Rodríguez was born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, and signed with the San Francisco Giants as an international free agent on July 2, 2017.[1] He made his professional debut in 2018 with the Dominican Summer League Giants. Rodríguez spent the 2019 campaign with the rookie–level Arizona League Giants, compiling a 2–6 record and 5.40 ERA with 29 strikeouts across 25 innings of work.[2] He did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[3]

In 2021 for the San Jose Giants, Rodríguez had a 6–3 win–loss record with five holds, two saves, and a 1.74 earned run average (ERA) in 62 innings pitched across 32 relief appearances, and had 101 strikeouts (14.7 strikeouts per 9 innings).[4] He held right-handed batters to a slash line of .158/.233/.188.[5] He was named a CAL post-season All Star.[1] On November 20, 2021, the Giants added Rodríguez to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.[6]

In 2022 for the High–A Eugene Emeralds, Double–A Richmond Flying Squirrels, and Triple–A Sacramento River Cats, Rodríguez was a combined 2–5 with a 4.46 ERA in 27 games (13 starts) in which he pitched 66+2⁄3 innings and struck out 97 batters (13.1 strikeouts per 9 innings).[7] He held right-handed batters to a slash line of .114/.253/.220.[8] Rodríguez spent the 2023 campaign split between the rookie–level Arizona Complex League Giants, Richmond, and Sacramento. In 45 appearances for the three affiliates, he accumulated a 4.37 ERA with 84 strikeouts across 70 innings pitched.[9]

Rodríguez was optioned to Triple–A Sacramento to begin the 2024 season.[10] On May 2, 2024, Rodríguez was promoted to the major leagues for the first time.[11]
