Padres Promote Rodriguez; D-Backs Add Reid-Foley

The San Diego Padres are calling up 21-year-old relief prospect Bradgley Rodriguez directly from Double-A San Antonio, marking a rare leap to the majors after he posted a 3.22 ERA, 0.90 WHIP, and 31 strikeouts with only 5 walks over 22.1 innings. Rodriguez, signed out of Venezuela in 2021, overcame injuries and is regarded for his high-velocity fastball, plus changeup, and improving control. His promotion comes amid a sharp rise in the Padres' bullpen ERA and signals confidence in his immediate impact. In a related move addressing bullpen problems, the Arizona Diamondbacks have signed former Mets right-hander Sean Reid-Foley to a minor league contract as they seek to bolster their relief corps. Both teams are making roster adjustments to address recent relief pitching struggles. Rodriguez is expected to fill a middle relief role for the Padres.
