Rodriguez was designated for assignment Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Rodriguez was torched for eight runs over two innings in a relief appearance Sunday in Miami and will now move off Atlanta's 40-man roster and 28-man active rosters. Atlanta selected left-hander Lucas Luetge's contract from Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresponding move.

Atlanta selected Rodriguez's contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old was outrighted to Triple-A in late July after he delivered a scoreless two-thirds of an inning during his lone appearance with Atlanta, but he'll receive another look in the majors down the stretch. Rodgriguez has pitched to a 6.45 ERA across 44.2 innings (23 appearances) at Gwinnett, so he's likely to have a low-leverage role while up in the big leagues.

Rodriguez was designated for assignment Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Atlanta needed to free up a spot on their 40-man roster for Taylor Hearn. Rodriguez has made a total of three appearances in the majors this season between Atlanta and Minnesota but has spent most of the year at the Triple-A level. He'll now go through the waiver process.

Atlanta recalled Rodriguez from Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
With A.J. Minter (shoulder) landing on the 15-day injured list Saturday, Rodriguez will come up from the minors to take Minter's spot in Atlanta's bullpen. The 31-year-old righty holds a 5.79 ERA and 1.43 WHIP through 42 Triple-A innings this season, and he figures to serve as a depth piece while in the majors.

Rodriguez was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
He did not get into a game this time around with the big club after getting recalled Monday. Rodriguez has allowed one run while striking out one and walking two in 2.2 innings across two appearances with the big club this season.

Atlanta recalled Rodriguez from Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Rodriguez will be taking the 26-man active roster spot of rookie right-hander AJ Smith-Shawver, who was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Though Smith-Shawver had been serving as Atlanta's No. 5 starter, Rodriguez is expected to settle into a long-relief/mop-up role out of the bullpen, as Michael Soroka is likely to be called up from Gwinnett when Smith-Shawver's turn in the rotation next comes up Wednesday versus the Twins. After being claimed off waivers from Minnesota in mid-May, Rodriguez previously made one two-inning relief appearance for Atlanta before being optioned to Gwinnett.

Rodriguez was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Rodriguez will head back to Triple-A after being called up Saturday, pitching two scoreless innings while allowing one hit and walk with a strikeout in Sunday's 11-4 win over the Phillies. His return to Gwinnett opens a roster spot for Michael Soroka, who is set to make his season debut with Atlanta on Monday.

Rodriguez was called up from Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Rodriguez will join Atlanta at home after the team claimed him off waivers from Minnesota on May 15. The right-hander has appeared in one major-league contest in 2023, allowing one run on one hit and a walk over two-thirds of an inning against the Cubs on May 12. Rodriguez will slot in as an additional bullpen option for Atlanta, though he carries limited fantasy appeal.
