Julio Rodriguez Exits Game Between Seattle Mariners, Los Angeles Angels

Rodriguez limped off the infield and sat down in front of the Angels dugout while trainers checked on him. The trainers assisted Rodriguez into the Seattle dugout and into the clubhouse.

Leody Taveras, who began the game on the bench, filled in for Rodriguez in center field in the bottom of the third.

There was no news on specifics of the injury at the time of Rodriguez's exit. He was 2-for-2 with a run before he left the game. It was his third multi-hit game in his last four contests.

Rodriguez dealt with another ankle injury a season ago that kept him out for several weeks. He was placed on the injured list July 23, 2024, with a right ankle sprain and was activated Aug. 11, 2024. He was limited to a designated hitter role when he was activated off the IL and was kept out of the outfield for another week.

Rodriguez has started to heat up for the Mariners in the last several games. He's scored 40 runs in 62 games this season and has hit six doubles, three triples and 10 home runs with 33 RBIs. He's slashed .254/.321/.421 with a .742 OPS. He hit .282 with six home runs and 18 RBIs in May.
