Back in big leagues The Blue Jays selected Rodriguez's contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday.

Impact Toronto dropped Rodriguez from its 40-man roster during the offseason, but he'll make his return to the big club after getting off to a strong start to the season with Buffalo. Over 11 appearances at the Triple-A level spanning 13.1 innings, Rodriguez delivered a 2.63 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 25:9 K:BB. He'll provide the Blue Jays with a multi-inning option out of the bullpen, but his usage may be largely limited to lower-leverage spots.

Expected to be summoned to majors Toronto is planning to call Rodriguez up to the big-league club in the coming days, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Impact Rodriguez was effective while with the Blue Jays last season, posting a 3.08 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 66:34 K:BB while notching three wins, two saves and 14 holds over 73 innings spanning 66 appearances (one start). However, he was released during the offseason, though he ultimately cleared waivers and returned to the organization. Rodriguez has pitched well with Triple-A Buffalo so far in 2026, recording a 2.63 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 25:9 K:BB through 13.2 frames across 11 outings. He's a former starter but seems likely to work out of Toronto's bullpen when he officially joins the team. Rodriguez doesn't have a spot on the 40-man roster, so the Blue Jays will need to make a corresponding move to clear space for him.

Moves to minor-league camp The Blue Jays reassigned Rodriguez to minor-league camp Monday.

Impact Rodriguez submitted a 3.83 ERA and 1.24 WHIP across 87 appearances (22 starts) for Toronto over the past two seasons, but he headed into spring training with a slim chance at winning a spot in Toronto's Opening Day bullpen after he was outrighted off the 40-man roster in December. The 29-year-old righty is expected to work in relief at Triple-A Buffalo to begin the season.

Sticking in bullpen Rodriguez will remain a reliever heading into the 2026 season, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Blue Jays hope Rodriguez can continue to improve his command out of the bullpen after he excelled in a relief role down the stretch of the 2025 regular season. Free passes became an issue for him during the postseason, issuing four walks in 2.2 frames. Rodriguez was booted from the 40-man roster earlier this month, though he'll have a chance to win his spot back if he puts together a strong spring camp.

Designated for assignment The Blue Jays designated Rodriguez for assignment Saturday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Impact Rodriguez's performance improved considerably upon moving to the bullpen in 2025, as he finished the season with a 3.08 ERA and 1.15 WHIP through 73 innings. Despite his strong numbers, the right-hander will now lose his place on Toronto's 40-man roster but is likely to draw some interest on the waiver wire.
