Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
The right-hander was in the midst of an impressive sophomore campaign when he suffered a lat strain in early August, which sidelined him for the rest of the season. He was fully recovered by November and shouldn't enter spring training with any restrictions. Prior to the injury, Rodriguez had a 13-4 record through 20 starts with a 3.86 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 130:36 K:BB across 116.2 innings. Now entering his third season in the big leagues, the 25-year-old is primed to take a significant step forward in 2025 and could be serving as Baltimore's ace. The injury-shortened season could affect his ceiling if the Orioles decide to exercise caution this season, but Rodriguez should be able to handle a full starter's workload after building up to 165 innings during 2023.

Continues ramping up
Rodriguez (lat) threw 25 pitches -- including fastballs and breaking balls -- in a bullpen session Friday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
Rodriguez reported that he's now thrown a few bullpens at full intensity, though it remains unclear when he'll be able to advance to facing live hitters. The right-hander was diagnosed with a lat strain in late April after he had already begun the campaign on the IL due to right elbow inflammation. It remains unlikely that Rodriguez will be able to rejoin Baltimore's rotation earlier than August.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
2021
2020
2019
Rodriguez's overall numbers were not impressive, but you see a better story once you break down his season. He surprisingly opened the season with Baltimore, but went 2-2 in 10 starts with a 7.35 ERA as he struggled with homers allowing 13 home runs in 45.1 innings around 56 strikeouts and 21 walks. The front office sent him down to AAA Norfolk where he shoved to a 4-0 record with a 1.96 ERA over 8 starts with improved command, which earned him a recall to the big leagues during the All-Star break. From there, all he did was go 5-2 with a 2.58 ERA over his final 13 starts while allowing 3 homers in 76.2 innings with 73 strikeouts and 21 walks. Rodriguez ramped up his fantasy stock with his summer performance, but it comes at a cost as he increased his workload 118% from 2022 to 2023 jumping from 75.2 innings to 165 when factoring in his regular and postseason work. His previous season high was 103 innings in 2021, so keep that in mind as you consider reaching for his upside on draft day.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Pushing for another chance
Rodriguez has a 1.83 ERA and 37.8 percent strikeout rate in six starts for Triple-A Norfolk since being sent down in late May, per Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun, and it's possible the right-hander could rejoin the big-league rotation shortly after the All-Star break.
Analysis
The 23-year-old was called up for his first taste of the big leagues in early April but was demoted after he posted a 7.35 ERA and 1.74 WHIP in 10 starts. Rodriguez illustrated his potential with an 11.1 K/9, but he had difficulty keeping the ball in the park with a 2.6 HR/9. Cole Irvin and Dean Kremer haven't been anything special at the back end of Baltimore's rotation, so Rodriguez's next MLB opportunity could come sooner rather than later.
