Diamondbacks Claim Chris Rodriguez Off Waivers
1 year agoThe Arizona Diamondbacks claimed right-hander Chris Rodriguez off waivers from the Los Angeles Angels on Monday, according to sources. The 25-year-old reliever hasn't pitched in the big leagues since 2021 but has a live arm and a 3.64 ERA in 15 major-league appearances with the Angels, with all of them coming in 2021. The 25-year-old has missed the last two seasons with right-shoulder issues, but the D-backs were willing to take a chance on him as relief depth for the upcoming 2024 campaign. Rodriguez pitched only 2 2/3 innings with Single-A Inland Empire and Triple-A Salt Lake in 2023, allowing four earned runs on six hits while walking three and striking out two.
