Roddery Muñoz - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Snagged by Houston The Astros selected Munoz with the eighth pick in the Rule 5 Draft on Wednesday.

Impact Munoz, 25, actually has plenty of MLB experience, unlike most Rule 5 picks. The hard-throwing righty logged 83.2 innings in the majors for Miami in 2024 before spending 2025 in the Cardinals organization, working primarily as a reliever at Triple-A. Munoz had a 3.28 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 76:30 K:BB in 57.2 innings last season at Triple-A.

Let go by Cincinnati The Reds did not tender Munoz a contract for 2026 on Friday, making him a free agent.

Impact The right-hander was claimed off waivers by the Reds in early November, but the organization won't retain him through Friday's non-tender deadline. Munoz pitched in eight games for the Cardinals last year and had an 8.18 ERA and 14:9 K:BB over 11 innings.

Claimed by Reds The Reds claimed Munoz off waivers from the Cardinals on Thursday.

Impact Munoz gave up 10 earned runs in 11 innings with the Cardinals in 2025 but finished the minor-league season with a 3.28 ERA and 1.33 WHIP through 57.2 frames at Memphis. The Reds, evidently intrigued by his Triple-A statline, will now bring the 25-year-old in to add depth to their pitching staff, but because he has no more options remaining, Munoz will need to make the Opening Day roster in order to keep his roster spot.

Summoned from minors The Cardinals recalled Munoz from Triple-A Memphis on Friday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact Munoz has permitted one run with a 7:5 K:BB over five innings with Memphis this season, recording one save in the process. He is taking the roster spot vacated by Chris Roycroft, who has been optioned to Memphis.

APRIL 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Poised for promotion Munoz will be recalled from Triple-A Memphis prior to Friday's game against the Phillies, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Impact It will be the corresponding move after Chris Roycroft was optioned to Memphis on Thursday. Munoz has yielded one run with a 7:5 K:BB over five innings with Memphis this season, recording one save. The righty is making a full-time move to a reliever role in 2025 after spending most of his career in the minors and in 2024 with the Marlins as a starting pitcher.

APRIL 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Moved to Triple-A The Cardinals optioned Munoz to Triple-A Memphis on Friday.

Impact Munoz was solid in his first spring as a Cardinal, giving up four runs (two earned) on four hits and two walks while striking out 10 batters over seven frames. However, he owns a 6.53 ERA over 82.2 career MLB innings, so it makes sense that St. Louis would like to see him sustain success over a longer period before giving him a big-league roster spot. The 24-year-old right-hander is making the switch from starter to reliever this season, which should increase his chances at reaching St. Louis once the Cards begin searching for fresh arms to cycle into their bullpen.

Strong start this spring Munoz has fired three perfect innings with five strikeouts in his first three Grapefruit League appearances.

Impact A waiver claim from the Marlins in November, Munoz's usage this spring suggests the Cardinals might be eyeing him for a relief role. He does have minor-league options remaining, however, which could work against him making the Opening Day roster. Munoz made 17 starts and one relief appearance in 2024 for Miami, collecting a 6.53 ERA and 70:42 K:BB over 82.2 innings.
