Inks MiLB deal Rodriguez signed a minor-league contract with the Nationals on Monday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Rodriguez appeared in 14 games (one start) with Washington in 2021, struggling to a 5.92 ERA and 1.73 WHIP with a 20:17 K:BB across 24.1 innings prior to being designated for assignment and ultimately outrighted to Triple-A Rochester in August. He'll get another chance with the club in 2022 but will need to earn his way back onto the big-league roster.

Outrighted to Triple-A Rodriguez cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Rochester on Thursday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Rodriguez was designated for assignment Tuesday after he posted a 9.24 ERA and 1.97 WHIP in 12.2 innings across eight appearances since the All-Star break. The right-hander hasn't fared much better in the minors, as he has a 7.56 ERA and 1.79 WHIP in 16.2 innings across six appearances (five starts) at Triple-A Rochester this year, but he'll remain in the organization after he passed through waivers.

Designated for assignment Rodriguez was designated for assignment by Washington on Tuesday, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

Impact Rodriguez has struggled in August, allowing home runs in three of his five appearances while posting a 9.45 ERA across 6.2 innings. It's possible he attracts interest on waivers from teams in need of relief help, but it would not be at all surprising if he goes unclaimed given his recent struggles.

Effectively wild as long reliever Rodriguez has made four appearances in July, posting a 1.59 ERA over 5.2 innings with a 10:6 K:BB.

Impact The 27-year-old has had trouble finding the plate consistently throughout his career, so his ugly 19.6 percent walk rate in the majors this year is no surprise, but so far Rodriguez's 27.5 percent strikeout rate and .231 BABIP have limited the damage from the free passes. He should remain in a low-leverage long relief role in the second half.

Four innings of one hit ball Rodriguez started Game 2 of Saturday's 2-1 doubleheader loss to San Francisco, allowing no runs on one hit and three walks with two strikeouts in four innings. He received a no-dec...

Impact Making his first start of 2021 and his first appearance since 2019, Rodriguez engaged in an abbreviated pitcher's duel with the Giants bullpen as the game was tied 0-0 after seven innings. The successful outing may have earned Rodriguez another start with Stephen Strasburg still injured despite being the 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader.

Contract purchased by Nats Rodriguez's contract was selected from Triple-A Rochester and he could start Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Giants.

Impact He had been starting at Triple-A and is due to pitch, so even if he doesn't start Game 2, he figures to log multiple innings in some capacity during the twin bill. Rodriguez has a 7.56 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and 19:13 K:BB in 16.2 innings at Triple-A.

Hitting free agency Rodriguez (shoulder) was non-tendered by the Indians on Wednesday.

Impact The 27-year-old was dealing with lower back pain when he reported to summer camp in July and eventually landed on the 45-day injured list with a shoulder sprain. Rodriguez had a 4.63 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 33:21 K:BB over 46.2 innings during 2019 but has dealt with numerous injuries over the past couple years.
