Pirates Acquire Johnathan Rodríguez

The Pirates have acquired outfielder Johnathan Rodríguez from the Orioles, according to announcements from both clubs. Baltimore, who designated him for assignment a few days ago, receives cash considerations in return. The Bucs also reinstated catcher Endy Rodríguez from the 10-day injured list. Fellow catcher Shawn Ross has been designated for assignment to both open an active roster spot for Endy and a 40-man spot for Johnathan. The latter has been optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis. More to come. View Comments (1)
