2025 Injury Report: Updates on Bogaerts, Rodriguez, Smith

It occurred when Bogaerts fouled a ball off his foot in Seattle this past Wednesday. Padres manager Mike Shildt stated that their medical team doesn’t believe it’s a season-ending injury.

Rodriguez recommended for TJ

Giants reliever Randy Rodriguez (elbow) was recommended for Tommy John surgery, per the team. As of now, he’s not yet made up his mind on whether to undergo it.

If he does, it would knock him out for the entire 2026 season.

The 25-year-old was a good strikeout pitcher in 2024, his rookie season. Rodriguez took a step forward in 2025, as he posted a 1.78 ERA before he was placed on the IL.

Smith on IL

The Diamondbacks placed 1B/OF Pavin Smith on the 10-day IL with a left quad strain.

Rehab assignments

Rangers reliever Chris Martin threw a scoreless inning for Frisco (AA) on August 29.

Cardinals outfielder Victor Scott II went 0-3 with a strikeout for Springfield (AA). Scott II played the first six innings of the game.

Other injury news

Pittsburgh placed Jack Suwinski on the 10-day IL with a right groin strain.
