The transaction frees a spot on the 40-man roster for Luis Arraez, whose signing was officially announced Tuesday. Rodriguez underwent Tommy John surgery last September and will miss the entire 2026 season.

• Giants' Randy Rodriguez: Tommy John surgery on tap next week

  Rotowire Sep 15, 2025

  Rodriguez is scheduled to undergo Tommy John surgery on his right elbow during the final week of September, MLB.com reports. Rodriguez has known for a few weeks that he would need Tommy John surgery after he was placed on the injured list Aug. 26, but he'll end up delaying the procedure for nearly a month, presumably because he was waiting for the inflammation in his elbow to subside. Assuming his surgery goes off without any complications, Rodriguez will face a 12-to-18-month recovery, which will keep him out for the entire 2026 campaign. Before suffering the injury, Rodriguez earned his first All-Star nod after submitting a 1.78 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 67:11 K:BB while collecting three wins, four saves and 13 holds over 50.2 innings this season.

• Giants' Randy Rodriguez: Shifts to 60-day IL

  Rotowire Sep 1, 2025

  The Giants transferred Rodriguez (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday. Rodriguez needs Tommy John surgery and is expected to remain out through the end of the 2026 season. The All-Star reliever was electric out of the San Francisco bullpen this season, posting a 1.78 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 67:11 K:BB across 50.2 innings. Rodriguez took over as the Giants' closer following the trade of Camilo Doval to the Yankees in late July, but Ryan Walker looks poised to see most of the save chances for San Francisco in September.

• Giants' Randy Rodriguez: Set for Tommy John surgery

  Rotowire Aug 31, 2025

  Giants manager Bob Melvin confirmed Saturday that Rodriguez (elbow) will undergo Tommy John surgery, Andres Soto of MLB.com reports. Given that Tommy John surgery typically requires a 12-to-18 month recovery, Rodriguez's absence will extend through the end of the 2026 season. The 25-year-old right-hander previously missed over a month in the second half of the 2024 campaign due to right elbow inflammation, and the pain reportedly never fully subsided. Despite that, Rodriguez earned his first All-Star selection in 2025, recording a 1.78 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 67:11 K:BB across 50.2 innings in 50 appearances. He had also notched three saves in August, but Ryan Walker appears likely to take over as the Giants' primary closer with Rodriguez shut down.

• Giants' Randy Rodriguez: Lands on IL

  Rotowire Aug 26, 2025

  The Giants placed Rodriguez on the 15-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to Saturday, with a sprained right elbow. Rodriguez was unavailable out of the bullpen for the past few days while battling an elbow issue he picked up during Sunday's win over Milwaukee. Manager Bob Melvin was hopeful the 25-year-old righty would be back in time for Tuesday's series opener against the Cubs, but the Giants will instead be without their primary closer until at least Sept. 7. Ryan Walker will presumably take over as San Francisco's preferred ninth-inning option for the short-term future, and Keaton Winn will come up from Triple-A to replenish the team's bullpen depth.

• Giants' Randy Rodriguez: Picks up loss Friday

  Rotowire Aug 23, 2025

  Rodriguez (3-5) took the loss in Friday's 5-4 defeat to the Brewers, allowing one home run while striking out one across one inning. Rodriguez entered the game with two outs in the eighth inning and struck out the first batter he faced. The 25-year-old retired two straight hitters in the ninth with the game tied at 4-4, but he gave up a walk-off home run to William Contreras. Rodriguez owns a 1.78 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 67:11 K:BB in 50.2 innings across 50 games this season.

• Giants' Randy Rodriguez: Records fourth save

  Rotowire Aug 19, 2025

  Rodriguez allowed a hit in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Monday's 4-3 win over the Padres. Rodriguez has been a little shaky since taking over closing duties at the tail end of July. He's allowed five runs in six innings while converting just three of five save chances and taking three losses over his last six appearances. Despite the recent struggles, Rodriguez is still boasting strong season-long numbers with a 1.63 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 66:11 K:BB over 49.2 innings. He's up to four saves as well as 13 holds in 49 appearances.

• Giants' Randy Rodriguez: Earns third save

  Rotowire Aug 6, 2025

  Rodriguez threw a perfect ninth inning to earn the save in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Pirates. He did not record a strikeout. Rodriguez was called upon to protect a two-run lead in the ninth inning and needed just 13 pitches to shut the door. It was an encouraging bounce-back after he allowed two runs and suffered his first blown save in the closer role Monday. On the year, the 25-year-old owns a 1.51 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 64:11 K:BB with three saves and 13 holds across 47.2 innings.

• Giants' Randy Rodriguez: Blows save, takes loss

  Rotowire Aug 4, 2025

  Rodriguez (3-3) blew the save and took the loss in Monday's game against the Pirates. He allowed two runs on a hit, a walk and a hit-by-pitch in two-thirds of an inning with one strikeout. Rodriguez was seeking to convert his second straight save since Camilo Doval was traded to the Yankees at the deadline. Things were shaky from the start, as the flamethrowing righty walked Andrew McCutchen to open the ninth. After placing another runner aboard via a hit-by-pitch, Joey Bart knotted the game at 4-4 with an RBI single. The next batter, Isiah Kiner-Falefa then plated the winning run on a groundball fielder's choice. Rodriguez should continue to serve as the main saves option in San Francisco; however, if he blows future opportunities, former Giants closer Ryan Walker is waiting in the wings. Rodriguez has pitched to a 1.54 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 64:11 K:BB across 46.2 total innings.

