Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez (ankle) is back in action for Friday's series opener against the Pittsburgh Pirates and rookie sensation Paul Skenes at PNC Park, serving as the designated hitter and batting cleanup. Victor Robles gets another start in center field and is batting leadoff. Rodriguez missed Thursday's game after aggravating a right-ankle injury on Wednesday that recently put him on the injured list. Fantasy managers have to be happy to see the 23-year-old back in the starting lineup to kick off the weekend, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to leave him on the bench against a dominant young arm. Plus, J-Rod has gone 3-for-12 with an RBI and six strikeouts in his first three games back from the IL. After hitting 32 homers, driving in 103 and stealing 37 bags in 2023 in his second year in the big leagues, Rodriguez has been a disappointment in 2024 with 11 homers, 38 RBI and 18 steals in 103 games.
Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez (ankle) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's series finale against the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park aggravating his right-ankle injury in Wednesday's extra-inning loss. It's concerning for Rodriguez after he just came off the 10-day injured list due to a right-ankle sprain this past weekend. For now, fantasy managers should consider the 23-year-old All-Star to be day-to-day, but don't be surprised if he's forced to go back on the IL. The good news is J-Rod reportedly wanted to play on Thursday, so perhaps that's an indication that his ankle injury isn't that serious. Victor Robles will start in center and bat leadoff on Thursday against Tigers right-hander Alex Faedo. Since coming off the IL on Aug. 11, Rodriguez has gone 3-for-12 with a double, RBI and six strikeouts.
Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez (ankle) left with an apparent right ankle injury in Wednesday's game against the hosting Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park. Rodriguez was able to fight off a pitch for an RBI single, but then Seattle brought in Dominic Canzone as a pinch-runner because he was in obvious pain. Rodriguez appeared to tweak his right ankle during the at-bat in the eighth inning, prompting a lengthy meeting with manager Scott Servais and head athletic trainer Kyle Torgerson. It's not what fantasy managers want to hear after Rodriguez just returned on Sunday from a lengthy absence due to a sprained right ankle. He can be deemed day-to-day ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Tigers until another update becomes available after Wednesday's contest, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him go back on the injured list to sort this issue out completely.
Seattle Mariners All-Star outfielder Julio Rodriguez (ankle) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list and put back in the starting lineup for Sunday's night's showdown against the visiting New York Mets and right-hander Luis Severino, serving as the designated hitter. Rodriguez suffered a high-ankle sprain on July 21 while making a play against the center-field fence and has been out since then. He has made consistent progress in his recovery and has tested out his ankle in recent days by running. It's unclear when J-Rod will return to center field, but his return to the lineup should give Seattle a boost at a time when they are battling the Houston Astros for the lead in the American League West. Rodriguez has had a disappointing 2024 season, but in nine games before his injury, he hit .438 with a 1.281 OPS with three home runs.
Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez (ankle) went through running exercises for the second day in a row on Thursday, including jogging the bases. Rodriguez didn't take batting practice, though. Manager Scott Servais still won't put a timeline on Rodriguez's recovery, and a return for the weekend series against the visiting New York Mets appears unlikely, according to a source. It's also possible his prognosis changes again, as the Mariners are treating it day by day. It's possible the M's could use J-Rod at designated hitter when he returns, as running and taking turns have been his biggest issue. The emergence of Victor Robles in center field in Rodriguez's absence may cause the Mariners to be more inclined to use Rodriguez at DH as well. Servais said on Tuesday that Rodriguez might need a minor-league rehab assignment, although doing so could pose further injury risk. Despite a down season, the 23-year-old is a must-start in fantasy lineups when he's healthy.
