Roster %
Eligibility
The Blue Jays have placed Yariel Rodriguez on the 15-day IL with thoracic spine inflammation.
Fantasy Impact
Rodriguez reported feeling soreness in his back after his start on Monday. After further evaluation on Tuesday, he will head to the injured list. Zach Pop has been recalled from Triple-A Buffalo to take his spot on the roster.
Yariel Rodriguez allowed two earned runs over 3.2 innings in the Blue Jays' narrow 6-5 victory over the Royals.
Fantasy Impact
He surrendered six hits and three walks while striking out only one batter. This outing has done little to reassure fantasy managers, as Rodriguez's ERA and WHIP for the season have been less than stellar. His high WHIP of 1.76 and a BABIP of .378 suggest he's been somewhat unlucky, but these numbers also indicate a tendency to allow too many baserunners, which is a red flag in fantasy circles. With a modest strikeout rate and a concerning strikeout-to-walk ratio, Rodriguez remains a risky play in most fantasy formats.
Yariel Rodriguez allowed three earned runs over four innings in the Blue Jays' 3-2 loss to the Royals on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
He surrendered six hits and two walks while striking out two. This outing marks a noticeable dip in Rodriguez's otherwise stellar early-season performance, pushing his ERA up from an impressive 2.35 to a less flattering figure of 3.86. Fantasy managers might want to keep an eye on his ability to manage hits and walks in future appearances, as his WHIP has crept up to a concerning level.
Yariel Rodriguez allowed one run and struck out seven over four innings in the Blue Jays' 5-1 win against the Padres.
Fantasy Impact
His performance was solid, navigating through three hits and a walk, while racking up a high strikeout total. With this outing, Rodriguez's season ERA slightly improved, maintaining an impressive strikeout rate that should catch the eye of fantasy managers in need of punchouts. However, his high WHIP and BABIP suggest some volatility, indicating potential for rough outings ahead. Fantasy managers should consider him a high-risk, high-reward option, particularly useful in strikeout-heavy formats.
The Blue Jays have announced that Yariel Rodriguez will get the start Friday against San Diego.
Fantasy Impact
Rodriguez allowed one earned run over 3 2/3 innings pitched in his first start of the season against the Rockies. The 27-year-old has earned another start before the team has to activate Alek Manoah.
