The Braves announced this morning that they have selected the contract of right-hander . Left-hander was optioned to Triple-A to make room for Rodriguez on the active roster, while lefty was transferred to the 60-day injured list to make room for Rodriguez Richard Hamilton Jersey on the 40-man roster. Rodriguez, 31, joined the Braves earlier this year when he was claimed off waivers from the Twins. He appeared in two games with the club earlier this season, posting 2 2/3 scorele s innings during that time, but was designated for a signment after the club acquired left-hander in late July. Shortly thereafter, Rodriguez accepted an outright a signment to remain in the Braves organization. In 44 2/3 innings of work with the clubs Triple-A affiliate this season, the right-hander has posted an ugly 6.45 ERA with a 21.1% strikeout rate against a 9.5% walk rate. Rodriguezs career in the big leagues began in 2018 as a member of the Giants. The then-26-year-old hurler pitched well in his rookie season, with a 2.81 ERA and 3.73 FIP in 21 games (19 starts) with San Francisco. Unfortunately, Rodriguez has struggled ever since that strong debut, with a 5.68 ERA and 6.04 FIP in 114 innings of work at the big league level since the start of the 2019 season. While it seems unlikely Rodriguez will return to the production he generated in his rookie season, he could nonethele s help a beleaguered Braves bullpen that has posted a 5.64 ERA since the start of September. Shusters up-and-down role as a spot starter this season continues as hes optioned back to Triple-A following his start against the Marlins yesterday. The 25-year-old has struggled to a 5.64 ERA in 52 2/3 innings of work (11 starts) this season, but figures to continue to act as starting depth for the Braves going forward. As for Lee, the lefty was placed on the injured list due to shoulder inflammation earlier this week. The injury was already expected to render him shut down until the 2024 campaign, so his move to the 60-day IL is entirely procedural. Jerami Grant Jersey
