Red Sox Designate Joely Rodriguez For Assignment
Briefly

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.
