De La Rosa will have his next scheduled start pushed back to Tuesday, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

De La Rosa had been scheduled to start Monday, but the Diamondbacks apparently plan to move him back without having provided a concrete reason. The move shouldn't drastically effect his fantasy status for the week, as he'll still be in line for scheduled starts against Colorado and San Francisco.

Strop struck out the side in his one inning and earned his seventh hold of the season Saturday against the Nationals.

Closer Hector Rondon has pitched the last four days, so he'll probably be unavailable Sunday, meaning Strop could get a save chance. Strop deserves it, as he has a 19:4 K:BB and has given up just five hits in 13.1 innings this year.

Gomez earned his 10th save with a scoreless ninth inning while allowing one hit and striking out one Saturday at the Marlins.

Gomez was given a one-run lead to protect, and despite putting the potential tying run on base, he was able to close out the victory. After blowing his first save of the year in his last outing, he rebounded nicely and lowered his ERA to 2.55.

Nelson allowed six runs, five of which were earned, and eight hits and one walk while striking out five over five innings, but received no decision Saturday at the Reds.

Nelson put the Brewers in a four-run hole in the third inning, but the offense exploded in the late innings to take him off the hook for a potential loss. This was easily his worst start of the season, and it raised his ERA to 3.74. He'll make his next start Thursday against the Padres.

Miller (1-3) allowed two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out one over six innings to earn the win Saturday at the Braves.

Miller gave up single runs in each of the first two innings before shutting down the Braves while the offense gave him a lead just before he exited the contest. After failing to register a quality start in any of his first six outings, he finally was able to record one, though it only lowered his ERA to 7.36. He'll make his next start Thursday against the Giants.

Hoover was optioned to Triple-A Louisville on Saturday.

The Reds announced a series of moves Saturday afternoon, and Hoover will head to Triple-A as right-hander Drew Hayes comes up from Louisville to assume his spot on the roster. Hoover struggled mightily in 12 appearances for the Reds, conceding 19 hits and 17 earned runs across just 10.2 innings.

Matzek (personal) will pitch in an extended spring training game Saturday, Nick Groke of the Denver Post reports.

Matzek seems to be getting near a return to regular action now that he's able to pitch in game situations again. As long as no setbacks occur, the left-hander could enter the Triple-A rotation within the next week or two.

Adleman (1-0) surrendered four hits, an earned run and three walks over five innings in Friday's 5-1 victory over the Brewers. He struck out four.

After an impressive major league debut against the Pirates on Sunday, Adleman picked up his first career victory at home with an equally effective outing. His control was a bit more of an issue Friday, as Adleman had to exit after only five frames due to an elevated pitch count (101). However, the 28-year-old rookie was able to notch first-pitch strikes on 14 of the 23 batters he faced and induce 16 missed swings as well. He'll attempt to keep his momentum going in a rematch against the Pirates in Cincinnati next Wednesday.

Rodney worked around a pair of walks, striking out two, in a scoreless inning Friday versus the Mets to earn his eighth save of the season.

The veteran has still yet to be scored upon this season through 12 innings, and the free passes actually represented the first baserunners he had allowed to reach in four appearances. Rodney has been a pleasant surprise for the Padres this season after a nightmarish 2015, and the looks poised to continue delivering saves for his owners for the time being.

Pomeranz evened his record to 3-3 with Friday's win over the Mets, striking out five with three walks in five scoreless innings.

The left-hander gave the Mets lineup fits Friday, but an elevated pitch-count limited him to his second-shortest outing of the season. Regardless, Pomeranz has been a pleasant surprise for the Padres this season, with a 2.12 ERA and an impressive 10.85 K/9 rate, and he will look to keep it rolling Wednesday at the Cubs.
