PHOENIX – With Jason Marquis most likely done for the season with a fractured fibula, the Arizona Diamondbacks are once again looking for a starting pitcher to fill out the back end of their rotation.

According to Sports 620 KTAR’s John Gambadoro, Arizona is looking into Houston Astros’ starter Wandy Rodriguez.

Rodriguez has been a respectable pitcher for Houston this season compiling a 8-9 record with a 3.50 ERA on a bad Astros team.

Rodriguez would probably be an even better pitcher than Marquis, but again it would cost Arizona a lot in terms of top prospects, something the organization has already said they wouldn’t part with.
