Diamondbacks News

Eduardo Rodriguez is emerging as a key asset in the Diamondbacks' Wild Card chase, boasting one of the best seasons of his career just as the D-backs tread water in the playoff race with a 75-68 record. After a narrow 4-3 win against the Astros, the team has gone an uninspiring 3-4 over the past week, with the offense sputtering to just 2.4 runs per game. Meanwhile, Geraldo Perdomo’s health remains a concern after a scary incident where he took a line drive to the helmet, though he appears to be okay. The D-backs also made headlines off the field, designating Max Kepler for assignment and losing outfielder Jorge Barrosa to the Astros, leaving fans wondering what the team’s path forward looks like as the playoff stakes rise.
