Set to rejoin Triple-A lineup Triple-A St. Paul reinstated Rodriguez (thumb) from the 60-day injured list Monday, Theodore Tollefson of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

Impact Rodriguez is poised to return to the St. Paul lineup Tuesday for what will be his first appearance at the Triple-A level since May 1, as he's been shelved for more than three months while recovering from left thumb surgery. The 23-year-old outfielder proved his health in an extended rehab assignment between the Single-A and High-A levels, during which he slashed .267/.421/.367 with two extra-base hits and seven walks over nine games.

Impact Rodriguez remains on Triple-A St. Paul's 60-day injured list while he makes his way back from the surgery he underwent on his left thumb in late May, but he looks to be closing in on a return to International League action. The 23-year-old outfielder experienced soreness in his thumb coming out of a July 30 rehab game at Single-A Fort Myers, but he was cleared to return to action with Cedar Rapids after four days of rest and recovery.

Impact Rodriguez has been on Triple-A St. Paul's injured list since May 6 due to the thumb injury but appeared to be on the cusp of returning to action for the Twins' top affiliate after kicking off a rehab assignment at Single-A Fort Myers early last week. He appeared in three games in the Florida State League before shifting his assignment to Cedar Rapids on Friday, but he's still waiting to appear for the Twins' Midwest League affiliate while he waits for the soreness in his thumb to subside. The Twins are viewing the outfielder as day-to-day.

Cleared for rehab assignment Rodriguez (thumb) will begin a rehab assignment with Low-A Fort Myers on Tuesday, Theodore Tollefson of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

Impact Rodriguez has finally been cleared to play in games following surgery in late May to repair the UCL in his left thumb. The 23-year-old has been highly productive for Triple-A St. Paul this season when on the field, slashing .247/.417/.506 with six long balls in 25 games. Rodriguez could push to debut before the end of the 2026 campaign if he's able to stay healthy, but that's a big "if," given his track record.
