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.

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.

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.

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.

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 left-hander managed to settle in, holding the Jays to one unearned run over his final 3.2 innings, though Arizona couldn't overcome the early deficit in an 8-1 defeat. It's been an up-and-down year thus far for Rodriguez, who sports a 5.93 ERA with a 1.62 WHIP and 64:22 K:BB across 12 starts (60.2 innings).

Diamondbacks' Eduardo Rodriguez: Efficient outing in return Friday
Rotowire
Rodriguez gave up two runs on six hits and no walks in five innings before Friday's game against the Reds was suspended at 3-3 in the seventh inning. He struck out three.
Rodriguez worked rather efficiently in his first MLB start since May 14, throwing 48 of his 72 pitches for strikes while not issuing a free pass for only the second time in 2025. While he matched his second-lowest strikeout total of the year, the 32-year-old southpaw tossed at least five innings while yielding two runs or fewer for the third time over his 10 outings. Rodriguez has a strong 55:18 K:BB through 49.2 innings, but his 6.70 ERA and 1.65 WHIP leave a lot to be desired. He'll look to improve his ratios his next time out versus the Mariners next week.
