Manager Chip Hale indicated Saturday that De La Rosa will be part of the starting rotation, the Arizona Republic reports.
While the 26-year-old's 4.67 ERA and 1.36 WHIP don't jump off the page, Hale is reportedly awarding him for tossing 188.2 innings despite the struggles. He'll need to improve his numbers to become fantasy-relevant in anything other than deep leagues, and his issues with the long ball (1.5 HR/9 allowed) may continue to be accentuated by pitching at Chase Field.
