Giants Place Dereck Rodriguez On 10-Day DL

By Jeff Todd | August 16, 2018 at 9:34pm CDT

The Giants have announced that impressive young righty Dereck Rodriguez is headed to the 10-day disabled list with a hamstring strain, as Kerry Crowley of the Bay Area News Group was among those to tweet. He’ll be replaced in the rotation by Casey Kelly for the time being.

Fortunately, it is said only to be a grade 1 strain for Rodriguez — the mildest form of the injury. It seems that the problem arose during the recent scuffle between the Giants and rival Dodgers, as Crowley and others note on Twitter.

Rodriguez has been among the most surprising players in baseball this year. Previously known only as the son of Hall-of-Famer Ivan Rodriguez, the 26-year-old has emerged as a quality rotation piece in San Francisco after joining the organization over the winter as a minor-league free agent who had never yet pitched in the big leagues.

It seems fair to say that Rodriguez has had a major role in keeping the Giants in shouting distance of a postseason spot. He has thrown 80 innings of 2.25 ERA ball, after all, making him a solid Rookie of the Year candidate — at least, that is, were this not a season that features two otherworldly young National League hitters.

Despite their immediate needs, the Giants will surely prioritize Rodriguez’s long-term health in bringing him back to action. While there’s no reason to think he’s at risk of a severe hamstring injury, lower-body injuries can potentially impact mechanics and lead to other concerns. While Rodriguez doesn’t carry peripherals that suggest he’ll continue to be a sub-3.00 ERA pitcher over the long haul, he looks to be a key piece for a Giants organization that is hoping to infuse some youth into its roster while staying competitive.

      sure, karma, you go out to try to break up when your catcher gets punched for telling a guy to get out of his face.

      Karma for Puig being the biggest and most unwarranted drama queen in the MLB? Sure, sounds right.

      Me too finally. Good thing I have a 20 pt lead on 2nd. Looks like I won’t be able to get first place in every category with all these injuries though.

      With a last name like Rodriguez in the MLB, how could you not know?

      When he punches the other one in the face? If you ignore all the obvious human traits, then it technically resembles it…for those that are wondering, watch shingeki no kyojin and never look back

    Funny this team always tends to have muscular injuries with hamstring and tendon issues.I know Bobby Evans is already a moron, but is anyone looking at the training staff in general?

        3 Championships this decade and a franchise that is top 5 in MLB in generating revenue. Right, these guys are complete failures.

      Hamstring injuries are up across the league not just with the giants.

      Its crazy how so many players on every team gets hurt so often. No disrespect, don’t say its the Dr’s fault. I suspect the trend is more due to players unwilling to play through pain to protect themselves for potential high earning power.

    Casey Kelly is starting against the Reds. The Reds bench coach is Pat Kelly, his father.

    Rodriguez was keeping the Giants in ballgames. The team had slim playoff hopes already (fivethriftyeight has them at 5%). I wouldn’t conclude that missing 2 starts with 40 to play dashes those thin hopes. But mostly because I have long ago conclude that any hope is false. They are the .500 team you see on the field.
    But c’mon, hurt in a fight? So dumb.
