Elvin Rodriguez Designated For Assignment
1 year agoTampa Bay Rays pitcher Elvin Rodriguez has been designated for assignment by the organization on Saturday. According to Marc Topkin, Rodriguez was granted his release from the team to pursue a more lucrative opportunity in Japan. The 25-year-old tossed 3 1/3 hitless frames with five strikeouts in his season debut against the Atlanta Braves. He'll certainly draw interest from MLB teams if he keeps pitching like that in Japan. In a corresponding move, right-hander Javy Guerra has been recalled to take the spot on the active roster.
