Impact While he didn't have the strikeout pitch working Wednesday, Rodriguez was ultimately effective against a strong Cleveland lineup, making it through 5.2 innings on just 65 pitches. Rodriguez, who had been sidelined with a shoulder injury since spring training, joined the Diamondbacks after pitching to a 3.30 ERA with a 1.15 WHIP and 143 strikeouts in 26 starts with Detroit last season. The left-hander is tentatively lined up to face the Rockies at home early next week in his second outing.

Diamondbacks, Guardians postponed by rain, wet field. Teams playing doubleheader Wednesday
Heavy rain and wet field conditions forced the postponement of Tuesday night’s game between the Arizona Diamondbacks and Cleveland GuardiansAUGUST 7 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
D-backs-Guardians postponed Rodriguez and the Diamondbacks won't face the Guardians on Tuesday, as the game was postponed due to inclement weather.
Impact Tuesday's game will be made up as part of a doubleheader Wednesday, and it's likely that Rodriguez gets the nod to start one of the two games. The 31-year-old will likely be working under some sort of pitch/inning restriction as he makes his season debut after working up to just four innings during simulated games.

Activated ahead of season debut The Diamondbacks activated Rodriguez (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.
Impact Rodriguez has been out since spring training with left shoulder issues but is finally ready to make his season and Diamondbacks debut with a start Tuesday in Cleveland. The left-hander most recently completed a four-inning simulated game last week but did not make any rehab starts, so his workload figures to be muted somewhat initially and rust could also be a factor.

Cleared for season debut Tuesday Rodriguez (shoulder) is expected to make his season and Diamondbacks debut Tuesday in Cleveland, John Gambadoro of 98.7 FM Phoenix reports.
Impact Things were pointing to Rodriguez getting a start against the Guardians and now we have an exact date for the left-hander's first major-league start of the season. He's been out all year with shoulder issues but is now ready to go following a four-inning simulated game Wednesday. Rodriguez did not make any rehab starts and he had been slated to throw 65 pitches in the sim game, so he will be limited from a pitch count perspective and might also be rusty in Cleveland.

Season debut next week likely Rodriguez (shoulder) has joined the Diamondbacks in Pittsburgh and appears on track to make his season debut next week in Cleveland, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Rodriguez had been slated to throw a four-inning, 65-pitch simulated game Wednesday and it appears he came out of that with no concerns. The left-hander could make his season and Diamondbacks debut as soon as Monday, although the club might choose to keep Zac Gallen on turn that day and give Rodriguez the ball Tuesday. If Rodriguez starts either of those days, he would be in line for a two-start week.
AUGUST 2 • ROTOWIRE
Might make season debut next week Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Monday that Rodriguez (shoulder) could make his season debut next week in Cleveland, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Rodriguez is slated to throw a four-inning simulated game Wednesday, and it sounds like that could be his final test before joining Arizona's rotation. The left-hander has been out all season with a left shoulder injury and has not made any rehab starts, so his workload and sharpness next week would be a bit of a mystery.

JULY 26 • ROTOWIRE
Nearing live BP Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Friday that Rodriguez (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session Saturday, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Lovullo indicated the left-hander is likely to throw an additional bullpen after Saturday before progressing to live batting practice. Rodriguez has been on the shelf all season due to a strained shoulder, and he'll likely require a multi-start rehab assignment in the minors before being cleared for his Arizona debut.

More mound work Rodriguez (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session Friday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Impact Rodriguez threw off a mound for the first time this season Tuesday and recovered well. He's eligible to return from the 60-day injured list on July 26, though he'll almost certainly need a rehab start, making it very unlikely he'll return before August.

Completes bullpen session Rodriguez (shoulder) threw a bullpen session with the Diamondbacks on Tuesday, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Rodriguez has been slowly working his way back from a left shoulder strain that he suffered in March, but Tuesday's session is a step in the right direction. The southpaw is eligible to return from the 60-day injured list July 26 and he'll look to advance more in his recovery in the coming weeks to attempt to meet that date.
JULY 9 • ROTOWIRE
Throwing off mound Tuesday Rodriguez (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session Tuesday, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Rodriguez got the green light to pitch off the mound Tuesday after his MRI on Saturday showed his left shoulder has fully healed. Since the 31-year-old hasn't pitched this season, he will need multiple bullpen sessions before embarking on a rehab assignment. Barring any setbacks, Rodriguez could return from the injured list in late July or early August.

Follow-up MRI returns clean Rodriguez's (shoulder) MRI came back clean Saturday, and he's expected to throw a bullpen session soon, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Saturday's follow-up MRI confirmed that Rodriguez's shoulder has fully healed and marked the southpaw's final checkpoint to clear before beginning mound work. The 31-year-old hasn't pitched in 2024 and will require a lengthy ramp-up period that includes a rehab assignment before being activated from the injured list. Still, Rodriguez could be back in late July or early August.

Impact Rodriguez has been out all season with a left shoulder strain, having experienced a setback in April when he experienced renewed tightness. He's trending in a positive direction now, although it's going to be a lengthy ramp-up period after the southpaw resumes mound work.
