This was the rookie's ninth multi-hit performance over his past 21 contests, and he's batting .329 (28-for-85) over that stretch. Rodriguez has proven to be a dynamic and multi-faceted factor in fantasy, slashing .277/.332/.432 with seven homers, 26 RBI and 17 steals over his first 54 big-league games.

The rookie outfielder has batted .294 in that span, raising his season slash line to .269/.324/.416 in 213 plate appearances. The 21-year-old has added six home runs, 24 RBI, 22 runs scored, nine doubles and a triple while cementing his place in the heart of the order. He moved back to hitting cleanup Saturday after a week as the No. 3 hitter, but it's unclear if that change will stick.

MAY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Three hits in Monday's loss Rodriguez went 3-for-4 with a double in Monday's 9-0 loss to the Phillies.

Over the last 12 games, Rodriguez is slashing .357/.413/.500 with a homer, four steals, three RBI and four runs.

MAY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

The talented rookie still sports a 26.5 percent strikeout rate during that span, but that's a significant improvement over the bloated 38.6 percent figure he generated in his first 17 contests.

Mariners' Julio Rodríguez makes first MLB homer count Despite a high strikeout rate in April, Rodríguez has stuck with his disciplined approach at the plate and it paid off Sunday.

MAY 2, 2022 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Blasts first career homer Rodriguez went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run in Sunday's win over the Marlins.

Impact The 21-year-old got on the board with his long ball off Sandy Alcantara in the sixth inning. He's caught some tough breaks early in his big-league career, with a lot of borderline pitches being called against him (to go along with some blatant misses by the umpires). Regardless, he's now up to a .234 average after collecting multiple hits in four of his last nine games, and Rodriguez leads all of MLB with nine stolen bases.

MAY 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Hot hitting continues Rodriguez went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run in a loss to the Marlins on Friday.

Impact Manager Scott Servais' decision to stick with Rodriguez through some fairly significant growing pains at the plate appears to be paying off. The precocious 21-year-old has now reached safely in six of his last seven games, boosting his season average 75 points to .211 in the process.

APRIL 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Two more steals Rodriguez went 1-for-3 with two stolen bases in a 2-1 loss Thursday in Tampa Bay.

Impact Rodriguez singled in the second, was hit by a pitch and stole a base in the fourth and reached on a fielder's choice and swiped a base in the ninth. He leads all of baseball with eight steals and has yet to be caught trying. With hits in five of the last six contests, he's raised his average to .194 but is still in search of his first big-league homer. While he tries to figure it out at the plate, he's contributing on the basepaths and in the field.
