Rodriguez was placed on the family medical emergency leave list Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The nature of Rodriguez's family emergency isn't quite clear, so it's difficult to project how long he'll be away from the team. More details on that front should emerge in the next day or two, but in the meantime, the Tigers figure to mix and match Mark Lowe, Alex Wilson, and Justin Wilson in the ninth inning should any save situations arise while Rodriguez is out. The Tigers recalled Matt Boyd from Triple-A Toledo to provide some reinforcements for the bullpen while Rodriguez is away.
