JULIO RODRÍGUEZ NEWS

Making 'good progress' Manager Scott Servais, via Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle, said Rodriguez "is making very good progress with both (injured) wrists."

Impact While things are moving in the right direction for Rodriguez, he still has not swung a bat since landing on the injured list, so it's not entirely clear where he stands in his recovery. As such, it's uncertain whether he will be ready to go when first eligible to be activated Aug. 10.

A wild morning of transactions leaves the Mariners' Julio Rodríguez on the IL Rodríguez was placed on the 10-day IL with a right wrist contusion after getting hit by a pitch in Saturday's game.

Goes on injured list The Mariners placed Rodriguez on the 10-day injured list ahead of Sunday's game in Houston due to a right wrist contusion, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Rodriguez is the most significant of the three position players the Mariners lost to injuries in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Astros, with Ty France (wrist), Dylan Moore (back) and Sam Haggerty (forehead) also getting banged up in the contest. France will avoid the IL for now while he awaits the results of an MRI, while Haggerty is day-to-day and Moore will be deactivated along with Rodriguez. Per Divish, Rodriguez will be barred from swinging for four or five days while he waits for his right wrist to heal, but a minimum-length stay on the IL could still be a possibility. On an encouraging note, Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto told Jim Bowden of The Athletic earlier Sunday that X-rays on Rodriguez's wrist came back negative.

X-rays negative, MRI likely Rodriguez, who exited Saturday's win over the Astros after being hit on the wrist with a pitch, had X-rays come back negative per president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto, Jim...

Impact Rodriguez struck out on an eighth-inning pitch that hit him in the right wrist/hand due to the follow-through on his swing and was in visible pain immediately thereafter. The star rookie remained in the game on defense in the bottom of the eighth inning, but he was sent in for the X-rays in the ninth while Abraham Toro pinch hit for him. Despite the positive outcome on initial tests, the Mariners will apparently take it a step further with an MRI to ensure there is no significant damage. While the Mariners' official lineup for Sunday afternoon's series finale has yet to be released, it would appear likely that Rodriguez is given the afternoon off considering the likelihood of the pending MRI.

Leaves Saturday's game Rodriguez exited Saturday's game against the Astros in the ninth inning after being hit by a pitch in the wrist, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Rodriguez offered at a 97 mph sinker and the follow-through on his swing caused him to be hit by the pitch in the top of the eighth frame. He struck out and remained in the game for the bottom half of the inning before being pinch-hit for his next time up to the plate. There are no further details regarding the severity of the injury, but the Mariners will likely play it safe with Rodriguez.

Only bright spot in loss Rodriguez went 2-for-4 with an RBI double in a loss to the Astros on Friday.

Goes deep again Rodriguez went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Wednesday against the Rangers.

Impact Rodriguez powered the Mariners to victory in the seventh inning by tallying his 18th homer of the season. He's erased concerns over a wrist injury that cost him four games coming out of the All-Star break by homering in consecutive contests since his return. Rodriguez is continuing a very impressive rookie campaign and is now hitting .274/.337/.489 across 389 plate appearances.

Homers in return Rodriguez (wrist) went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in a win over the Rangers on Tuesday.

Impact Rodriguez wasted no time getting back on track after missing the Mariners' first four second-half games, slugging a 374-solo shot to left to lead off the home half of the first. The dynamic rookie has now reached safely in 20 consecutive games, and the fact he was able to play a full nine innings in center field supports the notion he's back near or at full health.

Ready to return Rodriguez (wrist) is in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers, according to Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times.

The 21-year-old jammed his wrist while sliding back into second base during Sunday's matchup against the Rangers and has been monitored since then.
