The Baltimore Orioles claimed right-handed pitcher Elvin Rodriguez off waivers from the Milwaukee Brewers and optioned him to Triple-A Norfolk. The move could eventually add depth to the O’s bullpen if they make any MLB trade deadline moves.
Rodriguez last pitched May 7th in the majors with the Brewers with a 8.68 ERA in six games with Milwaukee.
In 16 appearances in AAA, he has a 4.25 ERA mostly relief.
The 27-year-old reliever has also pitched for the Tigers and Rays.
