Rodriguez was recalled from Triple-A Columbus ahead of Thursday's 7-4 extra-inning win over the Royals and went unused off the bench.

Cleveland had previously optioned Rodriguez to Triple-A on March 21, but he was added back to the active roster after the team placed five players on the injured list prior to Opening Day. The right-handed slugger could see occasional starts in right field or at designated hitter against left-handed pitching, but Jhonkensy Noel and Kyle Manzardo got the nod at those respective positions Thursday against southpaw Cole Ragans.
