Diamondbacks sent RHP Rafael Rodriguez outright to Triple-A Reno.

Rodriguez was designated for assignment by the club last month. The 26-year-old right-hander was acquired from the Angels in the Dan Haren trade and posted a 4.26 ERA and 37/21 K/BB ratio at the Triple-A level last season. He has a 5.60 ERA over 31 major league appearances.

Diamondbacks designated RHP Rafael Rodriguez for assignment.

Rodriguez, who was acquired from the Angels in the Dan Haren trade, was cleared to make room for the newly-acquired Armando Galarraga on the 40-man roster. Now 26 years old, he's a long way from his days as a top prospect out of the Dominican Republic. He owns a 4.62 ERA in the minor leagues and a 5.60 ERA over 31 big league appearances.

Rodriguez, who was acquired from the Angels in the trade for Dan Haren, allowed two runs over 2 2/3 innings in two appearances after being called up from the minors on August 4. He'll likely return when rosters expand in September.

Diamondbacks acquired RHP Rafael Rodriguez, LHP Joe Saunders, LHP Patrick Corbin and a player to be named from the Angels for RHP Dan Haren.

Rodriguez has posted a 4.50 ERA in 32 2/3 career innings pitched, striking out only 11. He's pitched only one game for the Angels this year and was in the minors at the time of the trade. Once signed to the biggest bonus paid by the organization to a Dominican prospect, Rodriguez wasn't even ranked amongst the club's top 10 prospects by Baseball America in the off-season. His potential, at this point, appears capped to middle relief.
