Rodriguez

Rodriguez represents an intriguing low-risk gamble for the rebuilding White Sox as a relief project. The hard-throwing 26-year-old righty spent last year in Arizona’s minor-league system, making 36 relief appearances in the upper minors. He’s struggled to stay healthy since breaking into the majors with the Angels back in 2021 when he looked like an impact reliever.

Robinson will start out the regular season within the D-backs minor league organization where he spent most of his time last season at Single-A Visalia. Robinson missed the first three seasons of his career due to legal issues and was once considered a top prospect for Arizona. At 23 years old, he’ll look to continue to develop his power at the plate and potentially become a 20 HR, 20 stolen base type of player.

The D’Backs claimed the 25-year-old hurler off of waivers from the Angels back in October. Rodriguez hasn’t pitched in the big leagues since the 2021 season due to continued issues with his surgically-repaired right shoulder. If he’s able to get himself right though, he could wind up being a valuable addition to the club’s bullpen.

Rodriguez hasn’t pitched in the majors since the 2021 campaign due to ongoing issues in his surgically-repaired right shoulder. The hard-throwing 25-year-old righty represents a worthwhile lottery ticket for the Diamondbacks as he possesses the raw stuff required to contribute in the majors, if he can manages to stay healthy.

Ugh. The 25-year-old hurler has missed the entire season-to-date due to shoulder issues, and it sounds like he’s still experiencing major problems. He was finally cleared to start pitching in minor league games in early September, but that didn’t last long before he was shut down once more. At this stage, there’s no clear timeline for when — or if — he’ll be able to return to the mound.

The procedural move opens up a spot on the Angels’ 40-man roster for top prospect Zach Neto to get the call to the majors. Rodriguez was shut down from throwing earlier this month after experiencing renewed soreness in his surgically-repaired right shoulder. There is no timetable for his return.

Ugh. Rodriguez had been working his way back from surgery to repair a torn capsule in his right shoulder. He was throwing to live hitters but will slow down to just throwing bullpen sessions. There is no timetable for his return.

Rodriguez is working his way back from surgery to repair a torn capsule in his right shoulder. He progressed to facing hitters for the first time earlier this month and will likely head out on a minor league rehab assignment soon.

Rodriguez faced hitters for the first time since the 2021 season as he continues to work his way back from right shoulder surgery. The 24-year-old figures to be an option for the Angels sometime in April or May.

Rodriguez will face hitters for the first time since the 2021 campaign as he continues his recovery from surgery to repair a torn capsule in his right shoulder. The 24-year-old righty is expected to open the regular season on the injured list, but could be an option for the Angels’ bullpen at some point in April or May.
