Patrick Corbin did his part Friday night, but the offense and the bullpen both had a rare off-night, unable to solve the lowly Phillies.
After the 2011 season, Rubby De La Rosa underwent Tommy John suregery. Then in 2015, as it seemed he was both recovered and also possibly taking the final step in his development, something tightened up in his pitching elbow. Instead of going under the knife a second time, the right-hander decided to undergo first, platlet-rich injections, then later stem-cell treatment on the arm. Now, withthe Diamondbacks in the thick of the race for the NL West, Rubby De La Rosa has returned once more to the mound.
