Padres Expected to Promote Bradgley Rodriguez to Major Leagues
The San Diego Padres are expected to promote relief pitching prospect Bradgley Rodriguez to the major leagues prior to their contest on Friday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Rodriguez is currently considered the No. 14-ranked prospect in the system on MLB.com. Rodriguez has spent time with Double-A this season and will skip Triple-A en route to joining San Diego. Through 22 1/3 innings at Double-A San Antonio this season, the right-hander has posted a 3.22 ERA with a stellar 0.90 WHIP. Across 22 1/3 innings, Rodriguez has struck out 31 batters and served up just five walks. In 2024, Rodriguez spent most of his time with High-A, where he posted a 2.59 ERA with a 1.25 WHIP. Fantasy managers should expect Rodriguez to have a middle-relief role in the bullpen. He will likely not contend for save opportunities with Robert Suarez as the clear ninth-inning option, and Jason Adam and Jeremiah Estrada as the top setup options.
