Rubby De La Rosa starting for Diamondbacks Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Rubby De La Rosa will start Friday against the San Francisco Giants.

What It Means:

De La Rosa was originally expected to return as a reliever and Braden Shipley was going to start. Their roles now appear to have swapped. A sprained ulnar collateral ligament has kept De La Rosa out of major league work since late May.

De La Rosa was having a promising season before the injury, with career-bests in both SIERA (3.64) and strikeout rate (23.90 percent) across 47 2/3 innings pitched.
