Julio Rodriguez Likely Heading To Injured List
2 years agoSeattle Mariners rookie outfielder Julio Rodriguez (back) is likely heading to the injured list after he left the game early on Thursday with more lower back tightness. Rodriguez was headed for an MRI exam Friday after he missed three games last weekend with the same issue. Manager Scott Servais said Thursday night that he was concerned about the 21-year-old All-Star's injury, and there's now a chance we won't see the impressive youngster until the playoffs, if Seattle makes it. He has been a must-start in fantasy all year, so this is a big blow for fantasy managers down the stretch. With J-Rod out for the next two weeks, Jarred Kelenic and Sam Haggerty should see more playing time in Seattle's outfield.
