Julio Rodríguez Day-to-Day After Hamstring Spasms in Orioles Game

The Mariners rested their center fielder while trainers monitor his recovery because his availability matters for a thin outfield and Seattle’s tight AL West position.

Overview

  • Rodríguez left the Mariners’ 5-3 loss in Baltimore after a leaping catch when he felt hamstring spasms and manager Dan Wilson removed him as a precaution.
  • Seattle officially listed him day-to-day and held him out of the starting lineup for the series finale to give his legs a planned day of rest.
  • Reporters on site said Rodríguez ran and did agility work with trainers the following day and was described as moving well during monitoring.
  • The club has turned to internal depth — including Victor Robles, Miles Mastrobuoni and Connor Joe — while Randy Arozarena is on the injured list and Josh Naylor and Luke Raley manage separate issues.
  • Rodríguez has appeared in 75 games this season with a .249 average and 13 home runs, and his short-term recovery will affect Seattle’s lineup balance and their push in the AL West.
