Eduardo Rodriguez Fantasy Stats

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%.

Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said before Monday's series opener against the hosting Cleveland Guardians that starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez (lat) will officially start for the team on Tuesday. After a season full of stops and starts because of injuries, Rodriguez will make his highly-anticipated D-backs debut in Tuesday's game against the Guardians. Rodriguez first suffered a strained left lat in spring training before running into several setbacks on the road to recovery, but he's ready to roll after throwing a four-inning simulated game on Wednesday. Rodriguez accrued a strong 3.30 ERA in 152 2/3 innings with the Detroit Tigers in 2023, but he'll be difficult to trust for fantasy purposes against the first-place Guardians on the road on Tuesday.

Arizona Diamondbacks left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez (shoulder) will throw a four-inning simulated game on Wednesday and could be an option to come off the injured list to make his debut with the D-backs next week on the road against the Cleveland Guardians, according to manager Torey Lovullo. It's a bit surprising that Arizona isn't going to require the 31-year-old veteran southpaw to go on a minor-league rehab assignment despite having not pitched at all in 2024 after initially injuring his shoulder/lat in spring training. Because of the fact that he's expected to join the starting rotation without having pitched in a live game all year, fantasy managers should be extremely hesitant to rely on E-Rod, especially in a bad matchup in Cleveland against the first-place Guardians. When Rodriguez is fully stretched out, he'll make for a matchup-based streamer in deep-mixed leagues, at best.
