Impact Rodriguez will likely stay stretched out during spring training, but he looks to be sixth on the rotation depth chart for Toronto right now. The Blue Jays do have a stretch in April with 13 games without an day off, presenting an opportunity for Rodriguez to get a spot start if the club wants to use him in a swingman role. Rodriguez made 21 starts for Toronto in 2024, posting a 4.47 ERA and 85:40 K:BB over 86.2 innings.
