Diamondbacks' Big Signing Hits a Snag

Eduardo Rodriguez, inked to a hefty $80MM deal for his rocket arm, hits a snag as the D-Backs hit pause on his throwing program. Here's the scoop: his tricky lat just won't cooperate, meaning his debut is stuck on the bench. A rough start? You bet. The man was meant to be the ace behind Zac Gallen and Merrill Kelly, especially after clocking in a career-best 3.30 ERA with the Tigers. But it looks like he's chilling at least until May.

Late Pickups and Struggling Starters

With Rodriguez on the shelf, the D-Backs made a snap grab for Jordan Montgomery, and folks, it's like finding a last-minute date for prom – surprisingly good but with a twist. Now, the plot thickens as Montgomery ramps up in Triple-A, gunning for a major league call-up by next week. But here's the catch: the rest of the rotation is kind of a wild card. Brandon Pfaadt? More like baffled, sitting pretty with a 6.48 ERA. Tommy Henry and Ryne Nelson? More runs than a broken faucet. One of these guys is definitely getting a bus ticket to Triple-A town when Montgomery steps up.

Drama, comebacks, and curveballs – the D-Backs' season is already a rollercoaster, and it's only April. For all the details and snarky insights on your favorite teams, stick with Statbet – we're all about that sports life, minus the filler.
