Rodriguez has posted a .301/.384/.362 slash line through 229 at-bats for Double-A Biloxi this season. Given that Rodriguez is 23 years old, isn't a top prospect, and has yet to homer this season or more than three times in any of his minor-league campaigns, it seems like a stretch that he'd have any meaningful time with the Brewers this season, plus the major-league squad already has a crowded outfield to boot. However, Rodriguez does hold a .294 average over six minor-league seasons, so he could get a look at some point, or perhaps be included as a minor trade chip should the Brewers hit the gas pedal on a playoff push and require more experienced talent.

Rodriguez was added to the Brewers' 60-man player pool Friday. The 19-year-old outfielder has yet to advance beyond rookie ball, so he almost certainly won't be considered for a big-league callup. Joining the player pool will give him the opportunity to be in the best possible spot for his development over the final few weeks of the season as he works out at the team's alternate training site, however.
