Delgado was placed on the 10-day disabled list prior to Sunday's game with right elbow inflammation.

EDGE Analysis

No elbow injury is minor, particularly when the details include inflammation in the throwing arm. Delgado pitched during Saturday night's game against the Braves, taking the loss after allowing four runs off three hits and a walk while collecting just two outs. There has yet to be any information regarding the severity of Delgado's injury, but the 27-year-old looks to be on the shelf for an extended period of time.

Delgado was charged with four runs on three hits and a walk while recording two outs to take his second loss of the season in Saturday's 8-5 loss to the Braves.

EDGE Analysis

Tasked with protecting a 3-2 lead heading into the top of the sixth inning, Delgado led off the frame by allowing two infield singles before retiring the next two batters. After walking Dansby Swanson to load the bases, Delgado surrendered a three-run double to pinch-hitter Lane Adams before leaving the contest. Diamondbacks reliever Andrew Chafin subsequently allowed Adams to come around and score, saddling Delgado with his most earned runs in an appearance since June 9, when he had been working as a starter. Delgado has generally been a reliable fixture in both the rotation and bullpen this season, but now that he's locked into relief duty going forward, his fantasy ceiling is considerably lower.

Delgado gave up five runs (one earned) on four hits and two walks across one inning in Thursday's 10-4 loss to the Cardinals. He struck out two batters.

EDGE Analysis

Fortunately, Delgado was able to escape the appearance without any serious damage to his ERA, as a throwing error by Jake Lamb to lead off the inning rendered most of runs he allowed unearned. Nonetheless, it's difficult to put a positive spin on things for Delgado, who allowed four of the first five batters in the eighth inning to reach base and yielded two extra-base hits. Fifth starter Patrick Corbin likely bought himself some extra time in the Diamondbacks' rotation by delivering a quality start Thursday, so Delgado should continue to serve in long relief until further notice.

Delgado pitched well over five innings Sunday, giving up no runs on four hits while striking out four and walking one against the Phillies. He received a no-decision in a 2-1 extra-innings victory.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old held his own in the spot start, improving his ERA to 3.11 in 56.2 innings this year. Delgado received the start to allow an extra day of rest for Taijuan Walker, so he'll more than likely head back to the Arizona bullpen as a long reliever until the team requires another spot start.

Updating an earlier report, Delgado was confirmed as the starting pitcher for Sunday's game against the Phillies, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Delgado will slide into the starting rotation for a spot start as manager Torey Lovullo looks to give Taijuan Walker some extra rest by skipping his next turn in the rotation. Delgado has done well in four starts for the Diamondbacks this season, compiling a 3.15 ERA and 20:4 K:BB across 20 innings. The 27-year-old will likely shift back to a long relief role following the spot start, though he'll remain an option to start should another opportunity arise down the road.

Delgado will start Monday's game against the Phillies, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Torey Lovullo wanted to give Taijuan Walker some extra rest, so Delgado will fill in for him as the Diamondbacks wrap up a four-game series with the Phillies. Delgado has held his own in four starts for the Diamondbacks this season, compiling a 3.15 ERA and 20:4 K:BB across 20 innings of work. He'll likely head back to a long relief role following Monday's spot start.

Delgado covered two innings in Wednesday's 16-5 win over the Rockies, conceding one run on one hit and striking out three.

EDGE Analysis

Aside from allowing a triple to Raimel Tapia, who eventually came around to score, Delgado made it through the Coors Field outing with relative ease. The right-hander has made two appearances out of the bullpen since being dropped from a starting role, and it appears he'll continue to work in long relief until either Zack Godley or Patrick Corbin proves ill-suited for rotation duty.

Delgado will move back to the bullpen beginning with Wednesday's game against the Tigers, ArizonaSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Taijuan Walker (finger) cleared to come off the disabled list to start Wednesday, manager Torey Lovullo made the tough choice to remove Delgado from his starting role, allowing Patrick Corbin and Zack Godley to maintain spots in the rotation. After excelling in relief earlier in the season, Delgado transitioned well to starting duty in late May despite not being fully stretched out, turning in a 3.15 ERA and 1.25 WHIP while striking out 20 batters in 20 innings over four outings. He'll lose much of his fantasy value now that his appearances will be shorter in length and more sporadic, but Delgado seems to have at least established himself as the top alternative if another injury should strike the rotation at some point.

Delgado was charged with four runs on seven hits and two walks over five innings and took a no decision in Friday's 8-6 loss to the Brewers. He struck out five batters in the outing.

EDGE Analysis

After Delgado turned in a 1.80 ERA and 1.07 WHIP over his prior three starts since moving from a long-relief role to the starting staff, manager Torey Lovullo announced that the right-hander would stick in the rotation even after Taijuan Walker (finger) returns from the disabled list. Delgado didn't exactly reward Lovullo's faith in him Friday, but the 27-year-old admirably overcame a rough first inning in which he allowed three runs to give up only one run on four hits the rest of the way. It will probably take a more significant implosion before Delgado's rotation spot is in jeopardy, and he'll have a great opportunity to boost his job security during his next outing, which is expected to come next weekend against the cellar-dwelling Phillies.

Manager Torey Lovullo said that Delgado will remain in the rotation, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Delgado has been strong in all three of his starts this season, posting a 1.80 ERA while striking out a batter per inning in that span. That instilled enough confidence in the Diamondbacks that they'll keep him in the rotation even after Taijuan Walker (finger) returns from the disabled list. This likely means that Zach Godley will get booted from the rotation once Walker returns, although more information should come forth once Walker gets closer to rejoining the rotation. Delgado is currently lined up to make his next start Friday against Zach Davies and the Brewers.
