Rodriguez has a career 4.61 ERA in 95 2/3 innings. He had a better year last year with a 2.84 ERA after he came over to the Yankees from Texas Rangers in Joey Gallo trade. Rodriguez is a sinker ball pitcher who can produce a lot of ground balls. He is a much needed lefty in a bullpen that has all righty relievers including Edwin Diaz, Seth Lugo, Adam Ottavano and Trevor May.
