Julio Rodríguez homers off the bench on Tuesday

Julio Rodríguez

SEA Center Fielder #44

Player Stats

Julio Rodríguez went 1-for-2 with a solo homer off the bench against the Reds on Tuesday.

Rodríguez was left out of the starting lineup after exiting Monday’s game against Cincinnati with a leg injury. So, it was an excellent sign when he came off the bench as a pinch hitter in the sixth inning before taking over in center field. It was an even better sign when he took Julian Garcia deep for a solo homer to lead off the eighth inning. The 25-year-old outfielder is up to 15 homers, 48 runs scored, 43 RBI, and 12 steals while hitting .258/.321/.426 across 393 plate appearances.

Julio Rodríguez belted a go-ahead three-run home run in the seventh inning on Thursday, propelling the Mariners to a 4-3 victory over the visiting Rangers.

The Mariners entered the seventh inning trailing 3-0 and they had had just one base runner on the afternoon up until that point. An RBI single from Dominic Canzone finally got them on the board then Rodríguez followed two batters later with a 410-foot (112.4-mph EV) three-run shot off of Jakob Junis that gave the Mariners a 4-3 lead they wouldn’t relinquish. The 25-year-old outfielder finished the day 1-for-3 and is now hitting .239/.298/.395 with 21 homers, 64 RBI and 20 stolen bases on the season.

Julio Rodríguez drove in two runs with a double and a groundout and stole three bases Thursday against the A’s.

The three steals pushed Rodríguez up to 20 for the year, giving him his fifth straight 20/20 season to open his career. At just 25 years old, he’s in great position to take over as the all-time leader in 20/20 seasons. Bobby and Barry Bonds currently share the record with 10 such seasons. The only active players ahead of Rodríguez are José Ramírez, who, at 11 homers, needs a huge finish to pull off his eighth such season this year, and teammate Randy Arozarena, who has gone 20/20 for a sixth straight season.

Julio Rodríguez went 2-for-5 and hit a three-run homer Monday versus the Phillies.

Rodríguez’s three-run homer off Zack Wheeler to get things going in the first seemed really big at the time, though he obviously ended up being overshadowed by Cal Raleigh tonight. The homer gave Rodríguez just his second multi-RBI game in two months. He’s now locked down a fifth straight 20-homer season to start his career, which is quite impressive, but everyone was expecting more from him than a .249/.312/.413 line through 121 games.

Julio Rodríguez went 1-for-3 with two walks and a solo home run against the Yankees.

Rodríguez’ home run was his 19th of the year. He hit a solo shot off Will Warren in the first inning. Rodríguez now has three home runs in his last seven games. His ISO is .171 this year after posting ISOs of at least .207 in three of the first four years of his career. He’s hitting .257 with a .752 OPS and 52 RBI.

Julio Rodríguez went 2-for-3 with a three-run homer and a walk Wednesday in the Mariners’ 4-2 defeat of the Tigers.

Rodríguez’s homer came in a scoreless game after Brenan Hanifee intentionally walked Dominic Canzone to face him with two outs in the sixth. It was Rodriguez’s 17th homer of the year. 10 of those came in May. This was his first of August after he hit two in each of the other three months of the season.

Julio Rodríguez went 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored, and a stolen base against the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Rodríguez led off the fourth inning with a solo homer off Justin Wrobleski. He later added a single in the eighth before stealing second and scoring. The 25-year-old outfielder is up to 16 homers, 51 runs scored, 46 RBI, and 13 steals while slashing .257/.317/.425 across 419 plate appearances.

Julio Rodríguez (leg) is out of the lineup for Tuesday’s showdown against the Reds.

It appears that Seattle is proceeding with an abundance of caution after Rodríguez came down hard on the first-base bag immediately after taking an 85.9 mph throw from Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz off his left leg during Monday’s series opener. Mariners skipper Dan Wilson downplayed concern after the contest and is sounds like Rodríguez is day-to-day heading into Wednesday’s series finale. It’ll be Victor Robles sliding over to patrol center field in his absence.

The Mariners don’t think Julio Rodríguez strained his hamstring before leaving Monday’s game against the Reds.

Rodríguez departed after being hit on the back of his leg by a throw while beating out a grounder. He was also feeling some soreness from the impact of hitting first base afterwards. Still, it sounds like there aren’t going to be any lasting problems here.

Julio Rodríguez made an early exit from Monday’s series opener against the Reds.

Rodríguez appeared to be struck on the left hamstring by an errant throw from Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz during the fifth inning. He left the dugout with a trainer following the play. There should be a definitive update from the club shortly.

Mariners activated OF Julio Rodríguez from the 7-day concussion injured list.

Rodríguez returns to Seattle’s lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Giants at T-Mobile Park after missing just over two weeks recovering from a concussion, but will begin his second half as the designated hitter, with Luke Raley handling center field. The 25-year-old franchise cornerstone was hitting .259/.323/.424 with 14 home runs, 40 RBI and 12 steals in 378 plate appearances across 87 games to open the season. His presence should provide an immediate lift for Seattle’s offense.

The Giants had been hopeful that Furman would be able to play through the issue, but after a couple of days it made more sense to sit him down and let the injury heal properly. Victor Bericoto was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move on Friday night.

Giants placed RHP Logan Webb on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to September 15, with a right middle finger blister.

That will unfortunately end the 29-year-old right-hander’s season prematurely. Webb finishes the 2026 campaign with a 4.31 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and a 134/41 K/BB ratio over 160 2/3 innings in his 27 starts. He obviously has plenty of time to overcome the blister issue before the start of the 2027 season.

Chisholm has been shelved since September 9 due to a right thumb sprain. It sounds like he’s making considerable progress in his recovery though and could only be days away from a return to the Yankees’ lineup.
