Eduardo Rodriguez News
The Detroit Tigers and left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez's agent remained in talks on Friday about potentially restructuring his client's contract, according to a source. Rodriguez has a Saturday deadline to exercise his opt-out clause for the 2024 season. E-Rod turned down a midseason trade to the Los Angeles Dodgers and clearly would prefer to keep his family in Detroit, so the two sides could work something out this weekend. If he chooses to opt out of the remaining three years and $49 million left on his contract with the team, the 30-year-old southpaw would surely be able to land more on the open market as a coveted starting pitcher. The Venezuelan hurler went 13-9 on a bad Tigers team in 2023 with a career-best 3.30 ERA (3.66 FIP), 1.15 WHIP, 48 walks and 143 strikeouts in 152 2/3 frames over 26 starts in his second year with the Tigers.
Detroit Tigers left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez (back), who was removed from his last start with a left-back spasm, will throw a bullpen session on Friday to make sure he can start on Sunday against the Oakland Athletics. "We're not anticipating any problems," manager A.J. Hinch said. While pitching through injury on Sept. 18 against the first-place Los Angeles Dodgers, E-Rod allowed five earned runs on five hits (two homers) while walking one and striking out one in just three innings of work. The 30-year-old Venezuelan southpaw will be a little more risky in fantasy coming off the injury, but managers cannot pass up the excellent matchup against the rebuilding A's if they are still vying for a fantasy title.
Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez (shoulder) is the probable starter for Sunday against the Oakland Athletics. Rodriguez left Monday's start early, but he appears ready to take the rubber at least once more this season. It's an enticing matchup for Rodriguez and his fantasy managers, but the Tigers could decide to play it safe with the lefty and pull him at the first sign of any discomfort.

The 2020 season was tragic for Boston Red Sox starting pitcherEduardo Rodriguez, as he missed the entire 60-game season due to complications from COVID-19. Fortunately, he has fully recovered and will be ready for the 2021 season. While going a full year without pitching in games certainly makes him very hard to project, we do know that there is upside here. E-Rod has always been able to generate strikeouts (23.8% strikeout rate), and in 2019 he took a big step forward in preventing hard contact, as he posted a career-high 48.5% ground-ball rate. He has always had a little trouble with his command (8.3% career walk rate, 40.8% career strike rate), but if he can ever make improvements in that area, there is real room for overall growth. While the range of outcomes is wide for Rodriguez in 2021, he has looked great in spring training and was recently named the Red Sox's opening day starter. With a 203 ADP, he has a chance to be a real steal in that range.
