Promotion official The Orioles recalled Rodriguez from Triple-A Norfolk ahead of his scheduled start Wednesday against the Rangers in Arlington, Dan Connolly of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 23-year-old right-hander will be making his much-anticipated MLB debut Wednesday, stepping into the rotation as a replacement for Kyle Bradish (foot), who was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. Though Rodriguez is the Orioles' top pitching prospect and should at least hold down a rotation spot so long as Bradish is on the shelf, he'll likely need to rectify the command and control problems he's shown throughout the spring in order to earn a more permanent stay in the big leagues. Rodriguez failed to win a spot on the Opening Day roster after walking seven batters and surrendering three home runs in 15.1 Grapefruit League innings, and those issues carried over to his lone Triple-A start prior to his call-up. He worked four innings his last time out Friday with Norfolk, striking out two while issuing four walks, throwing a wild pitch and serving up a home run.

Could start Wednesday vs. TEX Rodriguez is being called up Wednesday by the Orioles, Geoff Pontes of Baseball America reports.

Impact It's likely that Rodriguez will be the starter for the Orioles with Baltimore having to adjust their rotation after the leg injury to Kyle Bradish. The top pitching prospect in the Baltimore system missed out on the Opening Day roster, but it appears he'll get the opportunity to make his MLB debut against the Rangers on Wednesday.

Starting in Triple-A Norfolk opener Rodriguez is starting for Triple-A Norfolk in their season opener Friday against Triple-A Durham, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Impact Rodriguez did not ultimately claim a spot in the Orioles' Opening Day rotation after struggling to a 7.04 ERA across 15.1 innings (five starts) this spring in the Grapefruit League. But the 23-year-old should again dominate the competition at the Triple-A level en route to an early-season promotion to Baltimore. He posted a 2.20 ERA with 97 strikeouts over 69.2 innings (14 starts) for Norfolk last year.

The Baltimore Orioles have optioned right-hander Grayson Rodriguez to Triple-A Norfolk

MARCH 27, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Officially optioned to Triple-A Rodriguez was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk by the Orioles on Monday, Steve Melewski of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact It was revealed earlier Monday that Rodriguez wasn't going to be part of the Orioles' rotation and now he's officially been sent down. While the top prospect did struggle this spring, the odds are good that he'll get off to a good start with Norfolk and join the O's rotation sooner rather than later.

Won't be in Opening Day rotation Rodriguez will not be part of the Orioles' Opening Day roster, Andy Kostka of The Baltimore Banner reports.

Impact Prior to spring training, Rodriguez cracking the Opening Day rotation seemed like a foregone conclusion. However, Kostka writes that "the internal feeling was that Rodriguez hadn't been consistent enough" during his five Grapefruit League outings. The top prospect struck out 19 over 15.1 innings this spring but also walked seven and held a 7.04 ERA. Rodriguez should be part of Baltimore's rotation soon enough, but for now he'll have to wait.
