Three hits, stolen base Rodriguez went 3-for-5 with one RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's loss to the Athletics.

Impact Rodriguez padded his case for Rookie of the Year as he recorded three more hits and stole his 23rd bag of the season, good for third in the AL. The outfielder has settled nicely in the leadoff spot, improving his season-long slash line to .274/.332/.474. He should continue finding plenty of run-scoring opportunities hitting in front of Ty France and Mitch Haniger.

Impact Rodriguez struck out in his first two at-bats before singling in the sixth and eighth and capping a five-run ninth with a two-run shot. The trio of hits snapped a 16 at-bat hitless stretch spanning four games while the long ball was the 21-year-old's 19th, putting him one shy of becoming the first 20-20 club member this season. Rodriguez is slashing .270/.331/.476 with 59 runs, 62 RBI and 21 stolen bases in 101 games.

Activated from injured list Rodriguez (wrist) was activated from the injured list Thursday, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

Impact Rodriguez spent a near minimum stint on the injured list with a wrist contusion. He didn't experience pain after hitting in the cage Wednesday and is set to return as the Mariners' leadoff hitter Friday against the Rangers. Jarred Kelenic was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma in the corresponding move.

Impact The 21-year-old was unable to be activated Wednesday since he experienced some soreness after swinging in the cage Monday, but the recent batting session puts him on track to return against the Rangers this weekend. Assuming he's able to avoid any setbacks, Rodriguez appears likely to be back in the lineup for the Mariners on Friday.

Impact Wednesday would represent the first day Rodriguez is eligible to return from the 10-day injured list, but the Mariners could take a more cautious approach with the star rookie and bring him back following Thursday's off day before the team opens a series on the road with the Rangers next weekend. Regardless, fantasy managers appear poised to get the 21-year-old back soon, as he's seemingly experienced no setbacks since being deactivated last Sunday with a bruised right wrist. Once Rodriguez is officially activated, Jarred Kelenic will likely be optioned to Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move.

Angling for minimum-length IL stay Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto said Thursday that Rodriguez (wrist) is about six days out from returning from the 10-day injured list, Maura Dooley of Seattle Sports 710 AM...

Impact Assuming Rodriguez continues to progress from his bruised right wrist as the Mariners anticipate, that six-day timeline would put the All-Star outfielder on track to come off the injured list when first eligible next Wednesday, when the team wraps up a series with the Yankees. Dylan Moore (back) is also trending toward a return from the 10-day injured list in the middle of next week, while Mitch Haniger (ankle) could be activated from the 60-day IL as soon as this weekend. The Mariners will thus soon have their outfield back to full strength as they look to chase down one of the American League's three available wild-card spots.
