Eduardo Rodriguez - Page 5 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Struggles in return Rodriguez (4-5) allowed five runs on six hits across four innings to take the loss Wednesday against the Athletics. He had no walks and struck out seven.

Impact Making his first start since May 28 due to a finger injury, Rodriguez was understandably a bit rusty as he turned in his shortest outing of the season. A pair of home runs did the most damage against the lefty, including a two-run shot by Ryan Noda in the first inning. Despite the poor result, it was just good to see Rodriguez out there, and the seven strikeouts are an encouraging sign. He'll carry a strong 2.64 ERA into his next start, which could come July 14 against the Mariners when Detroit returns to action after the All-Star break.

Impact Reliever Garrett Hill was optioned to Triple-A Toledo to clear room on the 26-man active roster for Rodriguez, who will be making his first start for the big club since May 28 after missing the past five weeks due to a left index finger pulley rupture. Prior to being activated, Rodriguez made a rehab start last Thursday at Triple-A Toledo and tossed 58 pitches over 4.1 scoreless frames, so he could be in store for a light workload restriction Wednesday as he re-enters the big-league rotation.

Confirmed for Wednesday Rodriguez (finger) will be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

Impact After returning Matt Manning from the 60-day IL last week, the Tigers will get two more reinforcements to the rotation in the final week before the All-Star break. Tarik Skubal (elbow) will return from the 60-day IL to start Tuesday's series opener, while Rodriguez returns from a five-week absence to take the hill Wednesday. Before being shelved with a ruptured pulley in his left index finger, Rodriguez had been putting together a Cy Young Award-worthy campaign, cobbling together a 2.13 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 67:16 K:BB in 67.2 innings through his first 11 starts. The veteran southpaw looked sharp in his lone minor-league rehab start last Thursday with Triple-A Toledo, striking out four over 4.1 scoreless frames while scattering three hits and one walk.

In line for Wednesday return The Tigers are planning on having Rodriguez (finger) start Wednesday against Oakland, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Impact Rodriguez has been on the injured list since May 30 with a left index finger pulley rupture and began throwing June 6. He made a rehab start with Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, throwing 4.1 scoreless innings while giving up three hits and striking out four batters. The 30-year-old lefty has been spectacular this season with a 2.13 ERA and 0.98 WHIP across 67.2 innings and is set to face one of baseball's worst offenses in his return.

Impact Rodriguez has been sidelined since May 30 but managed his first rehab outing and threw 58 pitches. He generated only four swinging strikes, though he also drew 12 called strikes. It's likely that Rodriguez will make one more start in the minors, though the team could activate him for his next turn through the rotation and monitor his pitch count closely in his first appearance.

JUNE 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Rehab start coming Thursday Rodriguez (finger) will make a rehab start Thursday for Triple-A Toledo, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact After everything went well during his live batting practice session Saturday, Rodriguez will now officially move onto beginning a rehab assignment. The 30-year-old lefty has been out for nearly a month, so it's possible the Tigers keep him in the minors for more than one rehab start.

JUNE 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Encouraged by live BP Rodriguez (finger) felt "fantastic" following his live batting practice session Saturday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Rodriguez threw about 50 pitches over three simulated innings during Saturday's session, per Chris McCosky of The Detroit News. There didn't seem to be any issues with Rodriguez's performance, so now the next step figures to be a rehab assignment before potentially returning to Detroit's rotation in early July.

Slated for live batting practice Rodriguez (finger) will throw live batting practice Saturday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact It will be the first time Rodriguez has faced hitters since he landed on the injured list late last month with a ruptured A4 pulley in his left index finger. Assuming he gets through Saturday's session with no issues, Rodriguez could be ready for a rehab assignment soon.

JUNE 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Throws bullpen session Rodriguez (finger) threw a bullpen session Friday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact It was the first mound workout for Rodriguez since he suffered a ruptured A4 pulley in his left index finger in late May. There's no exact timetable yet for his return to Detroit's rotation, but the 30-year-old southpaw has trended in an encouraging direction since he resumed throwing on flat ground June 6. An early-July target for activation seems achievable as long as he can avoid setbacks.

