The 22-year-old striker, who scored 19 goals in 71 games for the Uruguayuan outfit over three years, leaves his hometown club for an undisclosed fee and will be a part of the first-team squad this season.
Martinez is excited by Rodriguez's potential and has compared him to another summer signing - Mason Holgate from Barnsley - though he expects the South American to make an immediate impact on the squad.
"He's a young talent - one of those elite, talented youngsters who we like to bring in," Martinez told the club's official website.
"Mason Holgate is a clear example of a really strong, young English defender and Leandro Rodriguez is a young striker with a real knack of scoring goals.
