Rodriguez, who missed six weeks this season because of a right knee subluxation, had right knee patellofemoral ligament reconstruction. Rodriguez went 6-7 with a 4.19 ERA in 2017. He made 24 starts and one relief appearances.
Ramirez, meanwhile, underwent left shoulder arthroscopy and debridement, also performed by Dr. Andrews. Ramirez, 33, is expected to be ready for the 2018 season.
