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.

It's nothing serious, but the Mariners aren't going to take any chances with one of the best overall players in the game early in spring training. Depending on how he feels, the 23-year-old could return to Cactus League play later this week, and he should be totally fine by Opening Day. J-Rod made a statement in his sophomore season in 2023 and was an All-Star for the second straight year to begin his MLB career. As a true five-category contributor, he is a top-five fantasy asset in all formats.
