Grayson Rodriguez

The Orioles have announced that Grayson Rodriguez (lat) will not pitch again this season.

Fantasy Impact

This is yet another massive blow to the Orioles rotation, just one day after they clinched a playoff berth. Rodriguez has been out of action since August with a lat strain and had not progressed much in his rehab. The 24-year-old will end the season with a 3.86 ERA and a 1.24 WHIP in 20 starts.

Grayson Rodriguez (lat) could face live hitters during the Orioles' road trip, per manager Brandon Hyde.

Fantasy Impact

Rodriguez was able to throw off flat ground last week and did not have any setbacks in his rehab. He will likely return in late-September.

Grayson Rodriguez (lat) threw from flat ground before Thursday’s game.

Fantasy Impact

Rodriguez has now thrown from flat ground twice this week. The team has still not provided an exact timeline on a potential return.

Grayson Rodriguez progressed to playing catch from 90 feet on Tuesday at Dodger Stadium.

Fantasy Impact

Rodriguez has been sidelined since the beginning of August and was hopeful to return in September. He remains without a clear timetable to return, but does appear to be headed in the right direction.

Grayson Rodriguez (lat) will not throw for 10 days and the Orioles are hopeful that he will be back sometime in September, per GM Mike Elias.

Fantasy Impact

Rodriguez was scratched from a scheduled start with the Blue Jays and will now miss time with a mild right lat strain. Fantasy managers should expect Albert Suarez to take his spot in the rotation.
