The Toronto Blue Jays bullpen has dealt with it's fair share of issues this season but one bright spot has been relief pitcher Yariel Rodriguez.
The
Blue Jays cannot seem to catch a break when it comes to injuries in their bullpen which is why having certain pitchers step up their game has been crucial to their current winning streak.
The Blue Jays owe a lot to their current place in the standings to Yariel Rodriguez
Rodriguez was off to a rough start this season but has since completely turned things around as he is now one of their most reliable pitchers in the bullpen with a 2.25 ERA in 52 innings pitched.
The Toronto Blue Jays have dealt with so many injuries in their bullpen and it has led to inconsistent results throughout the season. Over this incredible stretch this team has been on, one guy has stood out as the most consistent arm. Yariel Rodriguez. -Dionis
After last night's win over the Detroit Tigers, the Blue Jays are currently the best team in the MLB and Rodriguez has been a big part of that due to how well he has been pitching.
If it weren't for Rodriguez, it is tough to say where this team would be right now. Yimi Garcia and Nick Sandlin have not been able to stay healthy, and they were expected to be two very important relievers to this team. Chad Green has also fallen off a bit despite his fluke ERA of 3.73. This bullpen has been inconsistent at times and Rodriguez has stablized it completely. -Dionis
There has been speculation of Rodriguez possibly returning to the starting rotation but seeing that he struggled in that role last season, they might be better off keeping him in the bullpen.
There has been speculation about who might replace all the one year guys in the rotation next season and Rodriguez has been a name thrown around. -Dionis
Toronto owes a lot to Rodriguez this season since all of their injuries, he has been one of the players that has stepped up in a major way.
