Athletics optioned RHP Henry Rodriguez to Triple-A Sacramento. | ||||||
Rodriguez was called up to the big leagues on May after throwing 9 1/3 socreless innings for Triple-A Sacramento. The success did not transfer to the major, as the 22-year-old was shelled for two earned runs in his lone relief appearance. He may be recalled later this year. | ||||||

Athletics recalled RHP Henry Rodriguez from Triple-A Sacramento. | ||||||
The 22-year-old fireballer had 9 1/3 scoreless innings under his belt with Sacramento, compiling an impressive 14/3 K/BB ratio. Many view Rodriguez as a future closer, but he'll need to refine his walk rate (6.6 BB/9 in the minors) in order to make the next step as a big leaguer. | ||||||
