Eduardo

Rodriguez

The 33-year-old southpaw didn’t walk a batter in the contest while striking out three. The Rockies scratched out a single run against him in the fourth inning, then Kyle Karros tagged him for a solo homer in the sixth inning. Rodriguez got 12 swings and misses on 92 pitches on the day, posting a CSW of 18 percent. He wraps up a tremendous bounce-back season with a 16-7 record, 2.89 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and a 143/62 K/BB ratio across 189 2/3 innings in 32 starts.

An incredibly odd first from Rodriguez saw him give up five runs on three walks, two singles and a run-scoring wild pitch. That was the bulk of the damage, but he did allow two solo homers afterwards. The seven runs allowed matched his season high, and he topped his season high for earned runs by two. He’s lost three out of four starts to fall to 15-7 with a 2.89 ERA. He’ll likely pitch at Coors in his final start next week.

Rodriguez gave up a two-run homer right away in the first but then kept the Rangers scoreless until the fifth, when misplays from Nolan Arenado and Lars Nootbaar fueled a three-run inning. All of those runs were unearned. Rodriguez stayed in to start the sixth, only to be removed after a walk and a sac bunt. The run came around to score after Taylor Clarke took over. Rodriguez fell to 15-6 with a 2.62 ERA. He’ll get the Yankees on Saturday, likely in a matchup with Cam Schlittler. That makes him a pretty mediocre play in mixed leagues.

Rodriguez gave up three hits, walked two and struck out six. He improved to 15-5 with the win. Rodriguez has won seven of his last nine starts. He has a 2.55 ERA. Rodriguez is lined up to face the Rangers at home next weekend.

Rodriguez allowed two runs on a walk and two hits in the first inning. After three scoreless frames, he gave up a third run on a walk and two hits in the fifth. He’d depart at 103 pitches after five frames with three strikeouts. The 33-year-old left-hander will take a 2.59 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, and a 122/55 K/BB ratio across 167 innings into a start against the Royals in Kansas City on Monday.

Rodriguez allowed two hits and three walks in the 104-pitch outing, which came against the highest scoring offense in MLB. The nine strikeouts tied a season high as he lowered his ERA to 2.50. It’s the continuation of a career-best campaign for E-Rod, who never had an ERA below 3.30 prior to 2026. He also posted an ERA over 5 in each of the past two seasons. Rodriguez continues to overperform his peripheral stats, but he’s simply been one of the best values in fantasy this year. He’ll draw a tough matchup with the Phillies next time out.

What a difference a year makes. Rodriguez is now 13-4 on the season, and he’s deserving of that excellent record with a 2.61 ERA; a massive improvement from the 5.03 mark he held the previous two seasons. He scattered four hits — all singles — and worked around a pair of walks with four strikeouts. The 33-year-old gets a chance to get that 14th win against the Cubs on Wednesday.

Rodriguez gave up five hits, walked none and struck out five. He improved to 12-4 with the win. Rodriguez allowed two runs on three hits in the first inning before settling in to blank the Braves for the next five innings. After posting a 5.03 ERA in 39 starts with the Diamondbacks over the last two seasons, Rodriguez has been excellent this year with a 2.71 ERA. He’s lined up to face the Reds at home next weekend.

It looked like Rodriguez was going to be pulled in the seventh, but the Diamondbacks wanted him to face Shohei Ohtani, who was 0-for-3 with two strikeouts, for a fourth time, and he retired Ohtani on a groundout with his 115th and final pitch of the day. Rodriguez, who hadn’t previously fanned more than seven batters in a game this season, moved to 11-4 with a 2.70 ERA. He finishes the season series 2-0 with a 1.88 ERA in four starts against the Dodgers. He’ll face the Braves next.

The Padres were all over Rodriguez in this one, starting with a three-run first inning on two doubles and two base hits. San Diego would bring three more runs in to score in the second, though two were unearned following a fielding error. Rodriguez settled in to pitch into the sixth, departing with two outs and a runner on. The inherited runner would eventually come in to score. The 33-year-old left-hander will take a 2.64 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, and a 92/45 K/BB ratio across 136 1/3 innings into a start against the Dodgers in Arizona on Sunday.
