Julio Rodriguez Suffers Wrist Fracture

By Jeff Todd | July 18, 2020 at 4:10pm CDT

July 18: Divish reports that while Rodriguez’s wrist fracture will not require surgery, it will prevent him from participating in baseball activities for the next four-to-six weeks. So while the Mariners’ phenom will be unable to get reps in a Major League setting, the M’s are hoping that Rodriguez will get some at-bats in the Dominican Winter League, which gets underway in October.

July 16: Exciting Mariners prospect Julio Rodriguez is going to spend some time on the mend. He has been diagnosed with a hairline fracture in his left wrist, as Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times was among those to report on Twitter.

Rodriguez is widely regarded as one of the twenty (or better) top prospects in all of baseball. The 19-year-old was invited to participate in Seattle’s 60-man player pool even though he has yet to appear in the upper minors.

The M’s had hoped to allow Rodriguez and other elite prospects to gain exposure to upper-level talent and get reps in the absence of a minor-league season. That’s all out the window now for Rodriguez, at least until he’s able to heal up.

There’s not a ton of time left for Rodriguez to get back to full speed and return to the fold, limiting his development opportunities this year. Fortunately, the Mariners won’t have to alter their MLB plans, as Rodriguez didn’t factor in the picture this year.

    Hopefully the hairline fracture heals correctly and heals quickly… Pretty excited to see a future OF with Kelenic and Rodriguez.

      Add Kyle Lewis too. Very exiting at the potential on all (3) outfielders.

        Very true. And now with some exciting pitching prospects as well, we might actually have a shot of ending our Postseason-less streak. Soon, hopefully.

    M’s have a serious amount of impact talent on the horrizon. Marte screams all five tools; Williamson looks like Cold Hammels. In a couple of years……

    It will be exciting to have Seattle competing for a playoff spot in a few years. Kudos to Jerry DiPoto for collecting a nice array of young talent.

    I only wish Dave Neihaus was around to call the games. One of my favorite announcers of all time.

    Does anyone know if normal spring training/minor league IL procedures apply for prospects during summer camp and those from 60-player group not on the active roster? During the season, players not on the active roster who are injured can be placed on a minor league IL but have to be activated and accumulate service time to go on the 60-day IL, the latter only an issues for guys on the 40. Minor leaguers not on the 40 who are invited to spring training similarly can be placed on minor league ILs. However, guys on the 40 who get hurt in spring training while still in major league camp–ie they haven’t been optioned–would have to go on the major league DL and that there are SBA issues if the team tries to option an injured guy and disable him in the minors to avoid him accruing service time, That’s why teams option guys weeks before the season starts so that, even if they bring them back to the major league side for some games, they won’t accrue service time if they get hurt. Does these rules and practices now apply? Guys on the 40 who get hurt in camp will accrue service time on the major league IL if they haven’t been optioned yet, even if there was no plan to activate them? And, will guys on the 40 but not on the active roster who are at the alternate team site after season begins, on the other hand, be eligible for a minor league IL?

    Lewis-Kelenic-Rodriguez with Fraley as the 4th OF. Haniger may be around as well.
    Marte-Crawford-Long-White-Vogelbach around the INF. Raleigh behind the plate. The future pitching staff is supposed to be the strong point, but that offense will have some pop!

      That’s shaping up to be the projected outfield.

      But I think most of the infield is still up in the air and the DH may end up being a rotation of fielders.

      That said, Seattle at least has one solid prospect for each position (Marte for 3B) and even if players like Long and Crawford end up in utility roles, the roster would be augmented nicely.

        I think Shed Long could become a good leadoff hitter. He may only hit .270 but he will get on base; he has speed and pop as well.

          His defense might dictate his role for the future, but there’s certainly plenty to like in his offensive profile.

          White could be a dark horse to lead off at some point.

      They’re in great shape for the not-so-distant future.

    Doesn’t matter how many good prospects the Mariners have, thy don’t really know what to do with them. They have had 6 HOFers (or potential HOFers) Griffey Jr., A-Rod, Randy Johnson, Edgar Martinez, Ichiro, and Felix Hernandez for the bulk of their primes and they weren’t able to do much with them aside from that one really weird season where they won like 115 games and then didn’t show up in the playoffs. Even if every one of these prospects works out, a highly unlikely scenario, will it even matter?

      Hiflew, this is a completely different front office. Even the majority ownership changed. There’s no reason to think they’re doomed because of what GM’s and managers did 10,20, 30, etc. years ago.

      And they don’t need to hit on everyone. They need to hit on some of the top prospects, but none of their top prospects are fringy or come with multiple flags. They’ll have plenty of payroll flexibility to boot as most of their top prospects settle in.

      Worth noting, they moved Johnson and Griffey, let Alex walk, and kept only Edgar and won 116 games in 2001. They made a lot of noise with mostly solid, but not elite, players.

      That said, Olerud was underrated.

        Well this completely different front office hasn’t seen the playoffs in twenty years, just like the rest, and in many of those years, they were in a 4 team division, so I’m giving anyone the benefit of the doubt.

        They might not have been the ones that messed up with all those great players, but the Mariners name has always had a certain “taint” to it. They lost constantly for their first 15 years, then gathered a bunch of greats and had a good 5-6 year run, then lost regularly again for 20 years. This might a new regime, but they have a lot of bad history that they are up against.

        That being said, I completely agree about Olerud. If he was a Yankee or Red Sox player in his prime, he would probably either be in the HOF or at least made a much bigger impression than 4 votes in a single year on the ballot.

          This completely different front office has been around for less than 5 years and in just 2 offseasons, they took the farm from dead-last to a top-5 organization with a number of elite prospects, most of which are in the upper-minors or in the process of graduating.

          Can’t change the past, only the future. Dipoto’s doing that. We won’t know how this plays out for at least a couple of more years, but so far so good.
