The Baltimore Orioles placed right-hander Grayson Rodriguez (lat) on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to Aug. 4) on Wednesday with right-late/teres discomfort and recalled left-hander Keegan Akin from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move. Rodriguez was scratched from his scheduled start on Tuesday due to the injury and will now miss at least the next two weeks. It's unclear if the 24-year-old will be able to come off the IL when he's eligible to return on Aug. 19, but he should be stashed in an IL spot in all fantasy leagues while we wait. Albert Suarez was used in an emergency spot start in place of Rodriguez on Tuesday and will likely take over Rodriguez's rotation spot for however long he's sidelined. Rodriguez has a league-high 13 wins in his second year in the big leagues in 2024 while also posting a 3.86 ERA and 1.24 WHIP with a 130:36 K:BB in 20 starts over 116 2/3 innings.UPDATE: Manager Brandon Hyde said Rodriguez has a mild strain, and the O's are optimistic about the timeline for recovery, although an exact timeline is still TBD.
Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Grayson Rodriguez (lat) was scratched from Tuesday's start against the division-rival Toronto Blue Jays with right lat/teres discomfort. Rodriguez threw a pregame bullpen at Rogers Centre ahead of Tuesday's game against Toronto, but he was scratched roughly 10 minutes before the first pitch, much to the dismay of fantasy managers. In his place, right-hander Albert Suarez started for the O's against the Jays. Rodriguez boasts a 3.86 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, and 130:36 K:BB to go with a 13-4 record in 116 2/3 innings over 20 starts for Baltimore this year, and this sounds like an issue that could very well lead to a stay on the injured list. For the time being, the 24-year-old former top prospect can be considered day-to-day until he's re-evaluated ahead of his next scheduled start, which tentatively lines up for Sunday's matchup at home against the division-rival Tampa Bay Rays.
Baltimore Orioles right-hander Grayson Rodriguez (undisclosed) has been scratched from his scheduled start on Tuesday in Toronto against the division-rival Blue Jays due to undisclosed reasons. Right-hander Albert Suarez was called upon to make the emergency spot start for the O's. It's unclear if Rodriguez is dealing with an injury or an illness of some sort. Fantasy managers should check back soon for an update on the 24-year-old's condition. In three starts since the All-Star break, Rodriguez has two quality starts and has allowed eight runs (seven earned) on 16 hits (two homers) while walking only five and striking out 18 in 17 innings pitched. Hopefully for fantasy managers, Rodriguez will be able to take his next turn through Baltimore's rotation. The former 11th overall pick in 2018 has a league-high 13 wins in his second year in the big leagues and a solid 26.5% strikeout rate in 20 starts.UPDATE: Rodriguez was scratched with right-lat/teres discomfort.
Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Grayson Rodriguez was sharp on the mound during Sunday's game against the Oakland Athletics. The right-hander struck out eight batters while allowing three runs over six innings of work. Rodriguez earned his 11th win of the year which ties him for the major league lead in wins. He holds a 3.52 ERA across 16 starts with the O's this season. It's a bit surprising Rodriguez didn't make the All-Star team. However, he'll have plenty of more chances throughout his career. Rodriguez will make his final start before the All-Star break against the New York Yankees on Saturday.
Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Grayson Rodriguez improved to 10-3 with a victory against the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday. Rodriguez went 6 1/3 innings and allowed two hits, no runs, four walks and struck out eight batters on the night. The four walks weren't ideal for the young ace, but he was able to get out of jams with strikeouts. Other than the walks, which haven't been an issue for Rodriguez this season, he continues to look like one of the best young arms in the game. With this outing, the right-hander will carry a 3.45 into a very favorable start against the Oakland Athletics on Sunday. Rodriguez should continued to be treated as a top pitcher in dynasty formats and a must-start in general.
