Yariel Rodriguez - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

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.

Picks up second save Rodriguez turned in a perfect ninth inning to earn the save in Sunday's 8-6 win over San Francisco.

Impact With Jeff Hoffman having pitched in the Jays' previous two games, it was Rodriguez who got the call in the ninth Sunday. The right-hander made quick work of the Giants, retiring the side on just seven pitches, to extend his scoreless streak to 7.2 innings while picking up his second save of the year. The 28-year-old Rodriguez has impressed in a setup role this season, working to a 2.37 ERA with a 0.91 WHIP and 48:16 K:BB across 49.1 innings.

Rolling into break Rodriguez gave up a hit and a walk while striking out two in a scoreless inning of relief Sunday in a loss to the A's.

Impact The right-hander continues to thrive in a high-leverage role. Over 17.2 innings since the beginning of June, Rodriguez has posted a 2.04 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 18:6 K:BB while collecting two wins, three holds and a save. While the Jays could well bolster their bullpen at the trade deadline, Rodriguez seems locked in as part of the late-inning bridge to closer Jeff Hoffman.
