Padres bench top reliever Rodríguez for Miller’s closer return
Bradgley Rodríguez’s 2.10 ERA couldn’t save him from the cut as San Diego activated Mason Miller, a high-stakes roster gamble.
The San Diego Padres executed a stunning roster move, optioning reliever Bradgley Rodríguez to Triple-A El Paso to clear a spot for closer Mason Miller’s return. 1 innings and ranking fifth on the club in that metric. Despite two consecutive scoreless outings to finish his stint, the Padres chose to activate Miller, who returns after a family absence.
