Fernando Rodney Stats

Right-handed reliever Fernando Rodney is attempting to make it back into the Major Leagues, this time as a member of the Houston Astros, who have assigned him to their alternate training site after signing him to a contract. At 43 years old, should Rodney make the Astros bullpen, he would appear for his 12th different big league club. After splitting 2019 between the Oakland As and Washington Nationals and producing a 5.66 ERA and poor 13.3% walk rate in 47.2 innings, Rodney doesnt figure to be a season-long fantasy contributor barring significant blows to the current Houston bullpen hierarchy.

Four teams have checked in on relief pitcher Fernando Rodney. His overall numbers in 2019 don't look good (5.66 ERA, 1.62 WHIP, 5.3 BB/9), but most of the damage against him came in his 17 relief outings with the A's. Rodney actually pitched much better with the Nationals (4.05 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, two saves) in 38 outings and helped them on their World Series run. The 42-year-old will likely have to settle for a minor league deal somewhere, though, and he's highly unlikely to land somewhere that will give him the outright closing job in the ninth inning.

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Fernando Rodney has been recalled from the minors on Monday. Rodney is expected to join the team prior to Tuesday's game against the Miami Marlins. He was released by the Oakland Athletics after posting a 9.42 ERA in 17 relief appearances. The Nationals are desperate for relief help, but Rodney hasn't done much to make him a valuable asset. He belongs on the waiver wire until he can prove his value.
