Gives up three runs Friday Rodriguez allowed three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out two in four innings in Friday's win over the White Sox. He didn't factor into the decision.

Impact Rodriguez gave up three runs in the first two innings of Friday's matchup, and he settled for a no-decision in the Opening Day start. The 29-year-old posted a career-worst 4.74 ERA and 1.39 WHIP in 32 appearances (31 starts) last year, but he had a career-best 27.4 percent strikeout rate. Rodriguez tentatively lines up to make his next start against the Red Sox on Wednesday at home.

Looks good in final spring start Rodriguez allowed two runs on three hits across five innings in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Orioles. He walked one and struck out eight.

Impact Making his final tune-up start before his Opening Day nod Friday, Rodriguez looked sharp and brought his spring ERA down to 3.71. He also recorded 19 strikeouts across 17 Grapefruit League innings. The lefty should be a good source of strikeouts all season, and he may see improvements in ERA and WHIP working in a more pitcher-friendly home ballpark. With Boston last season, Rodriguez posted a 4.74 ERA and 1.39 WHIP, both of which were career worsts. However, he also won 13 games and struck out 185 batters across 157.2 innings.

Allows three earned runs Monday Rodriguez allowed four runs (three earned) on six hits across five innings in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees. He walked one and struck out three.

Impact This was Rodriguez's least effective start this spring, as he had allowed a total of just two earned runs across seven innings in his previous two outings. The lefty is still looking solid in camp with a 3.75 ERA and should slot in as the Tigers' ace this season. Working in a pitcher-friendly home ballpark, Rodriguez could be poised for good results in his first season with Detroit.

Feels good about slider Rodriguez added a slider toward the end of last season and said he feels "really good with it" to begin 2022, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Rodriguez said he started using the pitch during the 2021 postseason with Boston and got comfortable with it. "I was looking for a slider all my career, and I feel like I've finally found one," he added. The lefty is locked in as Detroit's No. 1 starter after joining the Tigers in the offseason, and he could take a step forward if he continues to make strides with his slider. In his second spring start Wednesday, Rodriguez allowed one run over four innings while striking out five.

Named Opening Day starter Rodriguez was named the Tigers' starter against the White Sox for Opening Day on April 8, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Impact Rodriguez is starting Detroit's first game of spring training Friday and will also be the first pitcher to take the mound in the regular season. It's hardly a surprise after the 28-year-old inked a five-year, $77 million deal with the Tigers in mid-November. Rodriguez finished last season with a 4.74 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 185:47 K:BB across 157.2 innings, though he posted a career-best 24.0 K-BB% and 0.71 HR/9.

Spring debut set for Friday Rodriguez is slated to start the Tigers' spring training opener Friday against the Phillies, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact This isn't surprising, as Rodriguez was signed to a five-year, $77 million deal in the offseason to serve as Detroit's No. 1 starter. He'll be followed by Casey Mize on Saturday, and those two should headline the rotation during the regular season as well. Rodriguez recorded a 4.74 ERA and 185 strikeouts across 157.2 innings for the Red Sox in 2021.
