Julio Rodriguez Leaves Early With Lower Back Tightness
Julio Rodriguez (back) left the game early on Thursday against the Oakland Athletics with lower back tightness in the first inning. It's not a good sign for the 21-year-old All-Star, as he also missed three games over the weekend with the same issue. Seattle will be hoping to have Rodriguez for a possible postseason run, so it's unlikely that they'll rush him back for the end of the regular season. Consider him day-to-day for now. J-Rod has been worth the hype in his first big-league season, entering the day Thursday hitting .279/.341/.499 with an .840 OPS, 27 home runs, 73 RBI, 80 runs scored and 25 stolen bases in 499 at-bats. If he misses extended time, Jarred Kelenic, Dylan Moore and Sam Haggerty will fight for playing time in Seattle's outfield.
