Brendan Rodgers

The Boston Red Sox signed Brendan Rodgers to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

Rodgers spent last season with the Houston Astros, appearing in just 43 games due to multiple injuries. He posted a .191/.266/.278 slash line and will look to regain his health with Boston. A Gold Glove winner with the Colorado Rockies in 2022, Rodgers adds valuable infield depth for the Red Sox.

Houston Astros manager Joe Espada said that Brendan Rodgers will not play again this season.

Fantasy Impact

Rodgers has been sidelined by multiple injuries this season, including an oblique strain, concussion and a nasal fracture, and is now dealing with lumbar spine inflammation. In 115 at-bats this season, he posted a .191/.266/.278 slash line.

Brendan Rodgers was removed from his rehab assignment with Triple-A Sugar Land due to lumbar spine inflammation.

Fantasy Impact

Rodgers, who has been sidelined since June 18 with a concussion and nasal fracture, has hit a setback in his recovery. He is now dealing with a spine injury, which puts a return this season in question. The Houston Astros are expected to take things slow, and there is no official timeline for his return.

Brendan Rodgers began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sugar Land on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

Rodgers returned to game action on Saturday, going 1-for-4 with three strikeouts while playing second base. Since he has been sidelined since June 18 with a concussion and nasal fracture, he will need multiple rehab games before being activated.

Brendan Rodgers has not progressed to resuming baseball activities.

Fantasy Impact

Rodgers remains in the concussion protocol. He is continuing to rehab in Houston.
