Brewers' Carlos Rodriguez: Back in action at Triple-A
Rotowire
The Brewers reinstated Rodriguez (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list July 12 and optioned him to Triple-A Nashville.
Rodriguez made one rehab appearance apiece in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League and with Nashville before being assigned to the Triple-A affiliate when he was activated shortly before the All-Star break. After making a 2.2-inning start with Nashville immediately following his return from the IL on July 12, Rodriguez worked in relief during his first appearance of the second half Saturday, yielding four earned runs on two hits and three walks over one inning.

Brewers' Carlos Rodriguez: Lands on injured list
Rotowire
The Brewers placed Rodriguez on the 15-day injured list Monday due to a right shoulder impingement, MLB.com reports.
Milwaukee optioned Rodriguez to Triple-A Nashville on May 31, but he hadn't made an appearance since being demoted and has now been moved to the IL retroactive to that date. Rodriguez will be eligible for activation June 15, but whenever he's reinstated, Milwaukee is likely to option him back to Triple-A.

Brewers' Carlos Rodriguez: Back with big club
Rotowire
The Brewers recalled Rodriguez from Triple-A Nashville on Sunday.
Rodriguez appeared in two April games before being sent down to Triple-A, but the right-hander will get another chance with the big club after Robert Gasser was optioned to Nashville.

The Brewers optioned Rodriguez to Triple-A Nashville on Friday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Brewers' Carlos Rodriguez: Sent back down
Rotowire
The Brewers optioned Rodriguez to the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Sunday.
Milwaukee needed to open up a pair of roster spots for Trevor Megill (elbow) and DL Hall (oblique) to return from the injured list, and Rodriguez found himself on the wrong side of the cut line. The 23-year-old will look to stay fresh at the Brewers' spring training complex now that the minor-league season is complete. Rodriguez appeared in four games with Milwaukee in 2025, posting a 6.52 ERA and an 11:9 K:BB over 9.2 innings.

Brewers' Carlos Rodriguez: Returns to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Brewers optioned Rodriguez to Triple-A Nashville on Sunday.
Rodriguez was called up by Milwaukee on Wednesday and will return to Triple-A after giving up four runs over three frames out of the bullpen during Saturday's 7-1 loss to the Giants in his second MLB appearance of the season. He's now surrendered seven runs across his two long-relief outings for Milwaukee.

Brewers' Carlos Rodriguez: Back in action at Triple-A
Rotowire
Rodriguez (forearm) has struck out eight batters and allowed seven earned runs on seven hits and five walks over seven innings in two appearances since being reinstated from Triple-A Nashville's 7-day injured list July 23.
Rodriguez was on the shelf for just under two months due to a right forearm strain. The 23-year-old right-hander possesses a spot on the Brewers' 40-man roster, but given the rustiness he's displayed since returning from the IL in addition to Milwaukee's ample rotation depth, Rodriguez is unlikely to be in the mix for starts at the big-league level anytime soon.

Brewers' Carlos Rodriguez: Diagnosed with forearm strain
Rotowire
Rodriguez has been diagnosed with a flexor strain in his right arm but has resumed throwing in Arizona, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Rodriguez was removed from his start with Triple-A Nashville in late May after experiencing discomfort in his right arm. The good news for the 23-year-old is that he has been cleared to resume throwing, which indicates that the injury is not severe enough to result in a lengthy absence on the IL. Rodriguez is 3-2 across 11 games (10 starts) in Triple-A this season with a 2.64 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 51:18 K:BB across 47.2 innings.

Brewers' Carlos Rodriguez: Set for big-league start this week
Rotowire
The Brewers are expected to promote Rodriguez from Triple-A Nashville later this week to make a start during the club's four-game series in Pittsburgh that begins Thursday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Milwaukee optioned Tobias Myers to Triple-A Nashville on Sunday, and neither Aaron Civale (hamstring) nor Jose Quintana (shoulder) are expected to be activated from the injured list until next week, so Rodriguez looks on track to fill the open spot in the big-league rotation. Rodriguez reached the majors for the first time in 2024 and labored over his three starts with the Brewers, submitting a 7.30 ERA and 1.78 WHIP across 12.1 innings. However, the 23-year-old righty has been excellent through his nine starts with Nashville this season (1.99 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, 49:15 K:BB in 45.1 innings), and his presence on the 40-man roster looks like it will play a factor in him getting a call-up over right-hander Jacob Misiorowski.

Brewers' Carlos Rodriguez: Sent down to minors
Rotowire
The Brewers optioned Rodriguez to Triple-A Nashville on Monday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Rodriguez might not have made the Opening Day roster no matter how well he pitched this spring, but he didn't do himself any favors in getting touched up for eight runs over 4.2 frames in Cactus League action. The 23-year-old will represent rotation depth at Nashville.

Brewers' Carlos F. Rodriguez: Drops second straight start
Rotowire
Rodriguez (0-2) took the loss against the Angels on Monday, allowing five runs (four earned) on five hits and two walks while striking out three batters over 4.2 innings.
Rodriguez's second big-league outing went about as poorly as his first -- he gave up two fewer hits but twice as many earned runs while failing to complete five frames. The right-hander did make it through two innings unscathed, but he was stung by a three-run third before serving up a two-run homer in the fourth. Rodriguez has given up six earned runs across 8.1 frames over his two starts, and he could be pushed back to the minors if Jakob Junis (shoulder) returns to the big club this week, as expected.

Brewers' Carlos F. Rodriguez: Expected to debut Tuesday
Rotowire
The Brewers are expected to select Rodriguez's contract from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday and have him start against the Blue Jays in Milwaukee, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Desperate for starters with Joe Ross (back), Robert Gasser (elbow), Jakob Junis (shoulder) and DL Hall (knee) all on the injured list, the Brewers will call upon the 22-year-old Rodriguez to fill the opening in their rotation created by Aaron Ashby's demotion to Triple-A. Rodriguez has spent all season with Nashville and got off to a rough start, but he has turned in a 2.83 ERA and 0.89 WHIP through 35 innings since the beginning of May. The right-hander will be making his MLB debut against a Blue Jays offense that currently ranks 20th in the majors with a .680 OPS.
