Rodriguez won't pitched as scheduled Sunday since the regular-season finale between the Yankees and Orioles has been canceled due to inclement weather and will not be rescheduled.
Rodriguez was slated to be recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to pitch in Sunday's regular-season finale, but the game has been rained out and will not be made up at a future date. Rodriguez made his major-league debut April 29 and started in six games for the Yankees, going 0-3 with a 5.40 ERA and 1.58 WHIP across 26.2 innings.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Friday that Rodriguez will pitch during Sunday's game against the Orioles, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
It's unclear whether it will be a traditional start or bulk relief appearance, but in either case Rodriguez appears set to absorb significant innings in the regular-season finale. The rookie right-hander has made six starts at the big-league level this season, posting a 5.40 ERA and 21:16 K:BB over 26.2 innings.

The Yankees optioned Rodriguez to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Padres.
Rodriguez turned in a quality start at home against the Astros on Aug. 26 and was rewarded with another start Monday against the Angels. However, he failed to build on the success from his previous outing, allowing four runs and taking the loss in Anaheim. The 23-year-old right-hander will now return to Triple-A as Will Warren slots back into the New York rotation this week against Colorado.

Rodriguez (0-3) took the loss against the Angels on Monday, allowing four runs on four hits and three walks while striking out five batters over 3.2 innings.
Rodriguez had pretty good strikeout stuff, notching 13 whiffs among his 91 pitches and fanning five batters. Aside from that, however, he endured a rough outing, and he was pulled with two outs in the fourth after giving up three runs on two singles and two hit-by-pitches in that frame. The pair of hit batsmen and three walks highlight a major control issue for Rodriguez this season -- he's walked 16 batters and plunked six across his first 26.2 big-league innings. That's not a recipe for success, and there's a good chance Rodriguez will be sent back to the minors or moved to the bullpen following Monday's defeat.

- Fantasy baseball playoff pickups: Work the waiver wire to win
The top players you should consider claiming off the fantasy baseball waiver wire this week for the fantasy playoffs.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that Rodriguez will start Monday against the Angels in Anaheim, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.
Summoned from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre last week to fill the vacant fifth spot in the rotation, Rodriguez came through with his best performance to date in the majors, yielding three runs on three hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings in a no-decision against the Astros. Though Max Fried returned from the injured list Saturday to give the Yankees five healthy starters, a doubleheader that day created a stretch of six games in five days, so Rodriguez will stick around as a temporary sixth starter. The Yankees are likely to option Rodriguez to Triple-A or shift him to the bullpen following his start Monday.
