Rodriguez has only allowed one hit after throwing a total of 2.1 innings in two games this May.

29 games into the season, Rodriguez has established himself as one of Oakland's top bullpen options. Among their relievers, he has thrown the most innings (17.1) and has a dominant ERA of 1.04. Despite a mediocre BB/9 of 3.12, Rodriguez's WHIP sits at 0.92. However, it's worth noting that after appearing in 12 games this season, Rodriguez's K/9 is 7.79, which is respectable, but a considerable drop from 2015's end result of 9.97 K/9.
