Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez is not in the team's starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Rodriguez has struggled mightily in the early going, so this off day is likely giving him a chance to reset. The 23-year-old was a fantasy star last season, but he is carrying a dismal .186/.238/.203 slash line with no home runs and 21 strikeouts to start 2024. Luke Raley will get the start in centerfield and bat eighth with Rodriguez sidelined. Raley managed to hit 19 homers last season, but he is not a recommended fantasy option on Sunday.
Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez went 0-for-1 with a pair of walks on Thursday versus the Cincinnati Reds in Cactus League action. The 23-year-old has been having a great spring and is hitting .417 with a homer, five RBI and one stolen base in just 24 at-bats. Rodriguez backed up his stellar rookie season with another strong campaign in 2023 and continues to ascend as one of the best baseball players in the world. With his ability to help with big numbers across the board, he can safely be one of the first players off the board in upcoming drafts as he should continue to add to already impressive resume.
Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez (hand) is back in the team's Cactus League lineup on Saturday against the Oakland Athletics, playing center field and batting second in the order. Rodriguez was dealing with minor inflammation on the back of his left hand in camp earlier this week and was held out for a few days in spring training action. It was never anything serious for the 23-year-old, though, and he's back in action this weekend. J-Rod will be fully ready to rock for Opening Day at the end of March and is one of the best all-around players in the game heading into just his third major-league season. Rodriguez has been an All-Star in his first two seasons and is a top-five overall fantasy selection in upcoming drafts.
Seattle Mariners manager Scott Servais said that outfielder Julio Rodriguez (hand) is likely to play in Saturday's Cactus League game against the Oakland Athletics. Rodriguez has been dealing with some left-hand inflammation in recent days, but he has been doing light baseball activities and is feeling better. The 23-year-old All-Star's injury is not serious at all, so fantasy managers considering taking him in the first couple of picks in upcoming drafts shouldn't have anything to worry about. In standard leagues in 2023, Rodriguez was the eighth-best fantasy player in his sophomore season, hitting .275/.333/.485 with an .818 OPS, 32 home runs, 103 RBI, 37 stolen bases and 102 runs scored in 654 at-bats. The Dominican outfielder can do it all.
Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez (hand) played catch for the second straight day on Tuesday and said he's feeling "all good" while recovering from minor inflammation on the back of his left hand. "He feels much, much better," manager Scott Servais said. Rodriguez was also scheduled to hit some flips in the batting cage on Tuesday in spring training, and he could return to Cactus League action later this week. There should be nothing to worry about with J-Rod, who has been an All-Star in his first two big-league seasons. He was even better in his sophomore season in 2023 and is a top-five fantasy asset as a five-category contributor for the M's and fantasy managers. Rodriguez will be ready for Opening Day.
