Joely Rodriguez's recent consistent performances have not translated to success, leading the Red Sox to designate him for assignment despite better underlying metrics than his ERA suggests.
Even with a poor ERA, Rodriguez's metrics like xFIP (3.07) and SIERA (2.87) indicate a potential for better performance if he can overcome issues with men on base.
Rodriguez's career showcases a mix of average strikeout rates and exceptional ground-ball tendencies, which have historically predicted better outcomes than his ERA reflects.
The Red Sox's move to bring in Brad Keller highlights a need for a fresh arm, signaling their growing impatience with Rodriguez despite glimpses of promise.
