Diamondbacks Pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez Shut Down Due to Lat Strain

We have good news and bad news after today’s Diamondbacks spring training game. The bad news is Torey Lovullo did confirm the team has shut down starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez due to a left lat strain. However, E-Rod himself said he was at “about 95%” and should be ready to go very soon. How will this impact the start of his season and what options do the D-backs have in his absence? We also have more on J.D. Martinez signing a one-year, $12 million contract with the New York Mets. Derek is inconsolable about it, but should he be?
