Grayson Rodriguez Stats

The Baltimore Orioles protected right-handed pitcher Grayson Rodriguez from the Rule 5 draft by adding him to their 40-man roster on Tuesday. The Orioles also added right-handers Noah Denoyer and Seth Johnson, shortstop Joey Ortiz and left-hander Drew Rom to the 40-man roster. Rodriguez is the No. 4 overall prospect in all of baseball, per MLB Pipeline, while Johnson is the team's No. 10 prospect. Ortiz comes in at No. 17, while Rom is Baltimore's No. 19 prospect. If it wasn't for a Grade 2 lat sprain, Rodriguez most likely would have made his major-league debut in 2022. The 23-year-old right-hander only threw a combined 75 2/3 innings with High-A Aberdeen, Double-A Bowie and Triple-A Norfolk last year, so fantasy managers should expect him to have his workload monitored throughout the year with the Orioles.

Baltimore Orioles pitching prospect Grayson Rodriguez (lat) tossed five shutout innings in his start for Triple-A Norfolk on Friday night. He allowed two hits while walking one and striking out four batters. Rodriguez was activated from the minor league injured list and is recovered from a late strain that he suffered in early June. If he continues to show good results on the farm, there's a good chance he could make his long-awaited MLB debut before the end of the 2022 regular season. The 22-year-old is the No. 4 overall prospect in baseball, per MLB Pipeline, and he should already be stashed in all dynasty/keeper leagues. In his 12 starts for Norfolk in 2022, Rodriguez has gone 6-1 with a 1.92 ERA, 0.82 WHIP, 84 strikeouts and 15 walks in 61 innings pitched.

Baltimore Orioles pitching prospect Grayson Rodriguez (lat) allowed four earned runs on just one hit while walking three and striking out seven in 2 2/3 innings in his minor league rehab start for Double-A Bowie on Sunday. The No. 4 prospect in all of baseball, per MLB Pipeline, will now report to Triple-A Norfolk to rejoin their starting rotation. It remains to be seen if Rodriguez will make his debut to close out the 2022 regular season at the end of September. The 22-year-old right-hander has gone 5-1 this year with a 2.09 ERA, 0.84 WHIP, 80 strikeouts and 14 walks in 56 innings over 11 starts at Norfolk in 2022. The best bet is that the Orioles play it safe and have Rodriguez compete for a starting spot in the rotation out of spring training next year.
