Jose Rodriguez News: Reinstated and non-tendered
The Phillies reinstated Rodriguez (suspension) from the ineligible list and non-tendered him Thursday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
Major League Baseball issued a one-year suspension to Rodriguez last June for violating the league's gambling policy. Now that Rodriguez's suspension has been served, the Phillies have opted to push the 24-year-old infielder out of the organization and into the open market. Rodriguez played 38 games at Double-A Reading before getting suspended last season, during which he slashed .265/.329/.422 across 164 plate appearances.
