Brendan Rodgers Fantasy Stats

The Boston Red Sox have re-signed infielder Brendan Rodgers (shoulder) to a two-year minor league contract, according to Chris Hatfield of SoxProspects.com. Rodgers had been in camp with the Red Sox, but he was released this past week following shoulder surgery. Now, he's back in the organization on a new deal that will allow him to rehab in 2026 before returning as a healthy depth option in 2027. It's a low-risk move that could give the Red Sox a potential bench middle infielder next year. Rodgers hasn't been a productive hitter since 2024, which was his final year with the Rockies. However, he continues to offer a right-handed bat, veteran experience, solid glovework, and defensive versatility.

The Boston Red Sox released veteran infielder Brendan Rodgers (shoulder) on Wednesday, according to Brendan Campbell of BloggingTheRedSox.com. Rodgers was in camp as a non-roster invite in spring training before suffering a right-shoulder injury earlier this month that required season-ending surgery. The 29-year-old will now rehab for all of the 2026 campaign and hope he can latch on with another team on a likely minor-league deal going into spring training of next year. The former third overall pick by the Colorado Rockies in 2015 only appeared in 43 major-league games with the Boston Red Sox in 2025, going 22-for-115 (.191) with two home runs, 11 RBI, and 12 runs scored in 128 plate appearances. Rodgers' best season came in 2021 in Colorado, when he slashed .284/.328/.470 with 15 home runs, 51 RBI, and 49 runs scored in 102 games played. Injuries have derailed his career and left him off the fantasy radar in all formats, including dynasty/keeper leagues.

Boston Red Sox second baseman Brendan Rodgers (shoulder) underwent right-shoulder labral revision surgery, which was performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, according to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com. Rodgers was back in camp on Tuesday in a brace. The 29-year-old was potentially looking at a platoon role at the keystone in 2026 in his first year in Boston, but he suffered a season-ending shoulder injury during a spring training game last month. The former third overall pick by the Colorado Rockies in 2015 spent the first six years of his MLB career in Colorado before hitting just .191/.266/.278 with two home runs, 11 RBI, and 12 runs scored in only 43 games for the Houston Astros in 2025. With Rodgers officially out for the entire 2026 campaign, Marcelo Mayer (knee) will most likely see most of the playing time at second for the BoSox.

Boston Red Sox infielder Brendan Rodgers (shoulder) got discouraging MRI results back on his injured shoulder, prompting him to seek a second opinion. The 29-year-old is expected to see Dr. Neal ElAttrache, but manager Alex Cora has already stated that he anticipates that the right-handed slugger is going to need surgery. The former first-rounder was competing for a roster spot this spring, however, it looks like he'll begin the season on the injured list. While the veteran offers some decent pop that could make him interesting for fantasy, he's off the radar until he returns to the big league lineup.

Boston Red Sox infielder Brendan Rodgers (shoulder) will have an MRI exam on his shoulder on Thursday after he was forced to leave early from Wednesday's spring training game after attempting to make a diving catch. Manager Alex Cora said, "We don't know what's going on, so we'll have more in the upcoming days." Rodgers was in camp on a minor-league contract, but he seemed to have a good chance of making the Opening Day roster if Romy Gonzalez (shoulder) is unable to recover from his injury in time. If Rodgers is also out or not at 100%, the Sox could turn to Andruw Monasterio in a utility role off the bench. Monasterio was acquired in the trade that brought Caleb Durbin to Boston from Milwaukee and has impressed in spring training so far.

Boston Red Sox second baseman Brendan Rodgers (shoulder) was forced to leave early from his team's Spring Training game on Wednesday after landing awkwardly while attempting to make a diving catch. The team has said that Rodgers is dealing with "right shoulder pain," per Tim Healey of The Boston Globe. Healey notes that Rodgers has already had surgery on both shoulders earlier in his career, so any potential shoulder ailment is particularly noteworthy. After spending his first six MLB seasons with the Colorado Rockies, Rodgers struggled in a part-time role with the Houston Astros in 2025. Across 128 plate appearances with Houston, the 29-year-old hit .191/.266/.278 with two home runs, 11 RBI, and 12 runs scored. Rodgers' strikeout rate skyrocketed to a career-worst 35.9%, although he did post an impressive 14.3% barrel rate. Boston signed Rodgers to a Minor League contract in early February, and the veteran was expected to compete for a utility job in Spring Training. If this shoulder injury keeps him out of action for an extended stretch, Rodgers may have a hard time breaking camp with the Red Sox.

The Boston Red Sox have signed infielder Brendan Rodgers to a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training, according to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com. Rodgers is a former first-round pick who was selected by the Rockies third overall in 2015. He debuted in 2019 and spent six seasons in Colorado before joining the Astros for the 2025 campaign. He struggled across 43 games in Houston, slashing .191/.266/.278 with an 8.6% walk rate and 35.9% strikeout rate. He posted just 55 wRC+ while playing replacement-level defense at second base. He'll need to really wow the front office and coaching staff this spring to make the Opening Day roster. At the moment, he's off the 40-man roster and is presumably competing for a roster spot with players like Nick Sogard, Nate Eaton, Kristian Campbell, and Mickey Gasper.

Houston Astros second baseman Brendan Rodgers (back, head) will miss the rest of the season with lumbar spine inflammation. Rodgers made what proved to be his final appearance of the season with the Astros on June 14, when he strained his left oblique and had to go on the 10-day injured list. A little over a month later, Rodgers suffered a concussion and a nasal fracture in his first Triple-A rehab game. Rodgers embarked on another rehab assignment in August, but the Astros had to shut him down a few weeks ago on account of his back issue. Between the nonstop injuries and his poor production when he was healthy, it was a brutal season for Rodgers. After opening 2025 as the Astros' starting baseman, the 29-year-old went on to play 43 games and hit .191/.266/.278 with two home runs and 11 RBI in 128 plate appearances.

Houston Astros second baseman Brendan Rodgers (head/back) is dealing with lumbar spine inflammation and has been pulled from his rehab assignment. This continues an injury-riddled season for Rodgers, who landed on the 10-day IL on June 18 with an oblique strain and has faced multiple setbacks since then. In his first Triple-A rehab game on July 18, Rodgers suffered a concussion and a nasal fracture. He had been working back from that until this latest issue cropped up. There's no timeline for Rodgers' return, which doesn't bode well with time running out on the regular season. The 29-year-old opened 2025 as the Astros' starting second baseman, but he hit a brutal .191/.266/.278 with two home runs and 11 RBI in 128 plate appearances before his injury woes began.

Houston Astros second baseman Brendan Rodgers (head) remains in concussion protocol, but he has begun light jogging and throwing. Rodgers originally went on the 10-day injured list in mid-June with an oblique strain. In his first Triple-A rehab game on July 18, he suffered more serious injuries - a concussion and a nasal fracture - after colliding with a teammate. The Astros then transferred Rodgers to the 60-day IL, meaning he won't be eligible to rejoin the club until Aug. 17. That date appears unrealistic, though, as Rodgers remains without a timetable to return. Before going on the IL, the 28-year-old hit just 191/.266/.278 with two home runs in 128 plate appearances. The Astros have used a handful of players at the keystone this season, but longtime second baseman Jose Altuve has gotten the lion's share of time there lately after opening 2025 in the outfield.
