Rodriguez (lat) threw a bullpen session at Camden Yards on Wednesday, Baltimore Banner Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's the first time the right-hander has thrown off the mound since he was diagnosed with a strained lat nearly a month ago. Rodriguez will need to face hitters at least once before being cleared for a rehab start, but that should come soon. The 24-year-old is probably still at least a couple weeks away from a return to the Orioles' rotation, but this is a big step.

Rodriguez (lat) threw from flat ground before Thursday's game against the Dodgers, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rodriguez (lat) threw from approximately 90 feet Tuesday, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rodriguez hasn't yet progressed to throwing off a mound, though beginning long toss is still a step in the right direction. The 24-year-old righty has been on the injured list since Aug. 7 with a right lat strain and is still expected to return at some point in September.

General manager Mike Elias said Saturday that Rodriguez (lat) will be shut down from throwing for 10 days and hopes Rodriguez will be back sometime in September, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rodriguez is dealing with a mild right lat strain and was placed on the IL on Wednesday. While he'll be eligible to return Aug. 19, he's not expected to be activated until September. The 24-year-old has a 3.86 ERA and 130 strikeouts over 116.2 innings this season. Albert Suarez started in Rodriguez's place Tuesday and is expected to remain in the rotation while Rodriguez is sidelined.

Manager Brandon Hyde said Wednesday that Rodriguez has been diagnosed with a mild right lat strain, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rodriguez was placed on the injured list earlier Wednesday due to what was labeled as "discomfort," but the team has now confirmed the right-hander suffered a strain following an MRI. Hyde added that he is optimistic about Rodriguez returning to the rotation relatively quickly, though the 24-year-old remains without an official timeline. Albert Suarez, who started in Rodriguez's place Tuesday against the Blue Jays, is the most likely option to fill the void in the Orioles rotation.

The Orioles placed Rodriguez on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with right lat/teres discomfort.

EDGE Analysis

Rodriguez was a late scratch from his scheduled start Tuesday versus the Blue Jays due to the injury and is now on the IL a day later. The Orioles aren't yet labeling the injury as a strain, but Rodriguez could still require more testing before a more specific diagnosis is available. He'll be eligible to return Aug. 19, but it's too soon to know whether the righty has a shot to be ready on that date. Albert Suarez pitched well as a last-minute substitution for Rodriguez on Tuesday and is likely to take his spot in the Baltimore rotation.

Rodriguez (undisclosed) is dealing with a right lat/teres discomfort, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rodriguez was scratched from his start Tuesday against Toronto at the last minute, which is now understood to be the result of some discomfort in his upper and mid back. The right-hander dealt with a similar injury in 2022 with Triple-A Norfolk, which forced him to miss time according to Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com. A timeline for his return will likely be provided following the conclusion of Tuesday's contest.

Rodriguez (undisclosed) was scratched from his start against the Blue Jays on Tuesday, Steve Melewski of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rodriguez was slated to make his third start following the All-Star break, but he's now been forced to take a seat. The 24-year-old spent a couple weeks on the injured list in May with right shoulder inflammation and it's unclear if Tuesday's absence is related to that or not. More information on his status moving forward will likely be provided in the near future, but in the meantime, Albert Suarez will draw Tuesday's start versus Toronto.

Rodriguez (13-4) earned the win Wednesday over the Blue Jays, allowing four runs (three earned) on six hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out eight.

EDGE Analysis

After a strong start to his day, Rodriguez seemed to fade a bit late, allowing a run in each of his final four frames. However, he'd ultimately hang on for his fifth win in his last eight outings. The 24-year-old right-hander has been a bit shaky recently, allowing 13 earned runs in his last 22 innings. Overall, Rodriguez sports a 3.86 ERA across 20 starts (116.2 innings) this year with a 1.24 WHIP and 130:36 K:BB. He's currently in line for a rematch with Toronto on the road in his next outing.

Rodriguez didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Padres, allowing two runs on seven hits over five innings. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

Rodriguez got off to a good start Friday, scattering five hits to blank San Diego through his first five innings. However, Luis Arraez would lead off the sixth with a single before Jurickson Profar launched a game-tying, two-run homer, forcing Baltimore to turn to the bullpen. It's just the second time in Rodriguez's last six starts that he failed to make it through six innings. Overall, the 24-year-old right-hander is 12-4 with a 3.82 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 122:33 K:BB across 19 starts this year. Rodriguez is currently slated to face the Blue Jays at home next week in his next outing.
