Carpenter was originally drafted in the second round of the 2006 draft by the Philadelphia Phillies.

Rodriguez made his Triple-A and Bisons debut last night. He tossed 4.1 innings of one-run baseball in a no-decision against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. In 31 games with Binghamton this season, the righty is 2-2 with a 3.04ERA and 69 strikeouts in 68.1 innings of work. He made three spot starts for the B-Mets.
