Orioles' Brady Rodgers: Throwing bullpen Sunday
Rodgers (biceps) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Sunday, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
Rodgers has been dealing with soreness in his right biceps this spring that has limited his activity, but throwing a bullpen Sunday could be the first step to increasing his activity. It's unclear whether the right-hander will be ready for the beginning of the season in the minors due to the delays in his spring training regimen.

Orioles' Brady Rodgers: Slated to throw soon
Manager Brandon Hyde said Wednesday that Rodgers (biceps) is scheduled to resume a throwing program soon, Jon Meoli of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Rodgers first relayed two weeks ago that he was experiencing soreness in his right biceps, prompting the Orioles to place him on a no-throw regimen. The 29-year-old had been expected to advance to a throwing progression last week, but he evidently didn't move past the injury as quickly as anticipated. While it's encouraging that he hasn't been shut down from activity completely, Rodgers may not have enough time to get his arm fully conditioned for the start of the minor-league season.

Orioles' Brady Rodgers: Battling arm soreness
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said that Rodgers has yet to throw a bullpen session this spring due to arm soreness, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.
Hyde didn't suggest that Rodgers' injury was anything overly worrisome, so the Orioles are presumably just taking some precaution with the 29-year-old. Rodgers is attending big-league spring training as a non-roster invitee and is expected to open the season in the Triple-A Norfolk rotation.

Orioles' Brady Rodgers: Scheduled to throw Saturday
Rodgers (arm) is scheduled to throw Saturday after he missed his first bullpen session, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.
Rodgers was backed off his throwing program Wednesday after experiencing mild arm soreness, but he'll return to throwing Saturday. The injury doesn't appear to be too severe, but the Orioles are likely exercising extra caution with the right-hander after he missed the second half of 2019 with an unspecified injury.

Orioles' Brady Rodgers: Battling arm soreness
Rodgers was backed off his throwing program Wednesday due to mild arm soreness, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
It doesn't sound like the Orioles are overly concerned about the issue at the moment, though arm issues for pitchers always have the potential to get worse. Even if healthy, Rodgers is unlikely to play a major role in Baltimore this season, as he owns a 15.53 ERA and a 7:10 K:BB in 13.1 career big-league innings.

Orioles' Brady Rodgers: Finds work in Baltimore
Rodgers agreed Thursday with the Orioles on a minor-league contract, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
A third-round selection of the Astros in the 2012 first-year player draft, Rodgers' seven-year run in the organization came to an end in late August, when he was released just days after being dropped from Houston's 40-man roster. Rodgers submitted a 2.86 ERA over 132 innings at Triple-A Fresno in 2016, but injuries have played a part in his development stalling out since then. The Orioles will likely invite him to their big-league camp, but he'll presumably be ticketed for a spot in the Triple-A Norfolk rotation.

Brady Rodgers: Let go by Astros
Rodgers (undisclosed) was released by the Astros on Thursday.
Rodgers was designated for assignment by Houston earlier in the week and it wasn't long before the team opted to release him. The 28-year-old was in the midst of a rehab assignment for an undisclosed injury, and it's unclear when he's expected to be healthy. Rodgers has a 3.83 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 35:18 K:BB in eight starts with Triple-A Round Rock this season.

Astros' Brady Rodgers: Designated for assignment
Rodgers (undisclosed) was designated for assignment, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports.
He is in the midst of a rehab assignment from an undisclosed injury but has not pitched in two weeks, so perhaps he suffered a setback. The Astros needed to clear a 40-man roster spot after selecting Abraham Toro's contract from Triple-A.

Astros' Brady Rodgers: On mend from injury
Rodgers (undisclosed) has made three rehab appearances with the Astros' rookie-level Gulf Coast League affiliate, covering 7.1 innings and giving up two runs while striking out eight.
Rodgers has been on Triple-A Round Rock's 7-day injured list since July 4 with the unspecified injury. The right-hander tossed only 16 pitches in his most recent appearance in the Gulf Coast League, suggesting the Astros may be preparing for him to fill a relief role once he rejoins Round Rock.

