Los Angeles Angels pitcher Chris Rodriguez will face live hitters this week as he works his way back from shoulder surgery. (MLB.com)
Fantasy Impact:
Rodriguez underwent surgery to repair a torn capsule in his throwing shoulder prior to last season and he ended up missing the entire campaign as a result. The 24-year-old posted a quality 3.64 ERA across 15 appearances (two starts) for the Angels in 2021 at the age of 2022 and is in competition for the final spot in the club's rotation this spring. Considering the long layoff, it's most likely he begins the season in the minors before contributing to the big club later in the season.
