Scouting Report: Endy Rodriguez
Chicago Cubs | 2B
Overall
Summary
Endy Rodriguez, 25-year-old Pittsburgh Pirates catcher and former top prospect, has been recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis after missing nearly a year due to consecutive elbow surgeries (left elbow in late 2023, right elbow in 2025). He replaces Joey Bart on the roster. Rodriguez made an impressive return to the majors on May 14, 2026, going 2-for-4 with 2 RBIs and a double in a 7-2 Pirates victory over Colorado. He had been splitting time between catcher and DH in Triple-A, batting .221/.326/.301 with limited power (1 HR in 34 games). Despite injury setbacks, Rodriguez maintains strong energy and positivity, and the Pirates organization views him as a special talent with significant upside.
