Joely Rodriguez Could Return This Week
2 years agoBoston Red Sox reliever Joely Rodriguez (shoulder) began a rehab assignment on Tuesday with Triple-A Worcester and is expected to make at least one more rehab appearance, according to MLB.com. If there are no setbacks, the southpaw has a chance to return for the club's series against the Chicago White Sox, which begins on Friday. Rodriguez has been dealing with left shoulder inflammation, which has kept him out of action since May 30. The 31-year-old has only played in five games this season, as he also missed time with an oblique injury to start the campaign. Across four innings, Rodriguez has given up eight earned runs on six walks while striking out five. Right now, the six-year veteran has little value in any format.

Joely Rodriguez Activated From The 15-Day Injured List
2 years agoBoston Red Sox relief pitcher Joely Rodriguez (shoulder) was activated from the 15-day injured list on Saturday. Rodriguez missed a little over a month of action with left shoulder inflammation. Injuries have kept him out of the year, anyway, however, as he's worked just four innings (five appearances) to the tune of an ugly 18.00 ERA and 3.25 WHIP. Justin Garza, another struggling reliever, was optioned back to Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move.

Joely Rodriguez To Make Another Rehab Appearance
2 years agoBoston Red Sox left-hander Joely Rodriguez (shoulder) began a minor-league rehab assignment on June 20 for Triple-A Worcester and gave up two hits while striking out one in two-thirds of an inning. He gave up three hits and a run in two-thirds of an inning on June 23. Manager Alex Cora said on June 25 that Rodriguez will make at least one more rehab appearance before coming off the injured list. The 31-year-old southpaw reliever landed on the injured list on June 1 with left-shoulder inflammation. He had made just five appearances out of Boston's bullpen before the injury and didn't look good, giving up nine runs (eight earned) on seven hits (two homers) while walking six and fanning five in four innings of work.

Joely Rodriguez Activated Monday
2 years agoThe Boston Red Sox activated left-handed reliever Joely Rodriguez (oblique) from the 15-day injured list on Monday and designated right-hander Ryan Brasier for assignment in a corresponding move. Rodriguez will be making his 2023 debut when he gets into a game after spending the first six weeks of the season on the shelf with a right oblique strain that he suffered in spring training. The 31-year-old southpaw gave up just one run while striking out nine hitters in five innings during his minor-league rehab assignment at Double-A Portland and Triple-A Worcester. Rodriguez could eventually see some high-leverage bullpen work, which would make him a candidate for a waiver-wire pickup in deep fantasy leagues that reward points for holds.

Joely Rodriguez Begins Rehab Assignment Thursday
2 years agoBoston Red Sox lefty Joely Rodriguez (oblique) began a rehab assignment on Thursday with Triple-A Worcester, pitching a scoreless inning, allowing one hit and striking out a batter. The 31-year-old is working his way back from a right oblique strain that has held him out of action for the entire 2023 to date. Last season, Rodriguez posted a 4.47 ERA and 1.35 WHIP but enjoyed a 26.4% strikeout rate with nine holds. When he does return, he has a chance to be a part of the setup mix with John Schreiber and Chris Martin. However, fantasy managers shouldn't expect Rodriguez to see many save situations, as longtime closer Kenley Jansen will continue seeing the majority of save opportunities.
