Rodriguez will go for further tests on the wrist but is "going to be on hold for a while," according to Servais.It's unclear how exactly Rodriguez suffered the injury. Infielder told reporters, , that he saw Rodriguez make an awkward dive forward and grab his wrist, though Matthew Boyd Jersey he don't know whether he stumbled while running or simply slid awkwardly and dangerously.Rodriguez did, however, smoke a double to dead center field early in the workout:Rodriguez, 19, is one of the game's best prospects. He authored a .326/.390/.540 batting line with 12 home runs in 84 games split between two Single-A levels in 2019.

At this point the best case scenario likely involves Rodriguez returning in the second half of the 60-game season and spending a few weeks at the alternate site. He was never expected to see time on the roster this year. Rodriguez's work will be limited to the alternate site.
