He's lined up to make his next start at home versus the Dodgers.

Rodriguez has lowered his ERA to 4.98 with a 1.55 WHIP and 76:55 K:BB across 26 starts (137.1 innings) this season. He's currently slated for a rematch with the Giants at home his next time out.

Rotowire
Rodriguez (6-8) allowed four hits and four walks while striking out four over six scoreless innings to earn the win Saturday over the Dodgers.

Rodriguez has a 5.40 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 120:51 K:BB through 125 innings over 24 starts this season. He's projected to face one of his former teams, the Red Sox, in a home start for his next outing.

Rotowire
Rodriguez (5-8) took the loss against the Brewers on Monday, allowing five runs on six hits and one walk while striking out one over 2.1 innings.
The left-hander looked sharp early, retiring his first six batters, but the wheels came off in the third when the first seven Milwaukee hitters he faced reached safely. Christian Yelich delivered a bases-loaded single to drive in two runs in the inning, and Rodriguez was lifted shortly after, recording his shortest outing of the season. The veteran has now surrendered at least four earned runs in six of his last 10 starts and will take his 5.67 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 116:47 K:BB into his next scheduled start against the Dodgers, who are batting .257 versus left-handers in the second half.

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.

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.

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.
