Jose Rodriguez reenters professional baseball after a year-long suspension for betting on MLB games while with the White Sox. The Philadelphia Phillies activated him from the ineligible list and offered him a minor league contract. Previously, Rodriguez had briefly debuted in the majors as a pinch-runner. With a history of a .282 batting average and 136 stolen bases in the minor leagues, Rodriguez aims to prove that he can be more than just a bench player, making the most of his renewed opportunity in Philly.
Rodriguez made a brief MLB debut in 2023 with the White Sox and has the chance to prove himself again after his suspension for betting on baseball.
The Phillies technically non-tendered Rodriguez to bring him back on a minor league deal, signaling a fresh start for the player.
