Already swinging hot bat Rodriguez is hitting .400 (4-for-10) with a solo home run and a walk through his first four Cactus League games.

Impact The reigning AL Rookie of the Year appears poised to avoid a sophomore slump if early returns are any indication. Rodriguez has hit safely in each of his first four exhibitions, and his first round tripper of spring Wednesday against the Cubs seems to corroborate he's suffering no aftereffects from the collision with the outfield wall he sustained in Monday's game against the White Sox.

Fine after collision Rodriguez said that he was completely fine after colliding with the outfield wall during Monday's Cactus League game against the White Sox, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports...

Impact Rodriguez got jammed up against the wall while attempting to rob a homer on Monday, and while he stayed in the game initially, he was subbed out in favor of Cade Marlowe an inning later. The 21-year-old stated that he jammed his right arm and got the wind knocked out of him, but no injury was suffered. Rodriguez is one of the most exciting young talents in baseball, and everyone can breathe a sigh of relief that his exit was just precautionary.

What can we expect in 2023 from the Mariners' Julio Rodríguez? 'More of the same' Rodríguez set a high bar in his record-breaking rookie season, but Scott Servais says, "I think there’s still a lot that he can learn."

Could run more this season Rodriguez could run more this season, Mariners manager Scott Servais told Corey Brock of The Athletic on Friday.

Impact Just four of Rodriguez's 25 stolen bases in his rookie season came after the All-Star break. Part of that was health related, as he dealt with wrist and back issues, and part was pitchers simply paying more attention to him. However, Servais noted Friday that stealing bases is "a big part of [Rodriguez's] game." J-Rod also figures to be one of countless players to benefit from the league's new pickoff throw limits and bigger bases.

Dealing with fractured fingertip GM Jerry Dipoto revealed Wednesday that Rodriguez finished the season playing through a fractured fingertip, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

Impact The rookie outfielder spent time on the 10-day injured list down the stretch with a lower-back sprain, and he apparently also picked up the finger injury at some point. The issue isn't a serious concern, and he should be ready for the start of spring training in February. Rodriguez is the favorite to be named AL Rookie of the Year after he posted a .284/.345/.509 slash line with 28 home runs, 75 RBI and 25 stolen bases in 132 games during 2022.
