Diamondbacks' Rubby De La Rosa: Played catch for first time on Monday
De La Rosa was scheduled to play catch on Monday for the first time since landing on the disabled list, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.
Analysis:
De La Rosa has been on the disabled list since May 27 due to right elbow inflammation. His most recent MRI revealed that his ligament was stretched in his pitching arm. The fact that he has begun to play catch is a good first step in his rehabilitation. The Diamondbacks are still hoping he'll be able to return in August or early September.
