Jorge De La Rosa was tagged for five runs in five innings Friday in a win over the Giants.
De La Rosa gave up nine hits and one walk and only registered one strikeout. It was quite a contrast for the southpaw, as he entered Friday's outing with a 14-inning scoreless streak and 12 scoreless frames at Coors Field this season. Still, the Rockies' offense powered him to the victory. De La Rosa is 5-3 with a 3.58 ERA through nine starts this season, but he needs more strikeouts to be interesting again in fantasy leagues.

Jorge De La Rosa fired seven scoreless innings Sunday in the Rockies' win over the Cardinals.

De La Rosa carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning before allowing a single to David Freese that slipped right under the glove of Jordan Pacheco at first base. De La Rosa wound up yielding only two hits in all while racking up seven strikeouts. The impressive showing lowered his ERA from 3.52 to 2.98. He'll try to keep it going in his next scheduled start against the Giants.

Jorge De La Rosa was lifted after allowing six runs in four innings Tuesday against the Dodgers.

It snaps a streak of four straight quality starts for De La Rosa. Hopefully, it's just a temporary setback. Still, some inconsistency had to be expected in his first year back from Tommy John surgery. He'll get the Yankees at Coors Field next.

Jorge De La Rosa yielded three runs (two earned) in six innings Thursday in a loss to the Diamondbacks.

De La Rosa gave up seven hits and three walks while striking out just one batter. The big blow was a two-run homer by Paul Goldschmidt in the bottom of the fourth. While the southpaw has yet to make it past six innings, he owns a 2.86 ERA and 1.16 WHIP through his first five starts. Pitching in Coors Field doesn't help his fantasy value, but he's looking like a pretty reliable starter in NL-only leagues at the very least. He's slated to get the Dodgers in Los Angeles in his next start.

Jorge De La Rosa pitched six scoreless innings in Sunday's win over the Padres.

With Yorvit Torrealba as his personal catcher, De La Rosa has now posted back-to-back quality starts. He finished with seven strikeouts and just two walks Sunday and has been one of the few reliable starters in the Rockies' rotation. De La Rosa holds a 3.86 ERA through his first three starts this season.

Jorge De La Rosa registered a quality start but was the loser Monday, giving up three runs over six innings against the Giants.

De La Rosa served up a two-out, three-run homer to Hunter Pence in the first inning before settling down for five nice frames after that. He allowed six hits, walked one and struck out three. The left-hander will take a 6.10 ERA into San Diego this weekend.

Jorge De La Rosa allowed four runs in 4 1/3 innings of a no-decision Tuesday against the Brewers.

It wasn't a great first start for the lefty, who is still working to return from Tommy John surgery that forced him to miss most of 2012. He allowed five hits and three walks among his 77 pitches on the evening. The big damage came on a two-run homer by Ryan Braun in the third inning, but the 31-year-old De La Rosa was in trouble a few times over the course of his outing.

Jorge De La Rosa isn't overly concerned with the forearm tightness that caused him to miss Saturday's start.

De La Rosa said the injury was "no big deal," according to Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post. The 31-year-old will pitch two innings in a minor league game Sunday. If that goes well, we'll assume he will still be ready for the start of the season.

Jorge De La Rosa was scratched from his scheduled start Saturday due to forearm tightness.

The 31-year-old lefty is working to round into form after missing most of 2012 due to Tommy John surgery, so this setback isn't ideal for De La Rosa. In 12 2/3 innings this spring, De La Rosa has a 2.84 ERA with 13 strikeouts. When healthy, he is an intriguing late-round flier on draft day.

Jorge De La Rosa had his stuff working Monday, tossing five innings of one-run ball against the Reds.

The left-hander surrendered two hits and two walks while punching out four. De La Rosa got off to a slow start this spring, but he's been much improved his last two times out, permitting two runs over eight frames. He's struck out 13 over 12 2/3 Cactus League innings.

Jorge De La Rosa - S - Rockies

In a rain-shortened effort against the Royals on Friday, Jorge De La Rosa turned in his best effort of the spring, surrendering just one run on one hit over three innings.

De La Rosa retired the final seven hitters he faced and consistently sat at 91-92 with his fastball. His command in particular was noticeably better, carrying over adjustments he made after his last outing. While it's difficult to roster any Rockies starting pitcher in fantasy leagues, De La Rosa has shown the ability to be an impact arm before, and is certainly worth a look in the later rounds.

Jorge De La Rosa yielded two earned runs in two innings Tuesday in a Cactus League loss to the Cubs.

De La Rosa allowed two hits, issued one walk and tallied one strikeout. The 31-year-old left-hander posted a 9.28 ERA in three starts last season after returning from Tommy John surgery and is a major question mark for 2013. He can probably be ignored in mixed fantasy leagues.

Jorge De La Rosa exercised his $11 million player option for 2013.

It was a given after De La Rosa was limited to just three late-season starts following a longer-than-expected comeback from Tommy John surgery. If the left-hander can regain his pre-injury form, it might not end up being a bad deal for the Rockies. Because the player option was exercised, the Rockies now have an $11 million club option on De La Rosa for 2014.

Jorge De La Rosa was tagged for four runs in four innings by the Dodgers in a loss Sunday.

Matt Kemp and Luis Cruz hit two-run homers off him to account for the scoring. De La Rosa ends up 0-2 with a 9.28 ERA in three starts after his late comeback from Tommy John surgery. He's expected to pick up his player option and remain with the Rockies next year.

Jorge De La Rosa - S - Rockies

Jorge De La Rosa struggled in a no-decision against the Cubs on Tuesday night, surrendering four runs (two earned) on five hits over his three innings of work.

De La Rosa has been awful in his two starts since returning from the disabled list, posting a 9.45 ERA and 2.10 WHIP over 6 2/3 innings. But the important thing is that he’s healthy and will have a full offseason to get back into form before 2013. He’ll make one final 2012 start against the Dodgers in Los Angeles on Sunday.
