Rodriguez was optioned to the Astros' alternate training site Friday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

The 23-year-old was promoted shortly after Opening Day but struggled in his first taste of the majors, allowing four runs on 10 hits over 4.2 innings. Rodriguez had previously never played above High-A, so he's unlikely to be a significant factor in Houston's bullpen plans this season.
