Brendan Rodgers Could Return In August
1 year agoColorado Rockies infielder Brendan Rodgers (shoulder), who had surgery to fix the labrum in his non-throwing shoulder in spring training, did some running drills on Saturday and will begin hitting softer practice balls in the batting cage when the team reaches Cincinnati to finish their current road trip. There was doubt that Rodgers could return this season, but he has worked himself ahead of schedule and is now expected to return at some point in August. The 26-year-old has a long ways to go and isn't on the fantasy radar in single-year leagues, but he should be able to help the Rockies at some point later this year, barring a setback. The former third overall pick hasn't lived up to his draft stock through four big-league seasons, hitting .266 with 28 homers and 123 RBI in 271 total games.
