## Resource

Arizona Diamondbacks keep their playoff hopes alive as Eduardo Rodriguez dazzles again, lowering his ERA to 2.27—sixth best in MLB. Can the D-backs’ injury-ravaged rotation stay afloat with prospects Mitch Bratt and Jose Cabrera stepping up, and will Brandon Pfaadt bounce back from a rocky year? George Lund breaks down Rodriguez’s All-Star case, underlying analytics casting doubt on his sustainability, and why Corbin Carroll deserves more national recognition. Rotation turmoil intensifies with Merrill Kelly struggling and young arms thrust into key roles. George Lund examines the impact of clutch performances from veterans like Lourdes Gurriel Jr and Nolan Arenado, the persistent runners-in-scoring-position woes haunting the lineup, and whether the D-backs’ offensive spark is imminent. Get fresh insight on prospect development, trade aftermath, and Arizona’s path through a crowded NL Wild Card race—plus a look at Max Kepler’s looming return and Carroll’s All-Star snub.
