De La Rosa took the loss Sunday, giving up four runs on eight hits and two walks in just 3.2 innings of work in a 5-3 loss to the Mets.
The righty was victimized by Kirk Nieuwenhuis and Daniel Murphy, who combined to hit three home runs in the first three innings. It's been a miserable month of July for the righty --- in two starts he's allowed more runs (10) than innings pitched (8.2) and has fanned just five batters. De La Rosa has now given up 21 homers in just 110.3 innings on the season and is sporting 99:29 K:BB ratio. He will look to improve upon his 5.06 ERA when he takes on the Marlins after the All-Star break.

De La Rosa was shelled for six runs on eight hits and a walk in Sunday's start against the Rockies, dropping to 6-4 on the season.
The righty has struggled with allowing home runs all season and this outing was no different, as five of the six Runs he allowed came via the long ball. De La Rosa had allowed two runs or fewer in his four previous starts and will look to get back on track against the Mets next Sunday.

De La Rosa allowed two runs on six hits and a walk over 5.2 innings in Tuesday's no decision against the Dodgers. He struck out seven.
This start was De La Rosa's worst in his last four, which just goes to show how far he's come. He had a 5.84 ERA on June 8th that has dropped to 4.60 over that span, in which De La Rosa has 23 strikeouts against seven walks in 27.2 innings. The power (94.1 MPH average fastball velocity) is starting to translate into results.

De La Rosa pitched seven effective innings, allowing one run on five hits and one walk while striking out four Thursday against the Rockies.
Though he left the game with the Diamondbacks in front 2-1, De La Rosa picked up a no-decision as Arizona failed to hold on to the lead. After a stretch in which he gave up 20 runs in 15 innings, De La Rosa has given up only two runs in 22 innings over his past three starts. He'll look to build on his recent excellence in his next scheduled start Tuesday against the Dodgers.

De La Rosa was very good Friday against the Padres to pick up the win, striking out six over seven innings while allowing two runs (one earned) on five hits and three walks.
De La Rosa's roller coaster season continues, as he has now allowed just one earned run in his last 15 innings, while posting a 12:5 K:BB ratio. His last two starts are certainly encouraging and his 4.96 ERA could dip further, if he can give up fewer home runs. His 1.42 HR/9 are a career-high.
Mon Jun 15 201500:07De La Rosa excellent Sunday against Giants, striking out six and...
De La Rosa was excellent Sunday against the Giants, striking out six and walking just two across eight shutout innings en route to his fifth win of the season.
The stellar performance was much-needed for the right-hander, as he had been shelled for 20 runs in his previous 15 innings pitched. De La Rosa's ERA still sits at an ugly 5.27 for the season, but he will try to build on this positive momentum in Friday's start against the Padres.

De La Rosa took the loss Monday against the Dodgers, as he allowed nine runs on 10 hits over five innings of work.
De La Rosa served up a pair of three-run home runs in his last two innings to spoil what was a promising start to begin with. De La Rosa struck out four and walked one to maintain a sharp K:BB (now 71:19), but his ERA skyrocketed to 5.84.

De La Rosa struck out eight Braves in five innings Wednesday, but allowed seven runs on nine hits and two walks.
He avoided the loss thanks to a comeback win engineered by the Arizona offense and bullpen. De La Rosa was tagged for a pair of homers by Freddie Freeman, accounting for more than half the damage against him. Although his strikeouts have been fantasy-relevant, De La Rosa's tendency to give up home runs -- four in his last two starts and a dozen on the year -- keeps coming back to bite him, and he's got to make half his starts in homer-friendly Chase Field. He'll head out on the road for his next start, Monday against the Dodgers; De La Rosa gave up two homers and five runs in five innings at Chavez Ravine on May 1.

De La Rosa gave up four runs on six hits, including two home runs, and two walks, while striking out four over five innings Friday in a no-decision against the Brewers.
This was the third time in four starts that De La Rosa has given up four runs. His biggest challenge so far this year has been limiting the long ball - his 1.41 HR/9 ranks tied for 88th among 110 qualified pitchers and his home ball park doesn't help. That said, with a 1.14 WHIP and 59 strikeouts in 64 innings, owners in deep and NL-only leagues can overlook his 4.50 ERA to some extent.
Sun May 24 201511:19De La Rosa allowed four runs in six innings while striking out e...
De La Rosa allowed four runs in six innings while striking out eight Cubs on Saturday. He gave up just four hits and two walks while hitting a batter in the no-decision.
It was a strange stat line for De La Rosa, who didn't allow a lot of baserunners, but didn't do a good job preventing them from scoring either. Still, he's been a revelation this season, with 55 strikeouts in 59 innings pitched. If you're in need of whiffs, he can be an asset to your fantasy squad. Rubby will next go against the Brewers in Milwaukee on Friday.

