He's a little better-equipped to handle the major league environment than a typical Rule 5 guy."[2] The announcement of Rodriguez being named to the Pirates Opening Day roster came moments after he and Ciriaco helped the team defeat the Tampa Bay Rays in a spring training game by scoring on a throwing error in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the Pirates a 5-4 victory.[3] He was designated for assignment on April 22 to make room for Brandon Wood on the roster.[4] The Cleveland Indians reacquired him on April 29 and assigned him to Triple–A Columbus.[5] However, he was traded back to Pittsburgh on June 21 for cash considerations.[6] In the Pirates minor league system, he played for the Indianapolis Indians of the IL and the Altoona Curve of the EL.
