Jorge De La Rosa Secures First Career Save On Friday
Chicago Cubs pitcher Jorge De La Rosa picked up his first career save on Friday. De La Rosa filled in for Pedro Strop (hamstring) who was ruled out for the season on Friday. The Cubs rested most of their main bullpen arms on Friday and there is no guarantee that De La Rosa will be on the mound for the Cubs next save. Jesse Chavez, Steve Cishek and Carl Edwards Jr. remain candidates to pick up saves for the Cubs.
The Chicago Cubs have signed veteran lefty pitcher Jorge De La Rosa to a major league contract on Friday. He was released by the Diamondbacks earlier this week, but has found another landing spot on a contending team. Lefty reliever Randy Rosario has been optioned to Triple A, while Yu Darvish has been transferred to the 60-day disabled list. De La Rosa is expected to take Rosario's spot in the bullpen. He is not worth adding in any fantasy formats at the moment.
Jorge De La Rosa Returns From DL, D-backs Option Silvino Bracho
Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Jorge De La Rosa has been reinstated after spending time on the disabled list with right Achilles tendon bursitis. Before the injury, De La Rosa sported a 3.54 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 11 strikeouts. His return comes at the cost of Silvino Bracho, who will be optioned to Triple-A Reno. Bracho has pitched well during his brief stint in the majors, posting a 1.08 ERA and 12 strikeouts. Owners should keep an eye on his return, as he provides a spark as a relief pitcher. De La Rosa can be avoided for now.
