Julio Rodriguez Sitting Out With Leg Injury Against Reds
Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez (leg) is being held out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's contest against the visiting Cincinnati Reds at T-Mobile Park, according to MLB.com. Victor Robles is making the start in center field and will bat seventh against Reds right-hander Chase Burns on Tuesday. Rodriguez will be held out as a precaution after being hit by a throw from the shortstop on his leg during Monday's game. The good news is that manager Dan Wilson said after Monday's game that he's not really worried about J-Rod's health, so there's a good chance he'll be right back in the starting lineup on Wednesday. Still, it's annoying for fantasy managers after the 25-year-old Dominican recently returned from a stay on the seven-day concussion injured list. The three-time All-Star and former American League Rookie of the Year has been a 20-20 man in all four of his big-league seasons, and he's reached the hallowed 30-30 mark twice. Rodriguez is a must-start when active and is currently slashing .256/.320/.417 with a .737 OPS, 14 home runs, 42 RBI, 47 runs, and 12 stolen bases in 90 games across 391 plate appearances in 2026.
