**Padres Call Up Top Relief Prospect Bradgley Rodriguez to Bolster Struggling Bullpen**
SAN DIEGO – The San Diego Padres are calling up right-handed pitching prospect Bradgley Rodriguez from Double-A San Antonio, a team source confirmed Friday. The 21-year-old Venezuelan, ranked as the Padres’ No. 13 prospect by The Athletic’s Keith Law, is considered the organization’s best relief prospect.
Rodriguez has impressed this season with a 3.22 ERA and 31 strikeouts in 22 1/3 innings for the Missions, showcasing excellent control with only five walks, none in his last 10 appearances. Signed in 2021 for $370,000, he boasts an upper-90s fastball and a plus changeup.
His promotion comes as the Padres’ bullpen seeks stability after a rough patch. Following a league-leading 1.68 ERA through May 5, the unit has struggled to a 6.78 ERA this month, the third-worst in MLB.
Rodriguez will be added to the Padres’ 40-man roster. He is the second hard-throwing reliever promoted by the Padres this week. David Morgan made his MLB debut on Monday.
