Rodriguez is currently shut down with what has been termed a mild right lat strain. He’s expected to resume throwing before the end of May and will require a substantial build up before he’s ready to return. Fantasy managers in redraft leagues are probably best served to cut bait rather than attempting to wait this thing out.

Rodriguez has yet to resume throwing after being shut down last week with a mild right lat strain. The 25-year-old opened the year on the shelf with right elbow inflammation. He’s facing an extended absence and likely won’t be ready to make his season debut until sometime in the second half.

Rodriguez was shut down last week with a mild lat strain just a couple weeks after hitting the injured list with elbow inflammation. The 25-year-old righty is facing an extended absence since he’ll require a spring training style build up once he’s finally cleared to resume throwing. The only positive takeaway here is that he isn’t dealing with any structural damage, which would’ve required surgery.

Not great. Rodriguez, who opened the season on the injured list with elbow inflammation, was shut down from throwing last week after experiencing shoulder soreness and underwent an MRI that revealed a “mild” lat strain. Orioles manager Brandon Hyde added that Rodriguez has been symptom-free in recent days, but won’t resume throwing again for a few weeks. It certainly sounds like fantasy managers shouldn’t expect Rodriguez back until sometime in the second half since he’ll need a complete spring training-style build up.