Astros' Brady Rodgers: Sidelined at Triple-A
Triple-A Round Rock placed Rodgers on its 7-day injured list July 4 due to an unspecified injury.
With a 3.83 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 35 strikeouts in 49.1 innings at Triple-A this season, Rodgers has been a solid if unspectacular member of the Round Rock rotation. While his numbers alone weren't making the case that he was deserving a promotion to Houston, a healthy Rodgers may have gotten a trial in the Astros rotation this week while the team continues to wait for Brad Peacock (shoulder) to return from the 10-day IL. Rodgers is without a clear timeline to return from Round Rock's IL, and his window for a potential callup might have already closed by the time he's back to full strength.

Astros' Brady Rodgers: Optioned to Triple-A

Astros' Brady Rodgers: Promoted to majors
Rodgers was called up from Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports.
Collin McHugh (elbow discomfort) landed on the injured list, so Rodgers was summoned to take his place in the bullpen. Rodgers has not pitched in the big leagues since 2016. He had a 3.22 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 32:16 K:BB in 44.2 innings at Triple-A and should pitch in low-leverage situations.

Astros' Brady Rodgers: Sent to minors
The Astros optioned Rodgers to their minor-league camp Wednesday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Rodgers was one of six players sent packing as the Astros reduced their big-league camp contingent to 55 men. The right-hander, who gave up five earned runs and 15 hits in his eight Grapefruit League innings, will likely slot into the Triple-A Round Rock rotation to begin 2019.

Astros' Brady Rodgers: Tabbed for Grapefruit League opener
Rodgers will start the Astros' first Grapefruit League game Saturday against the Nationals, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
According to Jake Kaplan of The Athletic, manager A.J. Hinch said that the Astros "wanted to reward [Rodgers] and his rehab and getting back to camp healthy and feeling good by giving him the first start." It's a nice gesture, but the 28-year-old seems like a long shot to crack Houston's rotation out of spring training. After returning from Tommy John in July last year, Rodgers posted a 5.49 ERA and 30:10 K:BB in 41 innings of work at Triple-A.

Astros' Brady Rodgers: Activated and optioned to Triple-A
Rodgers (elbow) was reinstated from the 10-day disabled list Friday and was sent to Triple-A Fresno, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic Houston reports.
Rodgers underwent Tommy John surgery in May of 2017, but he completed his rehabilitation assignment Friday and he'll serve as pitching depth for Houston with the potential for a late-season callup. Prior to suffering the injury, Rodgers made three starts for the Grizzlies in 2017, posting a 1.10 ERA and 0.93 WHIP with 11 strikeouts over 16.1 innings.

Astros' Brady Rodgers: Makes first rehab start
Rodgers (elbow) threw 37 pitches (26 strikes) and allowed four runs in two innings for short-season Tri-City on Wednesday.
Rodgers was making his first start since undergoing Tommy John surgery in early 2017. The 2016 Pacific Coast League Pitcher of the Year threw just 16.1 innings last season before exiting his third start with the problem that later required surgery.

Astros' Brady Rodgers: Set to begin rehab assignment
Rodgers (elbow) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Low-A Tri-City on Wednesday, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic Houston reports.
Rodgers has been on the shelf all season while working his way back from Tommy John surgery that he underwent in May of 2017. Considering how long he's been sidelined, Rodgers is expected to require an extended rehab stint. Once he's finally deemed healthy, Rodgers will likely report to Double-A Corpus Christi or Triple-A Fresno.

Astros' Brady Rodgers: Hits 10-day DL
The Astros placed Rodgers (elbow) on the 10-day disabled list Thursday, MLB.com reports.
Rodgers underwent Tommy John surgery about 11 months ago and is close to resuming mound work, potentially setting him up for a mid-summer return from the disabled list. Prior to hitting the DL last spring, Rodgers was a fringe member of the Houston bullpen, so there's a high likelihood that he'll be optioned to Double-A Corpus Christi or Triple-A Fresno once he's activated.
