Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez (ankle) took on-field batting practice ahead of Tuesday's series opener against the visiting Detroit Tigers. For the second time on Seattle's nine-game homestand, and following Monday's off-day, Rodriguez was on the field taking swings during pregame activities The club still doesn't have a definitive timetable on when he might be activated from the 10-day injured list, where he's resided since July 23, and there is also a possibility that Rodriguez will need a minor-league rehab assignment before rejoining the Mariners. Being able to run without any issues will be a more important checkpoint for the 23-year-old superstar center fielder, who is recovering from a high right ankle sprain. In the meantime, Victor Robles is slashing .297/.378/.432 with three home runs, six doubles, eight RBI, and 14 stolen bases in 111 at-bats in Seattle and is worth a look for fantasy managers in deep leagues.
Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez (ankle) began taking part in light baseball activities back in Seattle while the team was on a road trip through Chicago and Boston, but his timeline for a return remains unclear. It's encouraging to hear that Rodriguez has resumed baseball activities amid his recovery from a high right ankle sprain, but it's still difficult to map out any kind of expected return date for the 23-year-old fantasy superstar. Before hurting himself after leaping into the wall in center field in the July 21 game against the division-rival Houston Astros, Rodriguez had gone 17-for-40 (.425) with four home runs, three doubles, eight RBI, and one stolen base in his most recent 13 games. Victor Robles (hip) is running hot in J-Rod's stead, batting .360 (27-for-75) with two homers, six doubles, 10 runs scored, and nine steals in 33 contests with the M's this year.
Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez (ankle) will be re-evaluated at the 10-day mark after being placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday due to a right high-ankle sprain that he suffered on Sunday while trying to make a leaping grab on the center field wall against the Houston Astros. Rodriguez appears likely to be shut down from baseball activities until Aug. 1, when he's eligible to come off the IL. Initially, the M's were saying that J-Rod avoided a serious injury, but high-ankle sprains can often take a month or longer to recover from, especially at a demanding position like center field. Fantasy managers will need to be patient with the 23-year-old All-Star and keep him stashed in all leagues despite his disappointing 2024 season. For the time being with Rodriguez out, Victor Robles has become Seattle's regular center fielder.
Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez (ankle) has been placed on the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game. This is a tough blow to the Mariners after Rodriguez injured his right ankle in a collision with a wall during Sunday's game. The organization was hopeful that it was a minor ankle but that doesn't appear to be the case. Now, Rodriguez will miss at least the next 10 days with a mild ankle sprain. The Mariners have recalled outfielders Jonatan Clase and Cade Marlowe to help fill the void. It'll likely be a committee approach in center field which won't give any of these players much fantasy appeal. Victor Robles figures to see the most time in center field and he is more known for his defense on the field.
Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez (ankle) is not in the team's starting lineup for Monday's series opener against the visiting division-rival Los Angeles Angels. Rodriguez nearly made a fantastic catch up against the outfield wall on Sunday but instead sprained his right ankle. The good news for the M's and fantasy managers is that J-Rod's X-rays came back negative, and the 23-year-old is being considered day-to-day. Fantasy managers will want to check back to see if he's available to play on Tuesday in Game 2 of the series. For now, it looks like Rodriguez has a shot to avoid a trip to the injured list. In Rodriguez's place on Monday, Victor Robles will start in center field and bat second against Angels left-hander Tyler Anderson. In eight career at-bats versus Anderson, the light-hitting Robles is batting .125 with a .425 OPS.UPDATE: Rodriguez had an MRI exam on Monday (results still pending) and remains day-to-day. Manager Scott Servais said J-Rod avoided a serious injury.
