Rodriguez signed a minor-league deal with the Padres on Monday, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rodriguez spent most of his 2018 season in Double-A, where he posted a 4.26 ERA with 19 strikeouts in 25.1 frames. He last pitched in the big leagues during the 2015 campaign, and although he found decent success (3.86 ERA over 14 innings), he hasn't managed to return since. After he was released by the Twins in August of last year, Rodriguez figures to serve as organizational depth for San Diego.

Rodriguez was released by Minnesota on Thursday, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rodriguez inked a minor-league deal with the Twins in May, but after accruing a 4.62 ERA and 1.43 WHIP with 19 strikeouts over 25 innings at Double-A Chattanooga, he'll search to latch on elsewhere.

Rodriguez agreed to a minor-league deal with the Braves on Tuesday, Robert Murray of FanRagSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rodriguez is a former second round pick of the Dodgers in 2012 but hasn't pitched in the majors leagues since undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2015. He'll serve as organization bullpen depth.

Rodriguez was released by the Braves on Tuesday, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's David O'Brien reports.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty reliever was acquired from the Dodgers as part of the three-team July 2015 trade that brought outfielder Hector Olivera to the Braves from Los Angeles. He was not out of minor league options, so the move to release him really speaks to what the Braves thought of his ability to help the club this season. The Braves now have three relievers, Kevin Chapman, Chaz Roe and David Hernandez, competing for the final two spots in the bullpen.

Rodriguez appears healthy to begin the spring as he makes his way back from Tommy John surgery in September of 2015, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Braves could use a second lefty in their bullpen behind Ian Krol, and for now Rodriguez appears to be the favorite for the job if he has no setbacks in his recovery. He hasn't pitched since the surgery and has a lot of rust to get rid of, but the 25-year-old's career 9.6 K/9 rate indicates that he can be effective as a LOOGY despite a fastball that rarely touches 90 mph.

Rodriguez avoided arbitration with the Braves by agreeing to a one-year deal on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Rodriguez missed the entire 2016 season due to Tommy John surgery in September 2015. He should certainly factor into Atlanta's left-handed depth in the bullpen in 2017, but how big of a factor depends on when he can return to the mound and if he's able to show the same lefty-killing stuff he showed before the surgery with the Dodgers.

Rodriguez was placed on the 60-day DL on Saturday, David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

The move is just a roster formality, as Rodriguez has already been ruled out for the entire 2016 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery in late September.

Rodriguez (elbow) will miss the entirety of the 2016 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery recently, David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rodriguez's surgery went unannounced for a little while, but the young hurler has now been ruled out for next season already. When healthy, Rodriguez could be an option for the Braves' starting rotation, but it's unclear how long it will be before that's the case.

Rodriguez (elbow) is not expected to return this season, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Part of the three-team deal with Miami and Los Angeles that netted the Braves Hector Olivera, Rodriguez has been out since late May due to elbow issues and the Braves are no longer expecting him back this season. Rodriguez has one more year left before he becomes arb-eligible.

Rodriguez will undergo surgery for loose bodies in the back of his elbow, and will miss 8-to-10 weeks, Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register reports. It appeared that Rodriguez was set to rejoin the Dodgers in the near future, but something more has been discovered in his elbow that will require a procedure. The newest issue will sideline him at least two months, holding him out for most, if not all of the remainder of the 2015 season.
