Emmanuel Rodríguez (born February 28, 2003) is a Dominican professional baseball outfielder for the Minnesota Twins of Major League Baseball (MLB).
Rodríguez signed with the Minnesota Twins as an international free agent on July 2, 2019.[1] He did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] Rodríguez made his professional debut in 2021 with the rookie–level Florida Complex League Twins.
In 2022, Rodríguez played in 47 games for the Single–A Fort Myers Mighty Mussels before suffering a season-ending torn meniscus.[3]
On November 14, 2023, the Twins added Rodríguez to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft. He was optioned to the Double–A Wichita Wind Surge to begin the 2024 season.[4] In 37 games for Wichita, Rodríguez slashed .298/.479/.621 with eight home runs, 20 RBI, and nine stolen bases.[5]
