PHOENIX -- Two days after D-backs manager Chip Hale said starter Rubby De La Rosa would be shut down, it turns out the right-hander may pitch again this season.
De La Rosa (right elbow inflammation) threw a bullpen session on Saturday. He will either throw another one next week or pitch in a simulated game. If he feels well after that, he may pitch in another Major League game before the end of the season.
"It's not that bad, maybe like some people think, but it's bad because I don't have my control," De La Rosa said.
