AI Summary

The Blue Jays recalled right-handed pitcher Yariel Rodriguez from Triple-A Buffalo after he posted strong numbers in the minors.

Rodriguez was waived in the offseason to make room for Cody Ponce, but was unclaimed on waivers and returned to the Blue Jays organization. He also didn't look great in spring training, but he has posted a 2.63 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, and 25/9 K/BB ratio in 13 2/3 innings at Triple-A. Our guess if he will fill the bulk relief role that Lauer had been used in. That makes him intriguing as a matchup-based add in deeper formats.
