Yankees Call Up Rodriguez for Paper Move | New York Yankees News
Description
Yankees pulled off a wild doubleheader twist against the Dodgers, dropping Game 1 but rallying in Game 2 — and in the process, called up 22-year-old pitcher Elmer Rodríguez as their 27th man. Though he never took the mound, the move was pure roster chess, preserving his option years without risking a pitch. Rodríguez, who made his MLB debut this season with a 0-2 record and a 4.76 ERA, was sent back to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre before facing the Pirates — a fleeting but strategically savvy moment in Yankees baseball.
