“Rodríguez was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday”
SINGLE SOURCE
While web results confirm Elmer Rodriguez was recalled to start the Subway Series finale, the specific detail about the timing (Saturday) and the specific Triple-A team (Scranton/Wilkes-Barre) is mentioned in the context of the rotation shift, but the provided evidence for this specific claim index contains irrelevant YouTube search results. However, the 'Evidence for claim 6' section mentions he hadn't pitched since Sunday at Triple-A. There is not enough independent corroboration for the specific 'Saturday' recall date in the provided evidence blocks.