De la Rosa twirled a gem in a no-decision Monday, allowing just two runs in nine innings as the Diamondbacks topped the Marlins in 13 innings.
De la Rosa only struck out five in the start, but he also didn't walk a batter and managed to keep his pitch count below 100 despite pitching nine innings. The righty has been hot his last three starts, allowing just six runs in 23 innings. He'll try to keep up the good work against the Cubs this weekend.

De La Rosa pitched seven innings Tuesday against the Nationals and earned the win, but allowed eight hits, four earned runs, a home run and two walks.
This was De La Rosa's second straight win, and the third time in his past four outings that he lasted seven innings. In seven starts this season he's fanning 8.59 batters per nine innings and has a 1.20 WHIP.

De La Rose pitched seven scoreless innings Thursday, giving up three hits and two walks while striking out seven in a win over the Padres.
De La Rosa had plenty of run support Thursday, as the Diamondbacks won handily, 11-0. The win was De La Rosa's third of the season, and it is the only start this season in which he prevented a team from scoring a run. His next scheduled start will be Wednesday against Washington.

De La Rosa allowed five runs on three hits over five innings while striking out six and walking three in a losing effort against the Dodgers on Friday night.
A pair of home runs did all of the damage, as one was a grand slam from Joc Pederson. De La Rosa's FIP is nearly a full run below his current 5.40 ERA, thanks to a strong strikeout rate (9.3 K/9, 24.4%) and his ability thus far to limit his walks (2.4 BB/9, 6.3%). The long ball has been a consistent problem, as he's allowed six through 30 innings over five starts (17.1% HR/FB, career 12.7%). De La Rosa will likely be best served on the bench when he takes his next turn against the Rockies at Coors Field on Wednesday.
Sun Apr 26 201511:45De La Rosa outstanding Saturday in start against Pirates, tossin...
De La Rosa was outstanding Saturday in his start against the Pirates, tossing seven innings of one-run ball and allowing just four hits with eight strikeouts. He didn't factor in the decision as the D-Backs fell 2-1 in the contest.
This was De La Rosa's first start of the year without giving up a walk or home run. He has been a good source of strikeouts so far (25 strikeouts in 25 innings) and he has his ratios down to a 4.68 ERA and 1.28 WHIP. It's a promising start to the season for the 26-year-old.
Sun Apr 19 201511:29De La Rosa on losing end of 4-1 result Saturday against Giants
De La Rosa was on the losing end of a 4-1 result Saturday against the Giants. He went 6.2 innings allowing three earned runs on nine hits, while giving up two walks and striking out seven. He gave a two-run home run in the contest.
De La Rosa has struggled a bit in the early going, posting a 6.00 ERA and 1.56 WHIP over 18 innings in this first three starts. While he has 17 strikeouts and has yielded only five walks, he has given up four homers, which will be a problem in his home ballpark over the course of the season. The Diamondbacks have good reason to see what they have in De La Rosa, since he was part of the return for Wade Miley in the off-season, so there shouldn't be any immediate danger of him losing his rotation spot.

De La Rosa turned in a quality start Monday against the Padres to move to 2-0 on the season. He tossed six innings of three-run ball with five strikeouts and gave up six hits and a walk. He surrendered a home run in the outing as well.
De La Rosa has receive plenty of run support in both of his starts, which explains how he has two wins despite yielding nine earned runs in 11.3 innings so far. His 10:3 strikeout to walk ratio is acceptable, but of some concern he has yielded three home runs already in the early stages of the season, which will only lead to trouble if he can't get it under control.

De La Rosa picked up the win Tuesday against the Giants, but allowed six earned runs on two home runs in 5.1 innings while striking out five.
This was only De La Rosa's 29th start of his career. In 18 starts for the Red Sox last season, he finished 4-8 with a WHIP of 1.49 and ERA of 4.43.
Fri Apr 3 201513:21Rubby De La Rosa: Solid In Final Spring Start
De La Rosa threw six innings of one-run ball, allowing four hits and a walk while striking out four Thursday against the White Sox.
In his final spring start, De La Rosa saw most of the White Sox probably starting lineup and fared well. He will open the year in the Diamondbacks rotation probably starting their third game of the season. His control and ability to limit walks will be key to how long he remains in the rotation. Thursday's outing was a good sign in that respect.
Tue Mar 24 201521:21Rubby De La Rosa: Named To Starting Rotation
De La Rosa will open the season in the Diamondbacks' starting rotation, Jack Magruder of FOX Sports Arizona reports.
Manager Chip Hale recently suggested De La Rosa was in good position to secure a starting job, but he did away with any doubt Tuesday, confirming that the right-hander will be in the rotation to begin the year. De La Rosa has had issues with control so far this spring, issuing 10 free passes in 12 innings to this point, but he should see his stock rise at least a bit in NL-only leagues with the job security.
