Detroit has the goal of winning the AL Central and, hopefully, winning the AL pennant in October.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5q\">It won\u2019t be easy, though, so it wouldn\u2019t be surprising to see them make a couple of moves at or <a href=\"https:\/\/detroitjockcity.com\/detroitjockcity.com\/tigers-rival-strikes-first-ahead-mlb-trade-deadline-01k09vxgpdzt\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">by the trade deadline<\/a>, which could have ramifications on the big league and minor league roster.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5t\">Speaking of transactions, at this point in the regular season, teams are re-shuffling their rosters to find players who can fill a void in the short and long term. Meanwhile, veterans, who have been DFA\u2019d, are trying to find new opportunities.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5w\">One former Tigers pitcher was in the latter category, but has latched on with a new organization, as we gear up for the second half of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Ex-Tigers Pitcher Elvin Rodriguez Signs With Baltimore Orioles<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"62\">On Wednesday, the Baltimore Orioles announced that they claimed former Tigers pitcher Elvin Rodriguez off waivers from the Milwaukee Brewers. He was immediately optioned to Triple-A Norfolk. The Brew Crew designated Rodriguez for assignment on July 9.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Orioles have made the following roster move:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Claimed RHP Elvin Rodr\u00edguez off waivers from the Milwaukee Brewers and optioned him to Triple-A Norfolk.<\/p>\n<p>The Orioles\u2019 40-man roster currently has 39 players.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Roch Kubatko (@masnRoch) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/masnRoch\/status\/1945555417691500819?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">July 16, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"68\">The 27-year-old right-handed pitcher signed a one-year deal worth $900,000 with the Brewers this offseason. Rodriguez had a 0-2 record and 8.68 ERA in six appearances (two starts) with Milwaukee.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6b\">The right-handed pitcher also had 16 appearances with the Brewers\u2019 Triple-A club, the Nashville Sounds, where he posted a 4.25 ERA.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6e\">Rodriguez made his major league debut with the Tigers during the 2022 season. The 6-foot-4 pitcher appeared in seven games, which included five starts. The right-handed hurler struggled on the mound, posting a 0-4 record and 10.62 ERA.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6h\">He was with the Tigers\u2019 organization dating back to the 2018 season, spending most of his time in the minors, outside of his brief stint in 2022. Detroit outrighted the right-handed pitcher to the minors in November 2022, and he eventually signed with the Tampa Bay Rays in January 2023.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6k\">Rodriguez made one major league appearance with the Rays during the 2023 season and 10 appearances in Triple-A before taking his talents to Japan for the rest of the 2023 and all of the 2024 seasons.<\/p>\n<p>More Detroit Tigers News and Rumors:<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Detroit Tigers are about to begin their push towards the postseason on Friday, as the MLB All-Star&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2561,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[558],"tags":[64,63,591,85],"class_list":["post-2560","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2560","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2560"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2560\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2561"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2560"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2560"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2560"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
