What happened: Rodriguez will be active for Friday's scheduled game in Texas after arriving from the Dodgers earlier this month. Andres Gimenez is dealing with a hamstring and is available off the bench tonight. Trey Yesavage threw a side session in Texas, and Shane Bieber is set for one Saturday.

Why it matters: The move gives Toronto another right-handed arm for a game that has not started yet while keeping Gimenez available in a limited role. It also continues a same-day pitching shuffle after Michael Lorenzen was designated for assignment before Friday game earlier Friday.

What to watch: Watch how Toronto uses Rodriguez once the game gets underway and whether Gimenez stays limited to the bench. Bieber's scheduled side session is the next checkpoint in the club's pitching picture.
