Eduardo Rodriguez Stats

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez (rib) threw from 60-70 feet on Thursday. After the throwing session, Rodriguez reported no symptoms. Tigers beat writer Cody Stavenhagen reports that Rodriguez will still need to do some "more intense throwing," but then after that, the Tigers hope he can "jump right into volume" while pitching from the mound. The Tigers' rotation has been ravaged by injuries, so it's good news for the team that Rodriguez hasn't had any setbacks thus far in his recovery from a rib injury. Over eight starts on the season, the 29-year-old is 1-3 with a 4.38 ERA and a 1.33 WHIP.

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez (rib) received the results from X-rays on his ribs. They came back negative for a stress reaction. E-Rod will remain shut down for the next week and the plan is for him to begin a throwing program at some point during the team's long upcoming homestand, which spans from May 26 to June 2. The 29-year-old was 1-3 with a 4.38 ERA and a 1.33 WHIP over eight starts prior to landing on the injured list. The next Tigers pitcher to enter the rotation as a fill-in starter will be Elvin Rodriguez, who is making his first career start on Monday.

The Detroit Tigers officially placed left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez (rib cage) on the 15-day injured list on Sunday with a left rib-cage sprain and recalled right-hander Elvin Rodriguez from Triple-A Toledo in a corresponding move. Elvin Rodriguez is scheduled to start on Monday against the Minnesota Twins. E-Rod's move to the IL is retroactive to May 19. He was pulled from his last start on Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Rays with left side discomfort, and the Tigers knew then that the 29-year-old southpaw would require a stint on the injured list. There is no timetable for Rodriguez's return to Detroit's starting rotation. Before the injury, he had a 4.38 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, 17 walks and 34 strikeouts in 39 innings over eight starts.
