The club has placed star outfielder Julio Rodriguez on the 10-day injured list, a tough blow for the team. A right wrist contusion has sidelined the slugger, forcing him off the field for at least the immediate future.
Wrist Woes
Rodriguez suffered the injury Friday night when he was hit by a pitch during a game against the Houston Astros. The impact led to the contusion that now has him on the shelf.
Rivas Steps Up
To fill the roster spot, outfielder Leo Rivas has been called up from Triple-A Tacoma. He'll be looking to make an impact while Rodriguez recovers.
Manager Dan Wilson offered some hope for a quick return, stating Rodriguez is "day-to-day and could return within a week." Fans will be hoping for a speedy recovery for their star.
