Grayson Rodriguez Shipped to Angels

The Los Angeles Angels acquired right-hander Grayson Rodriguez (elbow) on Tuesday from the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for power-hitting outfielder Taylor Ward, according to ESPN's Alden Gonzalez. Rodriguez missed the entire 2025 season due to a right-elbow injury, but he is a former top prospect with plenty of long-term upside, and the Angels are desperately hoping he can become a top-of-the-rotation starter they've been seeking for years. The 26-year-old former 11th overall pick in 2018 is under club control for four more years and is expected to be ready for spring training. In his first two big-league seasons with the O's in 2023 and 2024, Rodriguez went 20-8 with a 4.11 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, and 259:78 K:BB in 43 starts. Rodriguez's strikeout upside is obvious, but he also missed the end of the 2024 season with a lat injury, leaving plenty of questions about his durability. He'll be a risk/reward fantasy selection in 2026 drafts.

Grayson Rodriguez to Have Workload Restrictions in 2026?

Baltimore Orioles president of baseball operations Mike Elias hinted on Wednesday at the GM meetings in Las Vegas that right-hander Grayson Rodriguez (elbow) will face workload restrictions next season, according to Jake Rill of MLB.com. "You miss a year and 2 months, we've got to be realistic about that, and it's not something that we're planning around very heavily. But he's a guy that provides a real wild card for us talent-wise," Elias said. Rodriguez was expected to start ramping up his throwing program in October after he missed all of 2025 due to multiple right-elbow issues before having surgery to remove a bone spur in his arm in August. The 25-year-old former 11th overall pick in 2018 is expected to be ready for the start of spring training in mid-February. However, even if he doesn't have any setbacks with his elbow, his innings will be monitored closely in 2026, limiting his fantasy upside.

Grayson Rodriguez has Successful Elbow Surgery

Baltimore Orioles right-hander Grayson Rodriguez (elbow) had successful right-elbow debridement surgery to remove a bone spur on Monday with Dr. Keith Meister in Dallas, according to Danielle Allentuck of the Baltimore Banner. Rodriguez is done for the rest of the 2025 season, but the hope is that he'll be ready to go for spring training next year. The 25-year-old will end up not pitching at all for the Orioles this season, but he's hoping to resume throwing sooner than later in order to have a pretty normal offseason heading into 2026. Rodriguez also dealt with a serious lat/shoulder injury in 2024 and basically missed half the season. The former top prospect has a 25.7% strikeout rate in his two big-league seasons of 43 starts and has teased high-end starting pitcher talent, but fantasy managers will be very hesitant due to mounting injury concerns.

Grayson Rodriguez Expects to Have Normal Offseason Build-Up Before Spring Training

Baltimore Orioles right-hander Grayson Rodriguez (elbow) said on Foul Territory on Tuesday that he will be able to go into the offseason healthy and have a normal build-up going into spring training next year. "In about a month and a half to two months, I should be back to throwing bullpens," Rodriguez said. The 25-year-old will end up not pitching at all for the Orioles in 2025 and will have a right-elbow debridement surgery early next week. Rodriguez has flashed high-end rotation stuff already in his two seasons in the majors, but he will go into 2026 as a serious health risk after missing a good chunk of time in 2024 with arm issues as well. The 25-year-old former 11th overall pick in 2018 will surely come at a discount next year in fantasy drafts and will be a great value pick if he can actually stay healthy. G-Rod has a 4.11 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 25.7% strikeout rate in his 43 MLB starts.

Grayson Rodriguez to Undergo Season-Ending Surgery

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Grayson Rodriguez (elbow) officially won't take the mound during the 2025 season. The O's attempted to avoid surgery, but sadly that is the best route at this point. The right-hander is scheduled to undergo right elbow debridement surgery early next week, according to interim manager Tony Mansolino. The good news is, Rodriguez avoided having Tommy John surgery or anything UCL related. If everything goes well, Rodriguez should be ready for the beginning of the 2026 season. Fantasy managers who were stashing Rodriguez can safely drop him now.

Grayson Rodriguez Considering Having Surgery

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Grayson Rodriguez (elbow) is debating on having surgery, which would likely sideline him for the rest of the season. The right-hander got a second opinion on his elbow and might undergo surgery to remove bone chips from his elbow. The right-hander has been sidelined all season long due to lat and elbow issues. Given the Orioles record, Rodriguez returning this season doesn't necessarily need to happen. The Orioles might decide to go with the surgery and correct the issue ahead of the 2026 season.

Grayson Rodriguez Getting Multiple Opinions on his Elbow

Baltimore Orioles right-hander Grayson Rodriguez (elbow) is getting multiple opinions on his injured right elbow, but there are no further updates, according to Jake Rill of MLB.com. Rodriguez hasn't pitched at all in 2024 due to elbow and lat injuries. The Orioles are doing their due diligence on the 25-year-old, but the longer he goes without throwing, the less likely it is that he'll return to help Baltimore and fantasy managers down the stretch, especially with the team not in the hunt for a playoff spot. In a best-case scenario, Rodriguez probably wouldn't be able to join the big-league rotation for his season debut until late August or even early September. Left-hander Trevor Rogers has been the primary beneficiary in the O's rotation this year with Rodriguez sidelined and has had a nice bounce-back campaign after struggling upon his arrival to Baltimore after a trade from the Marlins last year.

Grayson Rodriguez Undergoing Imaging On Elbow

Baltimore Sun's Matt Weyrich reported Monday that Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Grayson Rodriguez (elbow, lat) is undergoing imaging on his right elbow, per interim manager Tony Mansolino. The 25-year-old has missed the entire 2025 season with an elbow injury suffered in the spring, followed by a lat issue, and now a re-emergence of elbow issues. This is a shame, as the former top prospect made steps forward in 2024. Rodriguez has already dealt with several injuries in his young career, so fantasy managers in re-draft leagues may need to accept that they may not see him pitch during the 2025 fantasy season.

Grayson Rodriguez Being Shut Down Again - Will We See Him Again This Year?

Baltimore Orioles right-hander Grayson Rodriguez (elbow, lat) is being shut down again after his elbow flared up, according to BaltimoreBaseball.com's Rich Dubroff. Interim manager Tony Mansolino said that the team will know more about Rodriguez in a week. Rodriguez has yet to pitch in 2025 after initially injuring his right elbow back in spring training. Then the 25-year-old suffered a setback with his lat while ramping up his throwing program. But now he's dealing with more elbow issues, which makes it reasonable to wonder if we'll even see him on a mound for Baltimore in 2025 at all. Rodriguez has been throwing bullpen sessions since June, but now one has to wonder if he'll need surgery on his arm. A promising 2024 campaign was stalled out by another injury. His inability to join the O's rotation has been one of the many disappointments for the team this year.

Grayson Rodriguez Continues Ramping Up

Baltimore Orioles right-hander Grayson Rodriguez (lat) was diagnosed with a lat strain and has been on the injured list since the start of the season. He threw 25 pitches during a bullpen session on Friday, which included using fastballs and breaking pitches. The next step in his throwing progression should be facing live hitters. According to Jacob Calvin Meyer of the Baltimore Sun, there is no update on Rodriguez as of Wednesday. The 25-year-old will continue to rehab, but it's still unclear when he will make his season debut. Based on this progression, a mid-to-late August return from the injured list seems the most likely. Fantasy managers with an IL spot should continue to stash Rodriguez for now.
