Francisco Rodriguez has been granted his release by the Phillies, the team announced Saturday.

The relief pitcher had been with Philadelphia only since late January after signing a minor-league deal, but he struggled in Grapefruit League play and did not land a spot on the opening day roster.

Rodriguez, 36, posted a 5.40 ERA this spring and was guaranteed $2.5 million if he made the roster, per ESPN.

The six-time All-Star is coming off of a shaky 2017 season with the Tigers in which he struggled and eventually was demoted from his closer role. In 28 appearances last season, Rodriguez registered a 7.82 ERA and 1.66 WHIP with 23 strikeouts and 11 walks over 25.1 innings.

He also made $130 million playing baseball. Hopefully he's still got some of that.
