Aug 18, 2025; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA; Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Yariel Rodriguez (29) pitches against the Pittsburgh Pirates during the sixth inning at PNC Park. Mandatory Credit: Charles LeClaire-Imagn Images It was a surprising move to a clear 40-man spot, given Rodriguez’s performance. He was a key member of the Blue Jays’ bullpen last season, posting a 3-2 record, a 3.08 ERA and a 1.151 WHIP in 73 innings over 66 games for the American League champions. He had two saves.
