Surgery is on the table for Endy Rodríguez (hip)

Endy Rodríguez

PIT Catcher #13

Player Stats

Pirates general manager Ben Cherington said that Endy Rodríguez (hip) will take a “little bit longer” to return and that “surgery is on the table.”

It appears that Rodríguez is simply getting more information right now, and no decision has been made, but it’s an ominous turn of events for the 26-year-old who was performing well when healthy this season. The problem is that Rodríguez has struggled to remain healthy in his MLB career and may not be able to hold up to a full season of catching.

Endy Rodríguez underwent season-ending left hip surgery on Wednesday.

Rodríguez underwent a procedure to address a labrum tear and won’t be cleared to resume baseball activities until at least March, which means he’s going to miss time at the outset of next season. The 26-year-old was showing some really encouraging signs at the plate before hitting the injured list earlier this month. His absence opens the door for Rafael Flores to continue playing regularly between catcher and first base into next season.

Pirates placed C Endy Rodríguez on the 10-day injured list with left hip inflammation.

Sadly, injuries are becoming far too prevalent in Rodríguez’s career. The 26-year-old has produced when healthy for the Pirates this season, but this is now his third stint on the injured list this year, following previous injury-plagued seasons. There is no timeline for his return right now.

Endy Rodriguez (hip) is not in the lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Marlins.

Rodriguez is going to miss his fourth straight game — assuming he doesn’t enter off the bench — while dealing with left hip discomfort. Henry Davis will continue to work behind the plate while Rodriguez isn’t available.

Endy Rodríguez (hip) remains out of the lineup for the third consecutive game on Tuesday against the Marlins.

Rodríguez hasn’t required a trip to the injured list yet, but he’s sitting out for the third straight contest due to left hip discomfort. It’ll be Henry Davis continuing to handle the catching duties in his absence. The 26-year-old former top prospect has been rolling at the dish, hitting .284 (27-for-95) with six homers, 15 RBI and four steals over his last 30 games.

Endy Rodriguez (hip) was held out of the Pirates’ starting lineup for Sunday’s tilt against the Mets.

It’s the second straight game that the 26-year-old backstop has missed due to left hip discomfort. There haven’t been any rumblings yet that Rodriguez will require a stint on the injured list, but that could change if he doesn’t show improvement over the next couple of days.

PIT Catcher #13

Endy Rodríguez was scratched from Saturday’s lineup because of left hip discomfort.

Henry Davis will catch in his place against the Mets. Rodríguez was also absent Friday, but that just seemed to be a day off. If Rodríguez lands on the IL, the Pirates will probably call up a non-catcher (most likely Tyler Callihan or Billy Cook) and let Davis and Rafael Flores Jr. split time.

PIT Catcher #13

Endy Rodríguez went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run on Wednesday against the Brewers.

Rodríguez was the Pirates’ offense in this one. His two-run shot in the seventh accounted for their only two runs and came one inning after they snapped a stretch where nine consecutive batters struck out. As for Rodríguez, he’s now homered in consecutive games and has gone 9-for-30 with two home runs and four stolen bases in eight games since coming off the injured list.

Endy Rodríguez is at catcher and hitting sixth on Wednesday against the Brewers.

Henry Davis isn’t catching Paul Skenes for the first time since last April. We’ll see if the change has an impact on Skenes from a performance standpoint, but the Pirates are going to keep rolling with Rodríguez behind the dish since he’s hitting .268/.380/.457 with six homers and six steals in 151 plate appearances since mid-May.

PIT Catcher #13

Endy Rodriguez hit a solo homer in a loss for the Pirates to the Brewers on Tuesday.

He also drew a walk. The homer was the sixth of the season for Rodriguez and came off Logan Henderson in the fifth inning to bring the Bucs within a run. The 26-year-old has dealt with injuries — an unfortunately common theme in the early portion of his career — but the .266/.377/.435 slash is nice to see from a player that isn’t long removed from being considered one of the best prospects at his position.

Pirates activated Endy Rodríguez (glute) from the 10-day injured list

Rodriguez missed a little under three weeks with a left glute strain. He began his rehab assignment on Friday, and apparently that was enough for the Pirates. He’s having a solid season and is an option in fantasy formats if you just lost Shea Langeliers.

Marlins placed INF Xavier Edwards on the 10-day injured list with a left thumb sprain.

Edwards left Sunday’s game after colliding into Jorbit Vivas’ shoulder when he was sliding into second. He’ll now be out for at least the next 10 days, but the Marlins have not given an exact timeline for his return as of Monday afternoon. They remain just 3.5 games out of the playoffs, so we don’t believe Edwards is at risk of being shut down just yet.

Curtis Mead (wrist) played catch before Monday’s game.

Mead no longer has a cast on his left wrist after fracturing it back on July 27th. It’s nice to see him playing catch without the cast on his glove hand, but we’ll need to see him hit before we have a better sense of exactly when he’s going to return to Boston’s lineup.

Red Sox placed 1B Willson Contreras on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain.

According to the Boston Globe’s Tim Healey, Contreras has been dealing with a hamstring issue for about a month. Between that and getting hit in the head against the Dodgers on August 1st, Contreras has slashed 217/.330/.386 since then. Perhaps a two-week reset will help the first baseman recapture some of his previous form before the end of the season.

ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports that the White Sox are acquiring outfielder Tommy Pham from the Phillies.

Since Pham is not on the 40-man roster, he is eligible to be traded despite the fact that the trade deadline has passed. Pham is expected to join the White Sox when rosters expand on Tuesday. He was 0-for-13 in his brief stint with the Mets earlier this season, and hit .245/.330/.370 in 120 plate appearances for the Pirates last year.
