Orioles' Wandy Rodriguez: Opts out of minor league contract
Wandy Rodriguez opted out of a minor league deal with Baltimore on Wednesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com reports.Rodriguez signed a minor league contract with the Baltimore Orioles in April but never took the hill for an affiliate. With 1,500 major league innings pitched under his belt, it seems likely the veteran lefty will get picked up by another organization in need of pitching depth, although he'll likely have to settle for another minor league deal.

Wandy Rodriguez has been informed he will not make the Houston Astros' Opening Day roster, Jose de Jesus Ortiz of the Houston Chronicle reports.Rodriguez has not been released by the Astros yet, but he will likely exercise an opt-out clause in his contract. Rodriguez had a 4.90 ERA in 86.1 innings for the Rangers and last posted an ERA below 4.00 in 2013. We'll see if there are any teams out there that still believe he has any magic left, but there's usually some team out there that could use another veteran arm.

Astros' Wandy Rodriguez: Decision looming on roster status
Houston will have to make a decision whether Wandy Rodriguez will make the Opening Day roster by the end of the week, as the opt-out date of his minor league deal is approaching, Evan Drellich of the Houston Chronicle reports.Rodriguez allowed one run on two hits with no walks and five strikeouts over four Grapefruit League innings Sunday against the Phillies, improving his spring ERA to 2.25 in four appearances (two starts).

Astros' Wandy Rodriguez: Sharp against St. Louis on Friday
Wandy Rodriguez retired six of the seven batters he faced Friday - including four via strikeout - to earn a Grapefruit League win against St. Louis."Today, guys, I used a lot of my fastball and tried to locate it," Rodriguez said. "I used only two or three curveballs today, but threw a lot of fastballs and changeups." The veteran southpaw is back with the team he made his big league debut with in 2005, but he'll need to string together several performances like this one to make the Houston Astros' Opening Day roster.

Astros' Wandy Rodriguez: Will start Friday against St. Louis
Wandy Rodriguez will start the Houston Astros' second Grapefruit League contest Friday against St. Louis, Jose de Jesus Ortiz of the Houston Chronicle reports.The 37-year-old southpaw will need a standout camp with the Astros to make the Opening Day roster, as Dallas Keuchel, Lance McCullers, Collin McHugh, Scott Feldman and Doug Fister are the favorites to open 2016 in Houston's starting rotation. There's also Mike Fiers, who made 30 starts between Milwaukee and Houston last year. Rodriguez made 17 appearances (15 starts) with Texas last season, going 4-3 with an unimpressive 4.61 ERA and 1.40 WHIP over 86.1 innings.

Astros' Wandy Rodriguez: Rejoining former team
Wandy Rodriguez will rejoin the Houston Astros on a minor league contract, MLB.com's Brian McTaggart reports.Rodriguez previously played for the Astros from 2005 to 2012, making 227 of his 275 career appearances for the organization that he originally came up with. He's no lock to make the Opening Day roster, as the team has obviously made a ton of progress since the lefty was traded as part of a rebuild. The 37-year-old Rodriguez will likely just provide depth in case the Houston rotation suffers a string of injuries, but his contract does include an invitation to big-league spring training, according to ESPN's Enrique Rojas.
