Latest Fantasy Rumors
Has competition for closer role
PChicago Cubs
August 18, 2021
Rodriguez may yield save opportunities to Codi Heuer going forward after the latter recorded a perfect, two-inning save Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Rodriguez allowed runs in three of his first five appearances after his trade deadline call-up, but he has bounced back with three consecutive scoreless frames and lowered his ERA to 4.50 in six total innings. His 10.5 K/9 certainly fits the closer role more than Heuer's 5.4, but both righties boast impressive stuff. With their focus now exclusively on the future, the Cubs may give both Rodriguez and Heuer opportunities with what few late-game leads they hold for the remainder of 2021.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Rodriguez was a darkhorse candidate for saves last spring, but began the 2022 season in Triple-A. While in the minors, he suffered a strained right elbow last April and the injury shelved him for four-and-a-half months before he was able to return. Rodriguez recorded a save in his first appearance with Chicago in late August, and he'd tally three more over the final month for a career-high four saves in just 14 appearances. However, the 26-year-old has yet to pitch more than 17.2 innings during a season and he has nearly as many walks (21) as he does strikeouts (24) through 31.1 big league innings. Any optimism for a late-inning role to begin 2023 dissipated after he was designated for assignment in January.
