2024 Fantasy Outlook
Rodriguez will turn 27 years old in March and has never pitched in affiliated ball, and he didn't pitch anywhere at all in 2023. Ordinarily, such a player wouldn't be worth a second thought, but the Cuban right-hander's situation is unique. After spending six seasons in his home country as a starter, Rodriguez moved to Japan in 2020 and converted to relief, producing a 3.03 ERA across three seasons. He pitched for Cuba at the 2023 World Baseball Classic, allowing two runs while striking out 10 in 7.1 innings, but that was his only official game action of the season, as he spent the remainder of the year working out in the Dominican Republic while going through the legal process that would allow him to defect from Cuba and pitch stateside. That rustiness may give MLB clubs pause, as might his 10.4% walk rate in Japan, though it's worth noting that he cut that figure to 8.2% in his final season, a year in which he recorded a 1.15 ERA. Rodriguez didn't earn any saves in Japan, so the odds of him closing in America any time soon are slim, but he should be able to help a big-league bullpen. Read Past Outlooks
Tosses 4.1 innings
Rodriguez allowed a run on three hits and one walk over 4.1 innings in a no-decision Sunday. He struck out two during the win over St. Louis.
ANALYSIS
Rodriguez worked through four shutout frames before the Cardinals tallied a run in the fifth inning. He's thrown fewer than six innings in 11 consecutive appearances, registering a 4.75 ERA while going 0-3 over 47.1 frames during that span. Rodriguez owns a 4.29 ERA with a 77:35 K:BB through 77.2 innings on the year. His next start is lined up to be in Tampa Bay.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Agrees to terms with Blue Jays
Rodriguez has agreed to terms with the Blue Jays on a contract, Francys Romero of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The details of the deal are not known at this time, but Romero says Rodriguez will take a physical in the coming days in Toronto ahead of the contract becoming official. Rodriguez had reportedly been dealing with some immigration issues which had delayed his agreement with the Blue Jays, but evidently those problems have been ironed out. The 26-year-old last pitched in 2022, posting a 1.15 ERA and 60:18 K:BB over 54.2 innings with the Chunichi Dragons of Japan's Central League. It's not clear whether the Jays plan to use him as a starter or reliever.