JUNE 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Increasing throwing intensity Rodriguez (finger) has been increasing the intensity of his flat-ground throwing sessions, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Working his way back from a ruptured A4 pulley in his left index finger, Rodriguez began a throwing program a week ago and has been ramping things up slowly but surely. He hasn't been cleared for mound work yet, but that would seem to be around the corner. The left-hander could rejoin the Tigers' rotation sometime around the beginning of July, although that's a rough timetable.

JUNE 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Plays catch Tuesday Rodriguez (finger) played catch after being cleared to do so Tuesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Tuesday marks the first time Rodriguez has thrown since landing on the 15-day injured list last week. His quick return to throwing is a positive sign; however, he likely still has a long recovery process ahead of him after being given a 6-to-8 week timeline Saturday.

JUNE 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Seeing finger specialist Rodriguez will visit a finger specialist in Philadelphia on Tuesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Rodriguez is dealing with a ruptured A4 pulley in his left index finger. The initial expectation is that he'll likely be sidelined 6-to-8 weeks with the injury, but it would appear he's receiving another opinion before determining the best course of action.

Could miss six-plus weeks Rodriguez, who is on the 15-day injured list with a a ruptured A4 pulley in his left index finger, could be facing a six-to-eight week absence, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic rep...

Impact Stavenhagen spoke with Dr. David Hay, an orthopedic hand and wrist surgeon, about the rare injury and Hay's estimation was that Rodriguez could need 10-to-14 days of serious rest, followed by two-to-four weeks of light recovery, usually with a taped finger, and on the whole it could be six-to-eight weeks before he is throwing at high intensity. Hay noted that without seeing Rodriguez's MRI, the timeline could vary, although Stavenhagen cited similar injuries to Adam Wainwright in 2008 and Randy Dobnak in 2021 that both resulted in 10-week absences.

JUNE 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lands on IL with finger injury Rodriguez was placed on the 15-day injured list by the Tigers on Tuesday with a left index finger injury, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Impact Rodriguez threw 100 pitches over six innings of one-run ball against the White Sox on Sunday and offered no hint of any physical issue at the time, so this news seems to come out of nowhere. He will be sidelined for at least a couple weeks and the Tigers have not revealed who will replace him in the rotation. Rodriguez boasts a 2.13 ERA across 11 starts this season.

MAY 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Looks sharp in no-decision Rodriguez allowed one run on five hits across six innings and did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 10-inning win over the White Sox. He walked two and struck out six.

Impact Rodriguez pitched well and left the game in line for the win with the Tigers up 4-1, but the White Sox scored four times in the seventh inning to saddle him with a no-decision. The lefty still took a step forward after allowing six earned runs across 10 total innings in his last two starts. Rodriguez lowered his ERA to a stellar 2.13 and will look to build on this strong outing his next time out, which will likely come next weekend against this same Chicago squad.

MAY 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Takes another loss Rodriguez (4-4) allowed four runs (two earned) on eight hits across five innings to take the loss Tuesday against the Royals. He walked two and struck out nine.

Impact For the second straight outing, Rodriguez allowed four total runs over five innings, and he took the loss in both contests. The lefty still has been good overall with a 2.19 ERA and 61 strikeouts across 61.2 innings, though he looks to be coming back to the pack a bit after a dominant stretch between mid-April and mid-May. Rodriguez is slated to take the mound again this weekend against the White Sox and will look to regain his sharper form.

MAY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Stumbles against Pittsburgh Rodriguez (4-3) took the loss Wednesday, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks over five innings against the Pirates. He struck out five.

Impact Rodriguez matched a season high with four runs allowed Wednesday after he'd allowed just two runs over his previous six starts (41.2 innings). The 30-year-old left-hander still sports a sparkling 2.06 ERA with a 0.86 WHIP and 52:12 K:BB through 56.2 innings this season. Rodriguez will look to get back on track in his next outing, tentatively scheduled for next week in Kansas City.

Dominant again Wednesday Rodriguez (4-2) earned the win Wednesday, allowing no runs on four hits and two walks over seven innings in a 5-0 victory over the Guardians. He struck out eight.

Impact It's the third consecutive win for Rodriguez as he extended his scoreless inning streak to 17.2 innings. The 30-year-old left-hander has been excellent after two mediocre outings to start the year, allowing just two earned runs over his last six starts (41.2 innings). His ERA is down to 1.57 -- third among qualified pitchers -- with a 0.78 WHIP and 47:10 K:BB. Rodriguez has emerged as one of fantasy baseball's biggest surprises so far this season.
