E-Rod Skipping Diamondbacks-Padres Series
Arizona's Eduardo Rodriguez is unavailable for the 4-game set at San Diego, leaving the rotation in flux.
A series preview article notes that Eduardo Rodriguez, described as the Diamondbacks' best pitcher, will not take the mound during the 4-game series against the Padres. No specific reason is given, but his absence is flagged as a significant concern for Arizona. The source appears to be a fan or unofficial preview rather than a beat reporter, limiting confidence in the signal. The series is set at Petco Park in San Diego.
