Diamondbacks' Eduardo Rodriguez: Takes no-decision against Cleveland
Rotowire
Rodriguez allowed four runs on five hits and three walks while striking out four over 6.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Guardians on Tuesday.
Rodriguez pitched into the seventh inning for the second start in a row, but he left with the game tied at 4-4. The veteran southpaw has alternated between good and mediocre starts since the All-Star break, allowing 17 runs across 36.1 innings over his six outings in that span. He's walked at least three batters in four of those starts. Rodriguez is at a 5.40 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 115:46 K:BB through 116.2 innings across 22 starts. His next outing is projected to be a tough one in Milwaukee, and given his volatility overall this year, he'll be tough to trust for that game.

Diamondbacks' Eduardo Rodriguez: Throws seven strong frames for win
Rotowire
Rodriguez (5-7) allowed one run on six hits and a walk while striking out six over seven innings to earn the win Thursday over the Rockies.
Rodriguez didn't fare well in a no-decision versus the Rockies in Arizona last week, allowing five runs over 5.1 innings. He was much better in Colorado, limiting the damage to a Kyle Farmer solo home run in the fifth inning. Inconsistency has been the story of the year for Rodriguez, who has allowed two or fewer runs in just three of his last seven outings. He's at a 5.40 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 111:43 K:BB across 110 innings through 21 starts. The veteran southpaw is projected to make his next start at home versus the Guardians.

Diamondbacks' Eduardo Rodriguez: Bounces back in win
Rotowire
Rodriguez (4-7) picked up the win Sunday against the Athletics, allowing two runs on six hits and three walks while striking out five over five innings.
Rodriguez turned in a steady performance Sunday after a rocky month of July, when he was tagged for four or more runs in three of his four starts and posted a bloated 7.40 ERA and 1.98 WHIP. Both of Rodriguez's runs allowed came on a Nick Kurtz two-RBI single in the fifth inning, but he otherwise limited damage and kept Arizona in control. The veteran southpaw may be turning a corner, and he'll look to build on this performance in his next outing, slated for next weekend against the Rockies.

Rotowire
Rodriguez (3-7) took the loss against the Tigers on Monday, allowing five runs on eight hits and two walks with five strikeouts over six innings.
Rodriguez allowed runs in four different innings, including home runs in the fourth and sixth. The long ball has become an issue for the southpaw, who's surrendered seven homers across four July outings while posting a 7.40 ERA during that span. He'll carry a 5.63 ERA, 1.65 WHIP, and 98:34 K:BB over 92.2 innings into a road matchup with the Athletics this weekend.

Diamondbacks' Eduardo Rodriguez: Leaves after comebacker
Rotowire
Rodriguez was removed from Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Astros with one out in the seventh inning after a comebacker hit him on the inside of his leg, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.
Rodriguez waved off manager Torey Lovullo and the team's athletic trainer, but Lovullo pulled him from the game. "He was okay. Probably could have gone a little bit extra, but I felt like he had done his job at that point," Lovullo said. Rodriguez was at the 90-pitch mark and probably wouldn't have come out for the eighth. The left-hander is expected to take his next turn in the rotation Monday against the Tigers.

Diamondbacks' Eduardo Rodriguez: Sharp in first start after break
Rotowire
Rodriguez allowed six hits and three walks while striking out three over 6.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Astros on Tuesday.
Rodriguez still gave up a bit too much in terms of baserunners, but he was effective at keeping them from scoring. This was his first start since July 10, as the Diamondbacks built in a little extra time off around the All-Star break for the struggling southpaw, which appears to have paid immediate dividends. He trimmed his ERA from 5.94 to 5.50 and also has a 1.65 WHIP and 93:32 K:BB across 86.2 innings through 17 starts this season. Rodriguez is projected for another tough interleague matchup early next week, when he's slated to toe the rubber in Detroit.
Diamondbacks' Eduardo Rodriguez: Gives up two homers in loss
Rotowire
Rodriguez (3-6) allowed four runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out three over four innings to take the loss Thursday versus the Padres.
Rodriguez's July is off to a terrible start, as he's allowed 13 runs (12 earned) across 8.1 innings in his two starts this month. He's had particular trouble with the long ball, surrendering five homers across those outings, including serving up solo shots to Fernando Tatis and Manny Machado in this contest. Even by his standards this year, Rodriguez has not been pitching well lately. He's now at a 5.94 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 90:29 K:BB through 80.1 innings over 16 starts. He'll get some extra time off for the All-Star break, which could be just the pause he needs to reset and get on track for the second half.
Diamondbacks' Eduardo Rodriguez: No match for Royals
Rotowire
Rodriguez (3-5) allowed nine runs (eight earned) on 12 hits and struck out seven without walking a batter over 4.1 innings to take the loss Friday versus the Royals.
Rodriguez got off to a sour start, allowing three runs in each of the first two innings. He gave up a total of three home runs, including two to Vinnie Pasquantino. Rodriguez had a strong June, pitching to a 1.98 ERA despite a 1.32 WHIP over 27.1 innings, but the nine runs allowed Friday were a season high for the southpaw. He's now at a 5.78 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 87:27 K:BB across 76.1 innings through 15 starts. He'll try to get back on track next week in a start tentatively projected to be on the road versus the Padres.
Diamondbacks' Eduardo Rodriguez: No-decision versus Marlins
Rotowire
Rodriguez allowed a run on four hits and three walks while striking out six over 5.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Marlins on Sunday.
Rodriguez threw 108 pitches (63 strikes) in the outing, but the Diamondbacks' bullpen cost him his chance at a second consecutive win. After returning from a shoulder injury, Rodriguez was sharp in June, allowing seven runs (six earned) over 27.2 innings while adding a 28:9 K:BB in that span. It's a significant improvement from where he was at before the injury -- his early struggles are still evident in his season-long numbers, as he has a 5.13 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 80:27 K:BB over 72 innings across 14 starts. The southpaw is set for a home start versus the Royals next week.
Diamondbacks' Eduardo Rodriguez: Dazzles in third win
Rotowire
Rodriguez (3-4) earned the win Monday against the White Sox, allowing five hits and two walks over six scoreless innings. He struck out 10.
The veteran southpaw notched his third game of double-digit Ks and third quality start of the season with this 92-pitch performance. Rodriguez entered this month with an unsightly 7.05 ERA; however, things were better under the hood as evidenced by a 4.28 FIP and 10.5 K/9. He has been much improved so far in June, pitching to a 2.05 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 22:6 K:BB across 22 innings. The 32-year-old is scheduled to take his next turn in the rotation in Arizona's home series against Miami this weekend.
