The Milwaukee Brewers announced the signing of right-handed pitcher Elvin Rodriguez, who spent all of last season pitching in Japan with the Yakult Swallows, to a big-league contract Friday. Rodriguez signed a one-year deal with a club option for 2026 with Milwaukee.

The Brewers are looking to unearth another hidden gem -- with their latest reclamation project being 26-year-old Elvin Rodriguez.

The Brewers made room for Rodríguez on the 40-man roster by designating right-handed pitcher JB Bukauskas for assignment. Bukauskas, 28, had an 0-0 record and 1.50 ERA in six relief appearances with Milwaukee last season.
