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.

Rodriguez (12-4) earned the win over Texas on Saturday, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out eight batters over six innings.

EDGE Analysis

Rodriguez was staked to a 4-0 lead in the top of the second inning, but he gave up a pair of runs to split the advantage in half in the bottom of the frame. However, those were the only tallies Texas managed against him, and the right-hander ended with his 12th win -- second most in the majors -- and 10th quality start. Four of those quality starts have come over Rodriguez's past five outings.

Rodriguez (11-4) took the loss against the Yankees on Saturday, allowing six runs on eight hits and one walk with seven strikeouts over five innings.

EDGE Analysis

Rodriguez allowed a season-high three home runs, including a three-run homer in the first inning and back-to-back long balls to Juan Soto and Aaron Judge in the fifth. He generated 13 swinging strikes on 91 pitches but was burned by his mistakes, breaking a run of three consecutive quality-start victories. The 24-year-old will take a 3.88 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 112:31 K:BB across 99.2 innings into the All-Star break.

Rodriguez (11-3) picked up the win Sunday against Oakland, allowing three runs on six hits and a walk across six innings. He struck out eight.

EDGE Analysis

Rodriguez earned his sixth victory in seven starts, catapulting him up the leaderboard in the category and into a three-way tie for the most wins in baseball. Outside of a seven-run showing against the Astros on June 21, Rodriguez has yielded three or fewer runs in six straight starts, and has struck out eight batters in three of his last four outings. The 24-year-old is scheduled for a matchup with the Yankees at Camden Yards next weekend. Rodriguez blanked the Yankees over 5.2 innings April 29.

Rodriguez (10-3) allowed two hits and four walks while striking out eight over 6.1 scoreless innings to earn the win over the Mariners on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

This was just the second time in his last seven starts that Rodriguez walked multiple batters, but that was virtually the only flaw in his performance Tuesday. It was also his third scoreless outing of the year. Rodriguez is now at a 3.45 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 97:29 K:BB through 88.2 innings over 15 starts. The right-hander is tentatively projected for a home start versus the Cubs for his next appearance if the Orioles go to a six-man rotation, though he could move up to pitch on regular rest at Oakland on Sunday if Baltimore elects to work with five starters.

Rodriguez (9-3) earned the win over Cleveland on Wednesday, allowing two runs on five hits and no walks while striking out four batters over seven innings.

EDGE Analysis

Rodriguez was tagged for seven runs over five innings against Houston during his previous trip to the mound, but he was much better Wednesday, notching his seventh quality start of the campaign and his ninth victory. The right-hander did give up two home runs, but both were of the solo variety, and they accounted for the only scores the Guardians managed against him. Rodriguez has been good at limiting long balls this season -- Wednesday marked just the second time he has allowed multiple homers -- and he's completed at least five frames in all but one of his 14 starts. He holds a 3.72 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 89:25 K:BB across 82.1 innings on the campaign.
