Rodriguez was drafted as a shortstop by the Boston Red Sox in the second round of the by|1990 amateur draft. An agreement was reached a few weeks into the by|1991 season, after which he was assigned to the Class A short season Elmira Pioneers. When his new teammates greeted him at the Elmira-Corning Regional Airport, the Brooklyn native was wearing clothes that bore the New York Yankees logo.

He made his major league debut for the Red Sox in by|1995. Soon after, he was traded to the Minnesota Twins for closer Rick Aguilera. He did not pitch well for the Twins, posting a 25-32 record with the team in over three years of service. The Seattle Mariners claimed him off of waivers in May of by|1999. He played for the Mariners through the end of the by|2000 season. He played for the Cincinnati Reds in by|2001 and has not pitched in the majors since. He has a career record of 29-39 and an ERA of 5.53.
