Eduardo Rodriguez takes loss after quality start

Eduardo Rodriguez

AZ Starting Pitcher #57

Player Stats

Eduardo Rodriguez surrendered two runs in six-plus innings in a loss to the Brewers on Sunday.

Rodriguez kept the Brewers scoreless until giving up a single and a homer to Jake Bauers to begin the seventh, ending his day at 102 pitches. One inning earlier, he gave up a 423-foot double to Jackson Chourio that would have been a homer in 29 ballparks. Other than that, Rodriguez was quite good, even though his velocity was down a tad. He struck out just three, but then, he’s averaging only four strikeouts per start on the season. He walked none for a second straight outing, which is nice from a guy who had a 10 percent walk rate previously. Rodriguez was named to his first All-Star team on Saturday. His peripherals suggest that he’s due to regress, but he’s 7-3 with a 2.25 ERA right now. He’ll likely face the Dodgers on Friday.

Eduardo Rodriguez

Eduardo Rodriguez gave up homers to the first two batters he faced but nothing else through six innings Friday in a win over the Dodgers.

Rodriguez struck out five and walked one, making for one of his better K/BBs of the year. He’s actually had just one start this season with more than four more strikeouts than walks, yet that was in one of his three losses; he struck out six and walked none while giving up three runs in 5 1/3 innings versus the Rockies at Coors Field back in May. With the win, the first-time All-Star closes out the first half 8-3 with a 2.29 ERA.

Despite striking out just one batter, Eduardo Rodriguez pitched seven innings of one-run ball to defeat the Giants on Monday.

One would think for Rodriguez to be 7-1 with a 2.21 ERA while sporting the worst strikeout and walk rates of his career, the left-hander would at least have to be producing an extraordinary amount of soft contact. That’s not what’s happening, though. He gave up 12 hard-hit balls tonight, and his hard hit and barrel rates are about a little higher than his career averages. It just hasn’t mattered for a full three months now. He surrendered three barrels tonight, all of which turned into outs. Two were off the bat off Rafael Devers and would have been homers in 17 and six ballparks, respectively. Rodriguez ranks fifth in the majors in ERA. He’ll take on the Brewers next.

Eduardo Rodriguez tossed 6 2/3 scoreless innings and got a no-decision in the Diamondbacks’ 4-3 victory over the Cardinals on Tuesday.

Rodriguez gave up three hits, walked three and struck out five. The 33-year-old left-hander continues to defy logic and statistics with his 2.27 ERA in 16 starts. Rodriguez skills paint a very different story as he has a 17 percent strikeout percentage, eight percent walk percentage and 4.40 xFIP. Rodriguez is lined up to face the Rays on the road this weekend and regression could be waiting for him regardless of the opponent.

Eduardo Rodriguez limited the Angels to one run over seven innings in earning his sixth victory Wednesday.

The run came right away on Zach Neto’s leadoff homer in the first. Rodriguez allowed five more hits and walked three, but he induced three double-play balls to halt any rallies. Rodriguez is putting together a pretty amazing combination in boasting a career-low ERA (2.45), a career-low strikeout rate (17.9 percent) and a career-high walk rate (9.6 percent) this season. His groundball and exit velocity numbers aren’t any better than usual, so something will have to give at some point. He’ll pitch in St. Louis and St. Pete next week.

Eduardo Rodriguez allowed two earned runs over 2 2/3 innings while striking out three on Friday against the Reds.

Rodriguez struggled with his command early in this one. He threw 40 pitches and walked three batters in the first inning, but somehow managed to escape the frame after forcing back-to-back flyouts to end a bases-loaded threat. Rodriguez would allow a leadoff homer to Noelvi Marte to start the second inning, and he only recorded two outs in the third before being pulled with a runner on and 85 pitches thrown. The five walks Rodriguez allowed are the most he has allowed in any game this season. We’ll assume this was just a bad night, and he’ll regain his command in his next start, which is scheduled for Wednesday against the Angels.

Eduardo Rodriguez allowed six hits and four runs with one walk and five strikeouts over 6 1/3 innings in a loss to the Nationals on Saturday.

Things did not start out well for Rodriguez when Curtis Mead socked a two-run homer as the second batter of the game. Then, after cruising in the middle innings, he gave up two more runs when the Diamondbacks tried to push him through the seventh. Still, his changeup and curveball were each highly effective as they’ve been for most of his resurgent season. He’ll take a 2.52 ERA into his next scheduled start against the Reds in Cincinnati.

Eduardo Rodriguez limited the Dodgers to one run over six innings in a no-decision Monday.

Rodriguez endured an amusing sequence in the fourth, when Miguel Rojas challenged a pair of strike calls and both were found to have missed the zone by 0.1 inches. That put Rodriguez behind 3-1, but Rodriguez came back with an obvious strike and then another close call that Rojas again challenged. This time, the strike call stood, with about one-quarter of the baseball catching the corner. In truth, Rojas really shouldn’t have challenged any of them, considering there were two outs and none on at the time. The D-backs didn’t go ahead until the bottom of the seventh tonight, so Rodriguez remained 5-1 with a 2.24 ERA. Arizona did improve to 9-3 in his starts, however. Rodriguez will face the Nationals on Saturday.

Eduardo Rodriguez allowed two runs with six strikeouts over six innings in a win over the Giants on Tuesday.

