Zach Agnos allowed just one hit in five scoreless innings on Thursday in his first career start as the Diamondbacks defeated the Rockies, 2-1.

Fantasy Impact: Agnos gave the Rockies much more than anticipated on Thursday as he was supposed to serve as the opener for a bullpen day. He threw 71 pitches in his five innings, allowing just a walk to Adrian Del Castillo and a single to Ketel Marte - both in the third inning. The righthander struck out four. Agnos has a 3.78 ERA in five appearances this month, limiting opponents to just a .186 average in 16.2 innings. Overall, he has a 4.76 ERA in 14 games this season. It's unclear what his role will be moving forward, but with Chase Dollander on the IL and a couple others in the rotation struggling, it may lead to another start or two for Agnos to see if it sticks.

Eduardo Rodriguez pitched seven scoreless innings on Thursday, allowing just four hits and one walk, while striking out four, in a 2-1 Diamondbacks' win over the Rockies.

Fantasy Impact: Rodriguez allowed three singles and a double on the night and also made a play at the plate in the fifth by nabbing Ezequiel Tovar attempting to score on a weak grounder. Rodriguez has been sensational in four starts this month, pitching to a 1.30 ERA with a 21:7 K:BB ratio in 27.2 innings. Overall, he is 4-1 with a 2.24 ERA - sixth-best in the National League. He's scheduled for a road start in San Francisco on Tuesday.
