The latest news from Torey Lovullo hints at an earlier than expected return for the left-hander.
The Arizona Diamondbacks have yet to see Eduardo Rodriguez step on a mound in a regular season game in 2024. Unofficially, that could possibly change as early as next week Monday or Tuesday against the Guardians in Cleveland.
Torey Lovullo reported today that Rodriguez would throw a simulation game at Salt River Fields on Wednesday, July 31st. The plan is for the left-hander go four innings, and 55-60 pitches. The next step in his progression after that would logically be five innings and 70-75 pitches. Rather he spoke extensively about the preference on the part of Rodriguez to pitch in the controlled environment of a simulation game. Rather then head off to Reno or Amarillo, where impatient hitters may be retired in just six or seven pitches, Rodriguez can make sure he throws at least 12-15 pitches per inning.
