The Minnesota Twins re-signed right-hander Dereck Rodriguez to a minor-league deal on Thursday, according to his agent Gavin Kahn. Rodriguez appeared in 49 games (35 starts) for the San Francisco Giants in his first two major-league seasons in 2018 and 2019, but since then he's made just four relief appearances (two for the Twins in 2022) and has allowed 11 runs (nine earned) on 17 hits (five home runs) while walking seven and striking out six in 11 2/3 innings. The 30-year-old had a 4.75 ERA and 92 strikeouts in 94 2/3 innings at Triple-A St. Paul in 2022. Rodriguez will provide starting and relief depth for the Twins again in 2023 and will likely begin in the minors.
Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Dereck Rodriguez was hit hard in Monday's start against the Los Angeles Dodgers in Cactus League play. The 28-year-old gave up two runs on four hits with one strikeout over two innings of work. He allowed a pair of singles in the first frame before surrendering a double and a home run to DJ Peters in the second inning. D-Rod signed a minor league contract with the Rockies during the offseason after spending time with the San Francisco Giants and the Detroit Tigers during the 2020 campaign. He impressed during his rookie season with the Giants back in 2018 but has struggled to make much of an impact since then. He's sporting a 12-15 record, 4.27 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 162:75 K:BB ratio over 221 1/3 career innings. His profile probably won't play well at Coors Field, and he is a long shot to make the Rockies Opening Day roster.
The Colorado Rockies signed right-hander Dereck Rodriguez to a minor league deal on Monday with an invitation to spring training. The 28-year-old is the son of Hall of Fame catcher Ivan Rodriguez. He made 51 appearances over three seasons with the Giants and went 12-15 with a 4.27 ERA before he was designated for assignment by San Francisco on Aug. 26. Rodriguez was then claimed by the Tigers before recently becoming a free agent. He was originally a sixth-round pick by the Twins in 2011. Rodriguez is unlikely to become much of a fantasy commodity, especially with the move to hitter-friendly Coors Field.
