Tigers' Eduardo Rodriguez hoping for WBC berth to help extend his workload entering 2023

Detroit — The Tigers will certainly be counting on having lefty Eduardo Rodriguez at the top of their rotation next season. He is on the books for $14 million in 2023, after all. But there may be some uncertainty about how heavy a workload he will be able to handle.

With his three-month stay on the restricted list, he’s made just 11 starts this season. Counting an additional four rehab starts, he’s thrown 72 innings. Conservatively, he could make six more starts before the end of the season.

If he averages six innings per outing, he will log a total of 108 innings this season.
