Aneury Rodriguez has agreed to a contract with the Samsung Lions of the Korean Baseball Organization.

Rodriguez had an ugly 6.60 ERA and 1.88 WHIP in 92 2/3 innings this past season at Triple-A Oklahoma City -- an affiliate of the Astros. The 25-year-old would have had to settle for a minor league deal state-side.

Astros sent RHP Aneury Rodriguez outright to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Rodriguez allowed just two earned runs in a spot start for the Astros earlier this season, but he probably won't get another look in the big leagues this summer.

Aneury Rodriguez was called up from the minors on Tuesday May 8.

Aneury Rodriguez is expected to be recalled to start for the Astros against the Marlins on Tuesday.

The spot in the rotation had previously belonged to the now-injured Kyle Weiland. This will likely be a one-time thing for Rodriguez, but there's always a chance he could make a favorable impression by pitching well and manage to stick around.

Aneury Rodriguez has been moved to the bullpen.

The Astros are going to keep 20-year-old Jordan Lyles in the starting rotation instead. Rodriguez is a decent young talent, but he has registered a 5.80 ERA and an 0-4 record as a starter this year. The 23-year-old Dominican right-hander will try for better in long relief.

Aneury Rodriguez surrendered six runs -- four earned -- in four innings Monday in a no-decision against the Cubs.

Rodriguez pitched well in three of his previous five starts for the Astros, but as little upside as he has -- particularly while pitching for such a poor team -- he's not recommended in NL-only leagues.

Aneury Rodriguez allowed just two runs but permitted eight hits and walked one over 5 1.3 innings in Friday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jays.

Rodriguez didn't pick up his first win, as the 'Stros scored all five of their runs in the last two innings. It was a notably improved effort from the young right-hander, but he's still failing to go very deep at all into games and has been quite hittable, giving up 21 hits over 15 1/3 innings in his last three starts. He'll face the Dodgers the next time out.

Aneury Rodriguez was ineffective again on Sunday, allowing seven runs (five earned) on five hits and four walks in just five innings of Houston's loss to the Mets.

Rodriguez struck out two in watching his already ugly 5.50 ERA balloon to 6.26. A Rule 5 pick-up, Rodriguez better show the Astros something in his next start (if he gets one) if he doesn't want to find himself back in the minor leagues.

Pitching against the Reds on Monday, Aneury Rodriguez didn't fare as well in his second major-league start as he did in his first, as he allowed five runs on eight hits in just five innings of work in an Astros loss.

He struck out three and walked one. His biggest mistake came in the third inning, where he allowed his pitching counterpart Travis Wood to take him deep for a three-run homer. There's no telling how he will look in his third start, which should come on Sunday against the Mets.

Making his first major league start, Rule 5 pick Aneury Rodriguez allowed one hit over five scoreless innings Wednesday against the Reds.

Rodriguez's stuff is middling and he entered today's game having allowed nine runs -- six earned -- in eight innings out of the pen, so don't rush to pick him up in NL-only leagues. We doubt he'll have any lasting fantasy value.

Aneury Rodriguez has had his suspension reduced from three to two games.

He'll sit out Sunday and Tuesday. Rodriguez was given the suspension for throwing at the Marlins' Gaby Sanchez in last Sunday's game.

MLB suspended Aneury Rodriguez for three games and Astros manager Brad Mills for one game for their actions during Sunday's game against the Marlins.

The Astros and Marlins had a bit of beanball war during Sunday's game and Rodriguez was ejected after throwing at Gaby Sanchez in the ninth inning. Mills will serve his suspension Tuesday while Rodriguez has appealed.

Aneury Rodriguez is now being considered for a spot in the Astros' Opening Day bullpen.

The 23-year-old Rule 5 Draft pick entered camp in the running for a rotation spot, but Nelson Figueora beat him out. Rodriguez posted a 2.06 ERA over 43 2/3 innings in the Dominican Winter League this offseason and would probably do quite well in a middle relief role for Houston.

Aneury Rodriguez held the Red Sox scoreless over three innings Tuesday in his third spring game.

Rodriguez allowed four hits and walked a batter, but he struck out one and did not allow a single run to cross the plate. The 23-year-old Rule 5 Draft pick is hoping to land the final spot in the Astros' starting rotation. He's off to a decent start this spring.

Aneury Rodriguez registered a 2.06 ERA over 43 2/3 innings this offseason in the Dominican Winter League.

Rodriguez also racked up 37 strikeouts. He was selected by Houston with the ninth pick in December's Rule 5 Draft and is expected to compete for the club's final rotation spot this spring. If the Astros decide that he's better suited for relief, he will operate as a long man out of the bullpen. Either way, the 'Stros have to carry the 23-year-old on their big league roster.
