Sharp in rehab start Rodriguez (back) struck out four and allowed one earned run on five hits and one walk across four innings Sunday in his rehab start for Single-A Rancho Cucamonga.

Impact The right-hander was no match for lower-level minor-league competition, retiring 12 of the 18 batters he faced while pumping in 37 of his 57 pitches for strikes and generating five whiffs. Angels manager Kurt Suzuki previously said that Rodriguez may need just one start in the minors before returning from the 15-day injured list, but unless the right-hander was able to throw another simulated inning after exiting Sunday's outing, he may need another outing in the minors to build upon his 57-pitch workload. The Angels received strong performances from back-end rotation members Ryan Johnson and Sam Aldegheri in their last starts, so the team can probably afford to play it slow with Rodriguez as he works his way back from lower-back tightness.

Making rehab start Sunday Rodriguez (back) will commence his first rehab start on Sunday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact After recently being placed on the injured list June 15, Rodriguez will make his first rehab start on Sunday. The 26-year-old's most recent baseball activities consisted of throwing off the flat ground in the bullpen last Saturday. Manager Kurt Suzuki says that it is possible this is the one and only rehab start that Rodriguez will have to make before rejoining the big-league club.

Continues to throw Rodriguez (back) continues to throw, including off flat ground in the bullpen Saturday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Angels placed Rodriguez on the 15-day injured list Monday with low-back inflammation, but his MRI came back negative. The fact that Rodriguez has not been shut down from throwing provides further reason for optimism, though the team figures to proceed cautiously from here given his injury history. Rodriguez has gone 2-2 with an 8.06 ERA, 1.83 WHIP and 24:15 K:BB in six starts and 25.2 innings for the big club so far this season.

MRI comes back clean Rodriguez (back) recently underwent an MRI that came back clean, per MLB.com.

Impact The imaging brought promising news for the right-handed hurler, and he was able to play catch June 16. That was just two days after Rodriguez had to depart his start against Tampa Bay after feeling tightness in his back. It's not clear how long Rodriguez will be sidelined, but early indications suggest he may not need much more than the minimum 15 days required by his IL stint.

Sent to IL with back injury The Angels placed Rodriguez on the 15-day injured list Monday with low-back inflammation.

Impact Rodriguez was forced to depart Sunday start against the Rays in the third inning due to the injury. While the injury does not appear to be overly serious, Rodriguez will be forced to miss at least a couple turns in the Angels' rotation. He's posted an 8.06 ERA in six starts this season.

Dealing with back issue Rodriguez exited Sunday's contest against Tampa Bay in the third frame due to lower-back tightness, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact Rodriguez appeared to be dealing with a great level of discomfort after plunking Cedric Mullins with a changeup with one-out in the top of the third, and it is now understood to be the result of back tightness. He finished his day having tossed 2.1 innings, allowing two runs, both of which scored after his departure, on three hits and two walks while striking out one. The 26-year-old was making his sixth start of the season, and it's unclear if his next projected outing against the Athletics on Thursday is in danger.

Exits early Sunday Rodriguez (undisclosed) exited Sunday's start against the Rays in the third inning, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact Rodriguez hit Cedrick Mullins with an 83 mph changeup with one out in the top of the third frame, and he immediately started grimacing. The Angels promptly removed him from the contest, and it's unclear what injury the right-handed pitcher may be dealing with. More information on Rodriguez's status will likely be provided in the near future.

Bounces back with solid start Rodriguez allowed three runs (two earned) on six hits and two walks while striking out six batters over 5.1 innings in a no-decision against Houston on Monday.

Impact Rodriguez was pummeled in his previous start, giving up eight runs (seven earned) over 3.2 innings against Colorado. It was thus promising to see the right-hander respond with a much better performance Monday, racking up a season-high six punchouts while giving up an acceptable two earned runs. Rodriguez took a 3-1 lead into the sixth inning, but he appeared to run out of steam in that frame, as he gave up three doubles and two runs before departing with one out. Two very poor outings through five starts have Rodriguez at an ugly 8.10 ERA on the campaign, but he'll try to build some positive momentum in his next appearance, which is lined up to be a home matchup against Tampa Bay.
