Elmer Rodriguez Optioned to Triple-A After Tuesday's Start
The New York Yankees announced that they optioned right-handed pitching prospect Elmer Rodriguez to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following Tuesday's game against the Texas Rangers. In his second major-league start on Tuesday night against the Rangers, Rodriguez, the team's No. 3 prospect per MLB Pipeline, picked up a no-decision by allowing three earned runs on six hits while walking four and striking out two in 4 2/3 innings of work in the Bronx. The 22-year-old Puerto Rican also faced the Rangers in his MLB debut on April 29, taking the loss while giving up two earned runs while walking four, and striking out three in four frames. Through his first two starts with the Yankees, Rodriguez has a 5.19 ERA and 2.08 WHIP in 8 2/3 innings. He will head back to the farm to work on his control with left-hander Carlos Rodon (elbow) expected to come off the 15-day injured list soon to make his 2026 season debut. Rodriguez should be back up in the big leagues at some point later this year, and he's one of the better young pitching stashes in deeper fantasy leagues.
