Rodríguez being optioned is not shocking. When he was recalled for Craig Yoho on Saturday, it was viewed as a temporary solution to cover some innings. He’s done that: he pitched the ninth inning of the Brewers’ 6-2 loss to the Cubs on May 3rd, then covered 3 1⁄3 innings (allowing six earned runs) in their 9-1 loss to Houston on Wednesday.
