Mariners' Julio Rodriguez: Swipes two bags Saturday
Rotowire
Rodriguez went 0-for-2 with two walks and two stolen bases in a loss to the Athletics on Saturday.
Rodriguez has just one hit through nine at-bats this season, but he's also notched three walks. The star center fielder took advantage of his first free pass Saturday by swiping second and third base, though he was then thrown out at home on a groundball. Rodriguez should be a steady source of steals for fantasy managers again this season after averaging 28.7 thefts over his first three big-league campaigns.
Mariners' Julio Rodriguez: Back from illness Friday
Rotowire
Rodriguez (illness) is starting in center field and batting second in Friday's split-squad game against the Reds.
Rodriguez has been dealing with an illness this week but is ready to rejoin the lineup Friday after taking a few days to rest up. The 24-year-old totaled 20 homers and 24 steals in 143 games last season but also had a career-worst .734 OPS. Rodriguez is batting just .229 through 13 spring games but has found his power stroke with three long balls.
Rodriguez was scratched from the lineup for Monday's Cactus League game against the Athletics due to an illness, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.
Rodriguez wasn't feeling well upon reporting to the ballpark Monday, so he'll likely receive a day or two off before making his return to the lineup. Luke Raley will start in center field Monday in Rodriguez's stead. The 22-year-old outfielder has already logged 35 at-bats in Cactus League play, batting .229 with three home runs and one stolen base.
Mariners' Julio Rodriguez: Goes deep twice Wednesday
Rotowire
Rodriguez homered twice in Wednesday's Cactus League game against Kansas City and now has five RBI in 16 at-bats this spring.
After launching a solo shot off Royals right-hander Michael Lorenzen in the first inning Wednesday, Rodriguez belted another solo shot in the fourth frame for his first long balls of the spring. The star outfielder is off to a hot start in the Cactus League, which is an encouraging sign for both the Mariners and fantasy managers ahead of the regular season. Seattle's offense mostly struggled last year and didn't see any significant additions this past offseason, but Rodriguez should operate as the lineup's engine in 2025 and holds five-category upside despite coming off a career-worst .734 OPS.
