Sun Aug 16 201521:00Rodriguez agreed to minor-league contract with Royals
Rodriguez agreed to a minor-league contract with the Royals, Josh Vernier of 610 Sports Radio reports.
Rodriguez was DFA'd by the Rangers at the end of August, after posting a 4.90 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 72:36 K:BB ratio over 86.1 innings. He'll start off at Triple-A Omaha but could get the nod if the Royals need a spot starter.
Thu Aug 6 201516:54Rodriguez cleared waivers Thursday and now free agent
Rodriguez cleared waivers Thursday and is now a free agent.
Rodriguez was DFA'd by the Rangers last week after he was shelled for seven runs on six hits with three walks in just one inning against the Yankees. The 36-year-old will elect free agency, rather than accept minor league assignment, in hopes of landing with a team in search of a veteran arm to likely bring out of the bullpen.

Rodriguez was designated for assignment by the Rangers on Wednesday.
Making his second relief appearance of the year Tuesday, Rodriguez was blown up for seven runs on six hits and three walks in just one inning of work against the Yankees. The 36-year-old turned in a 2.70 ERA in his first four starts but struggled thereafter, and was ultimately bumped from the rotation after the All-Star break. He figures to refuse an outright assignment to the minors and elect free agency.

Rodriguez will be passed over for Monday's start against the Rockies and appears to have lost his rotation spot, Stefan Stevenson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Rumors have abounded the last few days that the Rangers are looking to shop Rodriguez to other teams at the trade deadline, and the left-hander's removal from his scheduled start only adds further credence to that. The Rangers will give Monday's nod to Nick Martinez, who figures to reclaim a permanent spot in the rotation and bump Rodriguez to the bullpen until the Rangers are able to find a trading partner.

Rangers manager Jeff Banister said that Monday's starter at Colorado is "TBA," Stefan Stevenson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Monday was presumed to be Rodriguez's day to take the ball, but the team seems to be thinking about going in another direction. It's uncertain if there is any injury in play or if perhaps the Rangers are leaving the door open for a trade to get done.

Rodriguez picked up the win Friday, allowing one run on three hits with two walks while striking out five in 5.1 innings against the Padres.
Rodriguez was effective but not especially efficient, throwing 57 of 91 pitches for strikes before being removed in the sixth inning. That's now five straight starts in which Rodriguez has failed to complete six innings, yet the 36-year-old is 3-2 over that span. The lefty ends the unofficial first half with a 4.07 ERA and 1.45 WHIP.

The win improved his record to 5-3 on the season, while Rodriguez consistently stayed ahead of the Baltimore lineup (20-of-24 first-pitch strikes) Monday night. The seven-strikeout performance was Rodriguez's second best of the season, topped only by an eight-strikeout night against the Astros on May 5. Rodriguez will make his next scheduled start Saturday against the Angels in Arlington.

Rodriguez (4-3) gave up eight runs on 11 hits and three walks while striking out four in Wednesday's loss to the A's.
Texas had won its last six games started by Rodriguez, who had allowed three runs or less in each of those games. That streak was snapped Wednesday when Rodriguez gave up eight runs in the first two innings. The 36-year-old lefty will look to bounce back in his next scheduled start Monday at Baltimore.

Rodriguez (3-2) gave up just one run on three hits and three walks with six strikeouts in 6.1 innings against the Twins on Friday, but did not factor into the decision.
Wandy has quietly enjoyed a solid season for the Rangers. He is inducing groundballs at a career-high rate (48.3%) and has only given up four home runs all year en route to a 3.03 ERA thus far. It took Rodriguez 122 pitches to get 20 outs Friday, so owners should beware of fatigue when he starts at the Dodgers on Wednesday.

Rodriguez was solid in a no-decision on Sunday against the Red Sox, as he gave up three runs (two earned) over 5.2 innings with four strikeouts and zero walks.
The veteran scattered nine singles on the day, but was able to avoid any major damage despite giving up a run on an error with men on in the second inning. Rodriguez has now given up three runs or fewer in all but two of his starts this season and continues to put up solid, yet unspectacular numbers for the Rangers.

Rodriguez gave up three runs on four hits in Tuesday's win over Cleveland.

Rodriguez allowed five runs on eight hits, walking one and striking out two over 4.2 innings of an 8-3 loss to Cleveland on Friday night.
He gave up two runs in the top of the first inning, but his mates scored three in the bottom of the frame to give him a lead. The Indians then scored in the fourth and fifth innings to chase him. It was a struggle throughout as Rodriguez (1-2, 3.86 ERA) needed 101 pitches (64 for strikes) and didn't make it out of the fifth. He has been extremely inconsistent so far this season and would have to be considered a risky play right now.
Wed May 6 201508:47Rodriguez eight full innings Tuesday against Astros, only giving...
Rodriguez went eight full innings Tuesday against the Astros, only giving up one earned run on three hits while fanning eight to earn the win.
Rodriguez rebounded from his previous start, when he only last four innings. He's only made three starts this year, so it's still tough to get a read on his performance. However, he's had two starts now when he's allowed only one run, but he's given up two home runs and walked nine combined batters.

Rodriguez lasted only 4.1 innings, allowing five hits, five walks and four runs with three strikeouts Wednesday against the Mariners.
With the game tied at two and the bases loaded with one out in the the top of the fifth, Rodriguez gave up a grounder to Logan Morrison that should have ended the inning with a double-play. However, first baseman Kyle Blanks missed the ball, and the play resulted in a two-run double. Rodriguez was then lifted for Stolmy Pimentel, who pitched three scoreless innings. The veteran left-hander will take the mound again Tuesday at Houston.
