The Rangers promoted Rodríguez to the major leagues on August 8, 2017,[2] becoming the first Wood Duck to be promoted to the major leagues.[1]. Rodriguez made his debut on August 14, 2017 in a game against the Detroit Tigers, pitching one scoreless inning. He recorded his first career strikeout against Tigers batter James McCann and struck out the next batter, Alex Presley, as well.
