Grayson Rodriguez News
Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Grayson Rodriguez is expected to head to Triple-A to begin the 2023 season. The 23-year-old is one of the top pitching prospects in the league, but the team feels like he needs a little more time in the minors. That could be true considering Rodriguez allowed 15 runs (12 earned) on 17 hits with a 19/7 K/BB ratio across 15 1/3 innings this spring. It shouldn't be too long before Rodriguez makes his way into the O's rotation. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Rodriguez in case he does get called up early this season.
Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher prospect Grayson Rodriguez tossed 2 2/3 innings on Tuesday versus the Minnesota Twins. The big hurler allowed three hits, one run, two walks and recorded four strikeouts on the afternoon. The 23-year-old had a phenomenal 2022 campaign going 6-2 with a 2.62 ERA alongside 109 strikeouts in 75 1/3 innings. With the exception of one outing in High-A and two in Double-A, Rodriguez spent the year in Triple-A. Rodriguez was on the cusp of being called up last season, but suffered a Grade 2 lat strain that sidelined him for most of the second half. Now healthy, Rodriguez is being given every chance to earn a spot in the rotation this spring. Even if he earns a rotation spot, the Orioles could still limit him throughout points of the season, but he will be worth rostering in all formats with his sky high potential and strikeout ability.
Baltimore Orioles general manager Mike Elias said that he expects pitching prospect Grayson Rodriguez to open the 2023 regular season in the starting rotation. Elias also thinks outfield prospect Colton Cowser will make his MLB debut at some point this year. Rodriguez is Baltimore's No. 2 prospect and seventh overall in all of baseball, per MLB Pipeline. It's likely that the 23-year-old right-hander would have debuted last year, but a Grade 2 lat strain set him back. Rodriguez was fantastic once he returned from a three-month absence at Triple-A Norfolk, showing that he doesn't have much left to prove on the farm. He'll likely face workload restrictions in 2023, but Rodriguez should have an immediate fantasy impact in all leagues if he stays healthy.

Baltimore Orioles right-handed pitching prospect Grayson Rodriguez is looking to make a big impact as soon as he makes his MLB debut in 2023. The former first-round pick started 14 games at Triple-A last season, amassing a 2.04 FIP, 12.53 K/9, 2.71 BB/9, and 0.26 HR/9. Rodriguez has an impressive repertoire featuring a fastball around 100 mph, a changeup with late bite, and a slider and curveball that both serve as strong put-away pitches. He seems quite likely to make the Orioles' Opening Day roster and has shown plenty of evidence that he should live up to his hype as one of the club's best prospects. Rodriguez is a very intriguing fantasy option at his current ADP of 194.3.
