It’s been a while since there was anticipation for an Angels top pitching prospect. That will change later this week when Chris Rodriguez makes his MLB debut.
Currently listed as the Halos No.4 prospect, Rodriguez made his return to the mound in spring training after not pitching since the 2019 season due to a back injury and the global pandemic. The 22-year-old has not pitched above High-A ball, but the Angels felt he was ready to make the jump to the big leagues.
