Joely Rodriguez Activated, Could See High-Leverage Innings
4 years agoTexas Rangers pitcher Joely Rodriguez(ankle) has been activated from the injured list and is available for Saturday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. The hard-throwing lefty appeared in 12 games last season for the Texas Rangers and produced a 33% strikeout rate with three holds. He'll likely see more high-leverage innings for the club in 2021 with Jose Leclerc and Jonathan Hernandez both out after Tommy John surgery. Veteran reliever Matt Bush (elbow inflammation) also recently joined the pair on the 60-day injured list. Fellow reliever Josh Sborz was sent to the alternate training site to make room on the 26-man roster.
