Jose Rodriguez News: Reinstated, non-tendered by PHI
The Phillies reinstated Rodriguez from the ineligible list and non-tendered him Thursday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
Major League Baseball issued a one-year suspension to Rodriguez last season for violating the league's gambling policy. Now that his suspension has been fulfilled, the Phillies have opted to push the 24-year-old infielder out of the organization and into the open market. Rodriguez played 38 games at Double-A Reading before getting suspended last year, during which he slashed .265/.329/.422 across 164 plate appearances.
