well, as he clearly doesn't have any of his swing-and-miss stuff going right now, limiting his overall upside in the long run. Up next for Rodriguez is a start at Coors Field over the weekend, making him a risky start in Week 8.

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez has fallen on hard times in recent years, posting back-to-back seasons with an ERA north of 5.00 in 2024 and 2025. However, the 33-year-old has been excellent so far in 2026. Across 18 innings (three starts), Rodriguez is 1-0 with a 0.50 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and 11 strikeouts. The veteran left-hander's line is made even more impressive by the competition he's shut down, as he's faced the Los Angeles Dodgers, Atlanta Braves, and New York Mets. Rodriguez has not posted a strikeout rate above 23% since 2021, so his fantasy upside remains somewhat limited. Still, Rodriguez is showing signs of bouncing back to his 2023 form, when he recorded 13 wins with a 3.30 ERA and 1.15 WHIP as a member of the Detroit Tigers. Fantasy managers in need of a capable innings-eater may want to target Rodriguez.

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez was able to do a nice job on the mound during Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Coming into this game, Rodriguez had been blasted for nine earned runs over his last two starts. He tossed six innings, allowing four hits, four walks, and striking out four batters in the win over the Dodgers on Saturday. The southpaw gave up plenty of base runners, but he was able to work around them. Despite a solid outing, Rodriguez isn't a recommended streaming option against the Boston Red Sox next week.

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez bounced back nicely on the mound during Thursday's start against the Colorado Rockies. Last week, Rodriguez was smacked around for five runs against this same Rockies club. The southpaw looked much better this week as the only damage against him was on a solo home run by Kyle Farmer. Rodriguez went seven innings, allowing one earned run on six hits while striking out six batters in the win. The left-hander doesn't have great overall numbers with a 5.40 ERA, 1.64 WHIP, and a 111/43 K/BB ratio across 21 starts this season. He'll have some deep league appeal against the Cleveland Guardians during his next start.

Arizona Diamondbacks left-handed pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez (shoulder) is nearing a return. On Friday, the southpaw was able to log 4 2/3 innings (73 pitches) with Arizona's ACL affiliate. This was a promising sign to see Rodriguez take on a larger workload and not face any setbacks. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as he could be cleared to return from the 15-day injured list as early as next week. Before his injury, the 32-year-old logged 44 2/3 innings to the tune of a high 7.05 ERA with a 1.70 WHIP. During this stretch, he struck out 52 batters but held a modest 8.5% walk rate. Under the hood, he generated a 4.38 xERA, which suggests he should see some positive regression. When he returns, Ryne Nelson is expected to shift to a relief role.

Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said that left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session on Tuesday after he threw three innings and 55 pitches in a simulated game over the weekend. Rodriguez has recovered quickly after landing on the 15-day injured list on May 15 with inflammation in his left shoulder, and if his bullpen session goes well on Tuesday, he may skip a minor-league rehab assignment entirely and rejoin Arizona's starting rotation when he's eligible to come off the IL on Saturday. When he returns, though, fantasy managers will want to be picky with how they use the 32-year-old veteran southpaw. Before getting injured, E-Rod had allowed four runs or more in four of his last five starts. Overall, it's been tough sledding for Rodriguez with a 7.05 ERA and 1.70 WHIP in his nine starts covering 44 2/3 innings.

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez was roughed up by the Dodgers on Friday, allowing eight earned runs on nine hits and three walks while striking out only three batters in 2 2/3 innings of work before being chased from the game, which resulted in a 14-11 win for Los Angeles. The southpaw began the year with a 4.40 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, and a 22.0 percent K-BB% over five starts but has had to go through a three-game gauntlet against the Mets, Phillies, and Dodgers, during which time he's posted a 14.25 ERA, 2.58 WHIP, and an 8.8 percent K-BB%. The 32-year-old will take on the Giants in San Francisco in his next turn through the rotation, and although they've been surprisingly good this year, the Giants are in the bottom third of the league in terms of batting average against left-handed pitchers, so there is hope that Rodriguez can turn things around. Season-long fantasy managers may want to avoid him, though, until he shows he's back on track.

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez did not have his best stuff in Tuesday's 8-3 loss to the Mets. Rodriguez pitched just four innings, allowing eight runs on nine hits (including three home runs) and a walk with one strikeout. The 32-year-old has been erratic this season, with this start adding one-and-a-half runs to his season ERA. He is now 1-3 with a 6.06 ERA, a 1.44 WHIP, and a 9.64 K/9 rate in six starts and 32 2/3 IP. Unfortunately, things won't get easier for E Rod in his next scheduled start, which will be at the Phillies. Fantasy managers may consider sitting him for that matchup given the potential for another low-floor outing.

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez had his swing-and-miss stuff going during Saturday's game against the Washington Nationals. Rodriguez would have a tough start to the ballgame where he allowed three runs in the first inning. After that, Rodriguez settled down nicely as he recorded 12 strikeouts across five innings of work. He allowed four earned runs on the day which would end up putting him on the hook for the loss. Fantasy managers were still able to get a positive result due to the double digit punchouts. It has been a mixed bag for the veteran southpaw early in the season. We'll see what he can do against the Milwaukee Brewers during his next start.

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez made his long-awaited season debut in Wednesday's 5-3 victory over the Guardians. Rodriguez went five-and-two-thirds innings, allowing three earned runs on four hits (two home runs) and two walks while striking out just one batter. The lefty picked up the win despite not missing many bats as he coaxed just two swings-and-misses in the outing but should have a much more favorable matchup in his next turn through the rotation when he faces the Rockies at home in his next start. The 31-year-old is coming off a strong 2023 season with Detroit where he went 13-9 with a 3.30 ERA (3.66 FIP), 1.15 WHIP, and a 15.3% K-BB%.
