Bulls right-hander pitcher Elvin Rodriguez was named the International League's Pitcher of the Week for the period of April 17-24 on Monday after his stellar outing last week in Syracuse. Rodriguez is the first Durham player to receive a weekly honor since the 2021 campaign.

Rodriguez earned the win on Friday, April 21 at Syracuse after firing seven shutout innings, yielding two hits and two walks while striking out a season-high eight batters. In four starts this season for the Bulls he owns a 2-1 record and 1.57 ERA (23.0 IP), adding 22 strikeouts compared to eight walks.

The 25-year-old enters play today pacing the International League in earned-run average, batting average against (.108) and WHIP (0.70), in addition to ranking tied for sixth in the circuit in strikeouts. The right-hander was signed by the Tampa Bay Rays as a minor league free agent on January 19, 2023.
