Julio Rodríguez Fantasy Stats

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez (leg) is serving as the designated hitter and will bat second for the team's game on Wednesday at home against the visiting Cincinnati Reds and right-hander Brady Singer, per MLB.com. Rodriguez was hit in the leg by a throw while running to first base on Monday night in the series opener against the Reds and was held out on Tuesday as a precaution, although he eventually entered the game and homered last night. The 25-year-old Dominican outfielder should be returned to starting fantasy lineups in all leagues now that he's recovered from his minor leg injury. The three-time All-Star and former American League Rookie of the Year in 2022 is currently hitting .258/.321/.426 with a .746 OPS, 15 home runs, 43 RBI, 48 runs scored, and 12 stolen bases in 91 games across 393 plate appearances in 2026. A third 30-30 season might not be in the cards for J-Rod this year due to injuries, but he is still a no-brainer must-start in all leagues when he's active. Rodriguez has struggled so far in July, going 3-for-13 with a homer, three RBI, two runs, two walks, and four strikeouts in just five games played after missing some time while on the concussion injured list.

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.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez (hamstring) was removed from Monday night's game early against the Cincinnati Reds as a precaution after he was hit by the ball and the jarring from hitting first base while running full speed, according to Tim Booth of The Seattle Times. Manager Dan Wilson said there wasn't concern about a strain. Rodriguez went 1-for-3 at the plate with an RBI and a strikeout before Victor Robles replaced him in center field. The 25-year-old Dominican All-Star just returned from the concussion injured list over the weekend, so fantasy managers have to be pretty frustrated to see him pulled from the game just a few days later with another injury. The good news is that it doesn't appear to be a serious injury, and he could be back in the starting lineup as early as Tuesday in Seattle. The three-time All-Star is batting .256/.320/.417 with a .737 OPS, 14 home runs, 42 RBI, 12 steals, and 47 runs scored in 90 games across 391 plate appearances. J-Rod is a must-start when he's in Seattle's starting nine.

