Shelved with glute strain Pirates manager Don Kelly said that Rodriguez will be placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday due to a left glute strain, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

Impact Rodriguez exited Sunday's 11-5 win over the Nationals with what had been described as a left hip issue, but Kelly has since provided more clarity regarding the catcher's injury. Since the 26-year-old backstop's move to the IL is retroactive to Monday, he'll be eligible to play coming out of the All-Star break, though it's not yet clear if Rodriguez is on pace to be ready to play by then. In the meantime, Henry Davis is expected to serve as the Pirates' primary catcher, while Rafael Flores was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis to provide the team with another option behind the plate.

Nursing side/hip injury Rodriguez exited Sunday's game against the Nationals with an injury to his left side/hip, Dominic Campbell of SI.com reports.

Impact Rodriguez singled in the top of the eighth inning before being lifted for a pinch runner. He missed a bit of time in mid-June with left hip discomfort, so it could be an aggravation of that injury. The Pirates are idle Monday but could offer more clarity on Rodriguez's status before Tuesday's series opener against Atlanta. If Rodriguez needs to miss additional time, Henry Davis would be due for an uptick in playing time at catcher.

Racks up season-high four RBI Rodriguez went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run, two walks and an additional RBI in Monday's 11-7 win over the Phillies.

Impact Rodriguez piled up a season-high RBI in his eighth multi-hit game of the season. The 25-year-old backstop has soundly outproduced Henry Davis as Pittsburgh's top catcher, and his stay atop the depth chart was solidified when the Pirates traded away Joey Bart earlier in June. Since being recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis, Rodriguez is slashing .271/.404/.482 with four big flies, six doubles, 15 RBI and two stolen bases over 105 plate appearances.

Davis, meanwhile, has delivered a .558 OPS over 157 plate appearances.

He's made the most of the chance, going 10-for-33 with two homers, six RBI and five runs scored in that span.

Goes deep in three-hit performance Rodriguez went 3-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's loss to the Athletics.

Impact Rodriguez was a bright spot in the loss, blasting a solo homer in the eighth inning to cap off his first three-hit effort of the campaign. The 26-year-old struggled in previous big-league stints in 2023 and 2025 but has looked much more comfortable this time around, slashing .268/.423/.482 with three homers, three doubles, seven RBI, 10 runs and two stolen bases across 72 plate appearances since being recalled in mid-May. Joey Bart (foot) is currently on a rehab assignment and should return to the active roster soon, but Rodriguez has performed well enough to earn a share of the playing time behind the dish even after Bart is activated.

JUNE 14 • ROTOWIRE

Flashes power in Friday's loss Rodriguez went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 8-3 loss to the Marlins.

Impact After sitting out Thursday's game due to a minor hip issue, Rodriguez looked plenty healthy in his return as he took Sandy Alcantara deep in the fifth inning. The 26-year-old catcher is slashing .240/.387/.420 in 19 games since joining the big-league roster in mid-May with two homers, two steals, six RBI and nine runs, making a solid case to remain part of the picture behind the plate when Joey Bart (foot) is activated from the IL.