Rodriguez surrendered a solo homer to Casey Schmitt in the first inning. A double and a base hit brought a second run in for the Giants in the third. Rodriguez settled in nicely, giving the Diamondbacks three more scoreless frames, ending his day after six with six strikeouts on his way to a win. The 33-year-old left-hander will take a 2.31 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, and a 49/25 K/BB ratio across 66 1/3 innings into a start against the Dodgers in Arizona on Monday.

Eduardo Rodriguez worked seven scoreless innings but didn’t qualify for a decision against the Rockies on Thursday.

Rodriguez was much more effective than his previous start against the Rockies when he worked 5 1/3 innings and gave up three runs. He scattered four hits allowed — just one of them for extra bases — and he whiffed four against one walk. What a comeback season it has been for Rodriguez; a pitcher that was borderline unusable over the last two seasons now has a 2.24 ERA over 60 1/3 innings in his first 10 starts. Unfortunately, this one comes with no win because the D-backs were blanked while was in the game. His next scheduled start comes Tuesday versus the Giants in San Francisco.

Eduardo Rodriguez gave up three runs with six strikeouts over 5 1/3 innings in a loss against the Rockies on Saturday.

Rodriguez had some trouble in the first inning, giving up two runs on four hits. Two more hits in the second brought a third run home for the Rockies. After it looked like he’d get chased early, he settled in to pitch into the sixth without giving up another run, keeping the Diamondbacks in the game. He struck out six. The 33-year-old left-hander will take a 2.53 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, and a 39/22 K/BB ratio across 53 1/3 innings into a rematch against the Rockies in Arizona on Thursday.

White Sox signed first-round pick SS Roch Cholowsky.

Cholowsky receives a $10.35 million signing bonus, which represents a roughly $1 million under-slot deal, as the top-overall pick in the 2026 MLB Draft. The 21-year-old was universally regarded as the most polished collegiate shortstop in at least a decade with a real chance to be above average both at the plate and in the field. From a fantasy standpoint, he projects as a strong contributor in the power department with enough hit tool projection to envision a respectable batting average. He won’t help at all in the stolen base department, which caps his realistic upside. Still, he’s a phenomenal prospect with a chance to bolster Chicago’s rapidly improving young nucleus as one one of their franchise cornerstones.

The Brewers and Jacob Misiorowski haven’t discussed a long-term contract extension, according to FanSided’s Robert Murray.

Misiorowski has made the leap from hard-throwing phenom to top-of-the-rotation force within the last few months, posting a microscopic 1.62 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 167/27 K/BB ratio across 111 innings over 18 first-half starts. The 24-year-old flame-thrower won’t reach free agency until 2032, but with more teams prioritizing long-term extensions with their top young players, it feels a bit surprising that there haven’t even been preliminary talks yet. Misiorowski is slated to resume throwing this week after being scratched from his final first-half outing due to fatigue. It doesn’t appear to be a serious concern, but fantasy managers should continue monitoring his status coming out of the All-Star break.

Bride has gotten into 214 games in the big leagues between three different organizations since 2022. He was in Rangers camp as a non-roster invitee this spring. The 30-year-old has been cut loose after batting .271/.389/.418 with nine homers and eight steals in 357 plate appearances over 80 games for Triple-A Round Rock. He should be able to latch on elsewhere as organizational depth.

Cole Ragans underwent season-ending UCL repair surgery earlier this month.

Ragans underwent a less invasive surgical operation to repair his UCL than a full Tommy John ligament replacement or even an internal brace procedure. Basically, the surgeon was able to repair his existing ligament with sutures. The exact nature of the procedure was unknown until he actually had the operation done earlier this month. The positive news is that it wasn’t his third career Tommy John surgery, but he’s still facing a lengthy rehabilitation process. There’s a chance he’s back in Kansas City’s rotation sometime around midseason in 2027.

Ronald Acuña Jr. (hamstring) went 0-for-3 with a strikeout on Monday in a minor league rehab game in the Rookie-level Florida Complex League.

Acuña played five innings in right field during his first rehab contest. The 28-year-old fantasy superstar appears on track to return to Atlanta’s lineup following the All-Star break. He’s been brought along slowly in his recovery from a left hamstring issue that has forced him to the injured list on a pair of occasions since early May. He’ll get in a handful of additional rehab contests in the Florida Coast League before his next steps come into focus.

Ha-Seong Kim (finger) went 2-for-3 with a solo homer on Monday in a minor league rehab game in the Rookie-level Florida Complex League.

There’s no way to sugarcoat the obvious that Kim has been a complete non-factor at the dish in his Atlanta debut this season. The 30-year-old was hitting .068 (5-for-73) with zero homers and one steal in 82 plate appearances before hitting the shelf with right middle finger inflammation last week. There’s still time for him to turn things around and the Braves are obviously hoping that the minor-league reset will jump-start that process.

Jackson Jobe (elbow) recorded four strikeouts over three shutout innings on Monday in a minor league rehab start in the Rookie-level Florida Complex League.

Jobe allowed just two baserunners and threw 27 of 38 pitches for strikes in his second rehab outing as he continues to work his way back from last year’s Tommy John surgery. The hard-throwing 23-year-old should factor into Detroit’s second-half pitching plans in some capacity, but his realistic fantasy impact will largely be determined by their place in the American League’s playoff picture.
