Remains out Tuesday Rodrigues (undisclosed) will not play versus Tampa Bay on Tuesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Rodrigues will be out of action for his second consecutive contest due to his undislocated injury. The 32-year-old center could find himself moving into a top-six role following Aleksander Barkov's (knee) long-term injury, though Rodrigues will need to edge out Anton Lundell for that spot.
