A new week of the Major League Baseball regular season ended satisfactorily with very exciting matches. However, on this occasion, negative news emerged and that is that the Dominican Julio Rodríguez went to the list of injured due to a ball he suffered in his wrist in the game against the Houston Astros.
The pitch occurred in the upper part of the eighth inning when the Dominican rookie was unable to avoid the impact of a pitch that went 97 miles per hour from one of the relievers of the sidereal group.
Fortunately for the Seattle Mariners, the X-rays performed on the outfielder returned very positive results, since he has no fractures and will only have day-to-day condition. day to know its evolution.
“I think everyone knows that the wrist, the hands, is a sensitive area when you have a bat. You have to do the right thing. May he be fully recovered when he returns”, manager Scott Servais commented.
Although the Dominican star has wanted to continue with his actions, he will not be able to swing at 100% of his conditions for at least five days due to the strong pain he has now. That is why the coaching staff has wanted to place him on the disabled list.
Finally, Rodríguez’s absence is a sensitive loss for the Seattle Mariners, because the Dominican is having a extraordinary first season at the offensive level with 18 home runs and 57 RBIs.