  Rotowire Aug 1, 2025

Rodriguez has been utterly dominant in 44 appearances out of the San Francisco bullpen this season, posting a 1.20 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 62:9 K:BB over 45 innings as a first-time All-Star. With Camilo Doval shipped to the Yankees on Thursday, Rodriguez is poised to take over the ninth, with one-time closer Ryan Walker remaining in a setup role.

• Giants' Randy Rodriguez: Stuck with blown save

  Rotowire Jun 12, 2025

  Rodriguez (3-1) took a blown save and a loss Thursday against the Rockies, allowing three runs (one earned) on two hits and two walks over two-thirds of an inning. He struck out one. With Camilo Doval having pitched back-to-back days and Ryan Walker working the eighth inning Thursday, it was Rodriguez who was tasked with protecting a two-run lead in the ninth. It did not go well for the 25-year-old right-hander -- after Rodriguez recorded the first out, the next four Rockies all reached safely before Orlando Arcia knocked in the winning run with a two-out hit. Prior to Thursday, Rodriguez hadn't allowed a run in his last 16.2 innings, giving up just six hits while striking out 27 in that span. He still sports a pristine 0.90 ERA with a 0.73 WHIP and 44:5 K:BB across 30 innings while holding down a high-leverage role in San Francisco.

  Rotowire May 11, 2025

  Rodriguez struck out the side in a scoreless eighth inning during Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Twins. Rodriguez tossed his fourth consecutive scoreless outing Saturday, throwing 10 of his 12 pitches for strikes in an extremely efficient effort. The right-hander has allowed just two earned runs all season, both of which came in a loss to the Padres on April 29. The 25-year-old owns a 1.08 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and a 24:2 K:BB across 16.2 innings in 16 appearances.

• Giants' Randy Rodriguez: Fans three in scoreless outing

Rodriguez worked two innings for the first time this season, throwing 15 of his 24 pitches for strikes while giving up two singles. The 25-year-old has been impressive so far and is the first Giants pitcher since 1901 to record 11 scoreless outings to start the season -- a feat that has been accomplished only 16 times in big-league history. Rodriguez owns a 0.00 ERA, 0.69 WHIP and 16:0 K:BB across 11.2 innings.

• Giants' Randy Rodriguez: Facing multi-week shutdown

  Rotowire Aug 18, 2024

  Giants manager Bob Melvin said Sunday that Rodriguez (elbow) will be shut down from throwing for at least a couple weeks, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. The right-hander landed on the injured list Thursday due to elbow inflammation, and that diagnosis was confirmed after undergoing an MRI. Rodriguez has yet to be ruled out for the season, but he'll likely need to avoid any setbacks in his recovery to have a chance of rejoining the Giants in late September.

• Giants' Randy Rodriguez: Goes on IL with elbow inflammation

  Rotowire Aug 15, 2024

  The Giants placed Rodriguez on the 15-day injured list Thursday due to right elbow inflammation, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. Rodriguez will be eligible to return before the end of the month, but given the nature of the injury it's difficult to say at this point whether he has a chance to be ready by that date. Spencer Bivens has been recalled in a corresponding move.

• Giants' Randy Rodriguez: Grabs win Sunday

  Rotowire Jul 28, 2024

  Rodriguez (3-1) allowed one run on two hits and struck out three over three innings, earning the win over the Rockies on Sunday. This was a bullpen game for the Giants, and Rodriguez was their second pitcher in a contest in which they never trailed. Rodriguez was called up as a reinforcement for the bullpen earlier Sunday after Sean Hjelle (personal) went on the bereavement list. For the season, Rodriguez has a 4.11 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 47:15 K:BB while adding five holds over 46 innings through 30 appearances. The right-hander has been effective, but since he threw 45 pitches Sunday, he could soon be optioned out for another fresh reliever.

• Giants' Randy Rodriguez: Sent to Triple-A

  Rotowire Jul 24, 2024

  The Giants optioned Rodriguez to Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday. With Robbie Ray (elbow) returning from the IL to start Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, Rodriguez will be left without a spot on the Giants' pitching staff. The 24-year-old joined the big-league bullpen in early May and posted a 4.19 ERA and 1.16 WHIP while striking out 44 batters through his first 43 career MLB innings.

• Giants' Randy Rodriguez: Strikes out five as opener

  Rotowire Jun 26, 2024

  Rodriguez allowed a run on one hit and two walks while striking out five over 2.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Cubs on Tuesday. Rodriguez made his first career start and had the most work of the Giants' six pitchers in the contest, though he was never going to pitch deep enough to have a chance at the win. He's given up 11 runs over 14.1 innings in June, but he has a 15:4 K:BB in that span that suggests he's got a skill set that can keep him in the majors. For the year, he's at a 4.70 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 36:11 K:BB over 30.2 innings through 19 appearances. With the Giants' rotation unlikely to gain reinforcements until July, Rodriguez may see a few more opener assignments over the next couple of weeks if manager Bob Melvin opts to protect the pitchers the team has called up to plug holes.
