The Pirates signed Rodriguez to a minor-league contract Monday that includes an invitation to spring training, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Rodriguez, 27, appeared in 30 games at the major-league level from 2022-24 posting an 8.17 ERA and 33:19 K:BB over 36.1 innings. The righty reliever boasts a 28.3 percent strikeout rate during his time at the Triple-A level, so he has some bat-missing ability if he can just throw enough strikes.

The Blue Jays outrighted Rodriguez (undisclosed) to Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday. Rodriguez is no longer on the 40-man roster but will remain in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. The right-handed reliever hasn't pitched for Buffalo for several weeks due to an undisclosed injury and remains on the Triple-A club's 7-day injured list.

The Blue Jays designated Rodriguez (undisclosed) for assignment Thursday. Rodriguez has been held out of action at Triple-A Buffalo since August due to an unspecified injury, and it remains unknown when he'll be cleared to return to games. While he waits to return, his spot on Toronto's 40-man roster will be given to Brett de Geus, who was claimed off waivers from Miami on Thursday.

Triple-A Buffalo placed Rodriguez on its 7-day injured list Friday with an unspecified injury. The Blue Jays optioned Rodriguez to Buffalo on Aug. 11, but he didn't make any appearances for the Triple-A club before being deactivated. If his injury proves to be a season-ending concern, the Blue Jays could rescind Rodriguez's option to Triple-A and place him on the major-league 60-day IL at some point to open up an extra spot on the 40-man roster.

The Blue Jays optioned Rodriguez to Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday. He'll head back to the minors to reopen a spot in the bullpen for right-hander Genesis Cabrera (personal), who was reinstated from the paternity list. After being called up from Triple-A on July 30, Rodriguez made three relief appearances for Toronto, giving up six runs (five earned) on five hits and two walks while striking out four over three innings.