The Seattle Mariners announced that they reinstated outfielder Julio Rodriguez (concussion) from the seven-day concussion list on Saturday and designated infielder/outfielder Miles Mastrobuoni for assignment in a corresponding move. Rodriguez is serving as the designated hitter and will bat second in his return to the starting lineup against the visiting San Francisco Giants and right-hander Logan Webb. Fantasy managers will want to throw J-Rod back into their starting lineups immediately as a five-category contributor. The 25-year-old three-time All-Star and two-time Silver Slugger winner will return for the second half of the season with a .259/.323/.424 slash line, .747 OPS, 14 home runs, 40 RBI, 46 runs scored, and 12 steals across his 344 at-bats. Since June 1, he has gone 25-for-101 (.248) with two homers, two doubles, 10 RBI, 14 runs scored, and seven stolen bases in 27 games and 115 plate appearances. Rodriguez has only faced Webb three times in his career and has gone hitless with an RBI.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez (concussion) didn't return from the seven-day concussion injured list on Friday for the first game of the second half of the season against the San Francisco Giants, but he said he's "trending" in the right direction after going through a full pre-game workout on Friday that included agility drills, throwing, and swings off the Trajekt machine, according to Daniel Kramer of MLB.com. Rodriguez could come off the IL as early as Saturday in Seattle. "Super encouraged," general manager Justin Hollander said. "Obviously, you don't want to mess around with head injuries, and they all sort of come in different forms and feel differently for different guys over a period of time. I do think it's been a noticeable trend up for Julio over the course of the week." He's been out since July 2 after taking a throw to the back of his helmet while running the bases. The 25-year-old five-tool outfielder will be a must-start when he returns to the M's lineup, hopefully this weekend. Before getting hurt, J-Rod was batting .259/.323/.424 with a .747 OPS, 14 long balls, 40 RBI, 46 runs, and 12 stolen bases across his 344 at-bats.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez (concussion) remains on the seven-day concussion injured list for the start of the second half of the season in the team's series finale on Friday against the San Francisco Giants, according to MLB.com. Victor Robles is making the start in center field and will bat eighth for the M's against Giants right-hander Landen Roupp. Rodriguez has been on the shelf with a concussion since July 3, but he could be reinstated by Seattle during the team's homestand to begin the second half. The 25-year-old Dominican center fielder should remain stashed in an IL spot in all fantasy baseball leagues while he recovers from his head injury. When healthy, J-Rod, a three-time All-Star and two-time Silver Slugger winner, can contribute in all five categories. He finished the first half of 2026 with a .259/.323/.424 slash line, .747 OPS, 14 home runs, 40 RBI, 46 runs scored, and 12 stolen bases across his 344 at-bats. Rodriguez is a rare offensive talent who already has two 30-30 campaigns in his first four years in the majors.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez (concussion) is not expected to return from the seven-day concussion injured list to play this weekend against the Tampa Bay Rays, but the hope is that he'll be ready to go coming out of next week's All-Star break, according to Shannon Drayer. The Mariners are going to wait a bit longer to bring J-Rod back, even though he's eligible to return from the IL for Friday's series opener versus Tampa. The left-handed-hitting Luke Raley will continue to patrol center field for the M's when they face right-handed pitchers until Rodriguez returns. Before suffering a head injury, the 25-year-old Rodriguez was slashing .259/.323/.424 with a .747 OPS, 14 home runs, 40 RBI, 46 runs scored, and 12 stolen bases in 87 games played across 378 plate appearances in his fifth year in the big leagues. The three-time All-Star and former American League Rookie of the Year is a five-category contributor and has the ability to carry fantasy teams in the second half if he can stay together and get on a nice run.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez (head) is expected to be placed on the seven-day concussion injured list on Friday, according to Daniel Kramer of MLB.com. The Mariners haven't made an official roster move yet, but utility man Miles Mastrobuoni has a locker at T-Mobile Park in Seattle and is likely to be called up from Triple-A Tacoma as the corresponding roster move. Victor Robles (forearm) replaced Rodriguez on Thursday in the game against the division-rival Los Angeles Angels after Rodriguez was hit in the helmet by a throw, but he was forced to leave early as well with a right-forearm injury. If Robles is unavailable to return on Friday, either Mastrobuoni or Weston Wilson will likely enter the starting lineup in Seattle's outfield, with Luke Raley most likely sliding over to center field. It's unclear if Rodriguez will be able to rejoin the M's before the All-Star break in mid-July. The five-category producer should be stashed in all fantasy leagues while he recovers. He's currently hitting .259/.323/.424 with a .747 OPS, 14 homers, 40 RBI, 46 runs, and 12 stolen bases in his 344 at-bats in 2026.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez (head) was removed from Thursday's game early against the division-rival Los Angeles Angels to begin the top of the third inning, shortly after taking a throw off the back of his helmet, according to Daniel Kramer of MLB.com. Victor Robles took over for him in center field. Before leaving, J-Rod walked in his only plate appearance. The Mariners will most likely put him through the concussion protocol, so fantasy managers will want to check back later on or early Friday morning for an update. For now, we'll consider the 25-year-old three-time All-Star as day-to-day. Rodriguez came into Thursday's contest with a .259/.321/.424 slash line, .745 OPS, 14 home runs, 40 RBI, 46 runs scored, and 12 stolen bases in his 344 at-bats for Seattle. The five-category fantasy contributor is rostered in 99% of Yahoo leagues for a reason, and he's a must-start in all formats when he's active. Rodriguez is currently riding a seven-game hitting streak in which he's gone 12-for-29 (.414) with three RBI, two stolen bases, and four runs scored. UPDATE: Rodriguez is in the concussion protocol and will be re-evaluated on Friday.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez (hamstring) is starting in center field and is batting third for the M's in Friday's series opener against the visiting Boston Red Sox and left-hander Ranger Suarez, according to MLB.com. Rodriguez was pulled from Wednesday's game early against the Baltimore Orioles after tweaking his hamstring, and he sat out of the series finale at T-Mobile Park on Wednesday, but now that he's back in there, fantasy managers will want to return him to their starting lineups for the weekend series in Seattle against the BoSox. The 25-year-old three-time All-Star and former American League Rookie of the Year comes into Friday's series opener with a .249/.310/.429 slash line, .739 OPS, 13 long balls, 35 RBI, 40 runs scored, and nine stolen bases across his 301 at-bats in 2026. J-Rod has struggled so far in June, going 11-for-58 (.190) with just one homer, two doubles, five RBI, four steals, eight runs, seven walks, and 13 K's in 66 plate appearances. However, he's hitting .833 with a 2.000 OPS in six career at-bats against Suarez.
