Frias

Rodríguez, 26, wound up playing a role during the Guardians’ magical stretch run in 2025 as a masher against left-handed pitching. He faced a crowded outfield mix this spring and wound up on the outside looking in. He should get an opportunity at some point during the first half of the 2026 campaign.

As a switch-hitting middle infielder with some power potential, Frías seemed pretty interesting as a teenager a few years back. However, he just hasn’t hit the last two years — he came in at .216/.318/.318 between Double- and Triple-A this season — and he’s playing more third and first than up the middle these days. He’s probably not a future major leaguer.
