Diamondbacks' Eduardo Rodriguez: Rebounds for 16th win
Rotowire
Rodriguez (16-7) earned the win Thursday over the Rockies, allowing two runs on nine hits and no walks over six innings. He struck out three.
Rodriguez did a good job working his way out of danger Thursday, as he held Colorado to just a pair of runs despite dealing with at least one base runner in each of his six innings. It's a nice bounce-back effort from Rodriguez, who was tagged for seven runs over 5.1 frames his last time out against the Yankees. The lefty will finish a strong regular season with a 2.89 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 143:62 K:BB across 32 starts (189.2 innings).

Diamondbacks' Jonathan Loaisiga: Secures second save of season
Rotowire
Loaisiga earned the save after allowing one hit and one walk over a scoreless ninth inning in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Rockies.
Loaisiga was handed a two-run lead and made things interesting before closing out Arizona's victory. Colorado eventually put runners at second and third with two outs, but the right-hander escaped without allowing either to score after retiring Ezequiel Tovar on a popout to first to end the game. The scoreless frame not only lowered Loaisiga's ERA to 2.22 and kept the Diamondbacks' slim playoff chances alive, but it also marked the right-hander's sixth consecutive scoreless outing. Loaisiga has given up just two earned runs over his last 16 appearances and 17.2 innings, posting a pristine 0.51 ERA with a 11:1 K:BB over that stretch.

Rotowire

Kelly worked with a four-run lead after the first inning and kept Colorado from completing a comeback, allowing an RBI double to Adael Amador in the second and a Hunter Goodman sacrifice fly in the third. The veteran has struggled with consistency in recent weeks, and for the most part, his results have been underwhelming, with three or more earned runs allowed in six of his last 10 starts. He closes out the regular season with a 4.94 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 113:70 K:BB across 29 starts and 162 innings.
Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Playing time slipping
Rotowire
Lawlar is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Colorado.
Lawlar looks to be slipping into a secondary role, as this will be the fourth time he's been out of the lineup over the Diamondbacks' last five games against right-handers. Tim Tawa will patrol center field for Arizona.

Diamondbacks' Michael Soroka: Fans nine in strong win
Rotowire
Soroka (9-5) earned the win after allowing two runs (one earned) on two hits and a walk while striking out nine over seven innings in Tuesday's 7-2 victory over the Rockies.
The Diamondbacks needed a strong outing from Soroka to keep their playoff chances alive, and the veteran delivering by fanning nine -- his highest mark since April 10, when he struck out 10. He's now allowed just one earned run in his last two starts, posting a 15:2 K:BB across 12 innings in that span. He's expected to make his final start of the season Sunday against the Padres.
Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Knocks in two in win
Rotowire
Moreno went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 7-2 win over Colorado.
Moreno delivered one run on a single during the team's three-run first inning. He later had a sacrifice fly to knock in another. The two RBI put him at a career-high 77 over 126 games in what has been a breakout season for the 26-year-old catcher. Most of the breakout has happened during the second half, as Moreno sports a .312/.383/.529 slash line with nine home runs, 19 doubles and 45 RBI across 57 contests since the All-Star break.

Arenado finished the Diamondbacks' scoring with a solo homer in the seventh inning. It was the second home run in as many games and 28th of the season for the third basemen, who also extended a hit streak to eight contests. He's helped carry Arizona during its playoff chase in September, going 21-for-51 (.412) with three doubles, seven home runs, 14 RBI and 10 runs scored over his last 14 contests.
Diamondbacks' Corbin Burnes: Remaining in rotation
Rotowire
Burnes is expected to start a game during the final series of the regular season against the Padres, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.
Burnes was roughed up by the Yankees on Sunday, allowing four runs on five hits, including three home runs. The right-hander has allowed five home runs and four walks over 10.1 innings since being activated off the injured list. Burnes is pleased with his secondary offerings, but the velocity of his signature pitch, the cutter, is down and not creating enough separation. He's tentatively scheduled to start Saturday on the road against the Padres.
