Ronny Rodriguez: Heading to CPBL
Rodriguez signed a contract with the Wei Chuan Dragons of the Chinese Professional Baseball League on Wednesday.
Rodriguez spent the 2021 campaign in Nippon Professional Baseball in Japan, and he'll remain overseas after hitting .197/.216/.426 for the Nippon Ham Fighters. He last saw big-league action with Detroit in 2019 and posted a .690 OPS in 84 games.

Ronny Rodriguez: Parts ways with Milwaukee
Rodriguez elected free agency Monday.
Rodriguez failed to see any game action with the Brewers in 2020 before he was cast off the 40-man roster in mid-September. He'll likely have to settle for a minor-league deal as he heads to the open market this winter.

Brewers' Ronny Rodriguez: Sticking in organization
The Brewers outrighted Rodriguez to their alternate training site Wednesday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Rodriguez went unclaimed off waivers after being designated for assignment by the Brewers earlier this week. He'll report to the Brewers' alternate training site in Appleton and remain on hand as organizational infield depth.

Brewers' Ronny Rodriguez: Cast off 40-man roster
The Brewers designated Rodriguez for assignment Monday.
Rodriguez's removal from the 40-man roster clears room for reliever Ray Black (shoulder), who was reinstated from the 45-day injured list ahead of Monday's doubleheader with the Cardinals. The 28-year-old infielder competed for a reserve role with the big club in summer camp, but he failed to crack the Brewers' Opening Day roster and has spent the entire 2020 season at the team's alternate training site.

Brewers' Ronny Rodriguez: Sent to San Antonio
Rodriguez was optioned to Triple-A San Antonio on Wednesday.
Rodriguez was competing for a utility role in camp but never seemed like a favorite to win one, as he owns a poor .221/.254/.396 slash line in 500 career appearances at the big-league level. He could still push for a bench spot later this season.

Brewers' Ronny Rodriguez: Still in mix for utility spot
Rodriguez went 2-for-3 with two RBI in Tuesday's spring game against the Royals.
Rodriguez remains in the mix for a utility spot on the Brewers' Opening Day roster, and the multi-hit game came at the right time, as he had not recorded even one hit in a game since Feb. 24. There are a number of players competing with Rodriguez for spots, so a strong finish to the exhibition season would go a long way in securing one.

Brewers' Ronny Rodriguez: Claimed by Brewers
Rodriguez was claimed off waivers by the Brewers on Monday.
Rodriguez's primary value in 84 games for the Tigers last season came through playing five different positions, as he offered very little at the plate, hitting just .221/.252/.438. He does have enough power to potentially be useful if he wins a bench role, though he may not get on base often enough to win a roster spot, depending on what other moves the Brewers make this winter.

Tigers' Ronny Rodriguez: Pops 14th home run
Rodriguez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the White Sox.
Rodriguez waited for the last inning of the season to hit his 14th home run of the year. The 27-year-old also struck out 27.9 percent of the time this season, which contributed to his low .221 batting average and .252 on-base percentage.

Tigers' Ronny Rodriguez: Starting in season finale
Rodriguez is starting at third base and batting fifth in Sunday's game against the White Sox.
Rodriguez has fallen into a reserve role with the Tigers, though he'll pick up one more start to finish out 2019. The 27-year-old has displayed decent pop with 13 home runs in 272 at-bats, though his .217/.248/.426 slash line and 27.9 strikeout rate leave plenty to be desired.

Tigers' Ronny Rodriguez: On bench for third straight
Rodriguez remains on the bench Sunday against the Orioles, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
Rodriguez sits for the third straight game. It's hard to say his loss of playing time is undeserved, as he owns an awful .097/.152/.097 slash line in nine games in the month of September and just a .683 OPS on the season. Jordy Mercer will start at second base.

Tigers' Ronny Rodriguez: Delivers RBI in loss
Rodriguez went 1-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Yankees.
Rodriguez drove home a run in the seventh inning on a groundout to shortstop, but it wasn't enough for the Tigers to emerge with the victory. He entered the day hitless in his last three ballgames (0-for-9), though his performance Thursday was a step in the right direction.

Tigers' Ronny Rodriguez: Hammers two long balls
Rodriguez went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs and five RBI in a 10-7 victory against the Twins on Saturday.
The 27-year-old had a two-run homer in the third as well as the sixth while adding a sacrifice fly for a fifth RBI. All of a sudden, Rodriguez has some major pop, as he hit six homers in his final 12 games of August. He is batting .236 with 13 home runs, 39 RBI, 26 runs and three steals in 220 at-bats this season.

Tigers' Ronny Rodriguez: Swats 11th homer
Rodriguez went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Friday's 13-5 loss to the Twins.
His eighth-inning solo shot off Sam Dyson was too little, too late for the Tigers, but it did give Rodriguez 11 homers through 67 games in the majors this year. His .228/.254/.461 slash line is less impressive, however, and while the 27-year-old is a fixture in the starting lineup right now due to an injury to Niko Goodrum (groin), Rodriguez is likely ticketed for a utility role next season.

Tigers' Ronny Rodriguez: Blasts first career grand slam
Rodriguez went 3-for-5 with his first career grand slam and a second run scored in Friday's 9-6 win over the Twins.
His sixth-inning blast effectively chased Jose Berrios from the game and gave the Tigers a lead they wouldn't relinquish. Rodriguez is red hot right now, starting six straight games and slashing .364/.417/.773 with three homers and six RBI, and with Niko Goodrum (groin) landing on the injured list Friday, there should be plenty of playing time available for the 27-year-old moving forward.

Tigers' Ronny Rodriguez: Goes deep again
Rodriguez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Astros.
Detroit mustered just two hits against Houston ace Justin Verlander, but Rodriguez made his count, launching his ninth home run of the season in the fifth inning to put the Tigers up 1-0. The 27-year-old utility player homered twice during the three games in Houston, and he showed earlier this year that he's capable of hot streaks with a little power, though a slump is often not far behind.
