Elmer Rodriguez allowed three runs through 4 2/3 innings Tuesday against the Rangers.

Rodriguez gave up six hits, walked four and struck out two. He left with the bases loaded in the fifth, but Brent Headrick was able to strike out Sam Haggerty to escape the jam. This leaves Rodriguez with a 5.19 ERA in his little two-start audition. With Carlos Rodón set to rejoin the rotation next time through, Rodriguez could be sent down prior to Wednesday’s game.
