Sean Rodriguez went 2-for-2 with a two-run homer Saturday against the Red Sox.
Rodriguez homered off Alfredo Aceves in the third and then was hit by the right-hander next time up. It was a splitter that hit him, so it seems unlikely that it was intentional, but there was some jawing afterwards and Rodriguez nearly charged the mound from first base. Fortunately, cooler heads prevailed. Mar 16 - 5:01 PM

Sean Rodriguez - OF - Rays

Rays and INF Sean Rodriguez avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $1 million contract.

Rodriguez was arbitration-eligible for the first time this winter. The 27-year-old batted just .213/.281/.326 with six homers and a .607 OPS this past season and will likely be used in a part-time role in 2013.

Sean Rodriguez - OF - Rays

Sean Rodriguez (hand) has been cleared to begin hitting.

Rodriguez fractured his right hand last month when he punched a locker in frustration following a dispute with a teammate at Triple-A Durham, but he hit soft toss Monday and should progress to batting practice on Tuesday. He was activated from the DL over the weekend, so he could be used as a pinch-runner right now, but he should be ready for full baseball activities soon.

Sean Rodriguez - OF - Rays

Rays activated INF Sean Rodriguez from the 15-day disabled list.

Rodriguez reportedly punched a locker when he was demoted to Triple-A Durham last month, and still isn't completely recovered from the injury. The Rays will use him primarily as a defensive replacement down the stretch, so he doesn't figure to have a prominent role.

Sean Rodriguez (hand) will play catch Tuesday evening without a splint and could be activated Saturday.

Rodriguez has been on the disabled list since the end of August with a fractured bone in his right hand that he suffered during an altercation with a teammate at Triple-A Durham. He'll serve as a pinch-runner and defensive sub over the final couple weeks of the regular season.

Sean Rodriguez - OF - Rays

Rays recalled INF Sean Rodriguez from Triple-A Durham; placed him on the 15-day disabled list with a right hand fracture.

It's a procedural move, as he is now eligible to be on the postseason roster should the Rays make it that far. Rodriguez fractured a bone in his right hand Sunday after punching a locker during an altercation with a teammate at Triple-A Durham and could return at some point during September.

Sean Rodriguez will not need surgery to repair the fracture in his right hand.

Rodriguez fractured a bone in his right hand Sunday after punching a locker during an altercation with a teammate at Triple-A Durham. He's expected to return in about three weeks, which means he should be around for the final couple weeks of the regular season.

Sean Rodriguez fractured a bone in his right hand Sunday after punching a locker during an altercation with a teammate at Triple-A Durham.

"It was stupid and immature," said Rodriguez, who was optioned to Triple-A Durham last week. The Rays were expected to call him back up when rosters expand on Saturday, but that won't happen now.

Sean Rodriguez - OF - Rays

Rays optioned INF Sean Rodriguez to Triple-A Durham.

He was sent down to make room for Luke Scott's return from the disabled list. It's not an unexpected move, as Rodriguez has options remaining and will return from the minors when rosters expand in September. The 27-year-old infielder is batting just .215/.278/.330 with six homers, 32 RBI and a .608 OPS in 335 plate appearances this season.

Sean Rodriguez - OF - Rays

Sean Rodriguez could be optioned to Triple-A when Luke Scott (oblique) returns from the disabled list next week.

Rodriguez's .590 OPS this season is the fifth-worst in baseball among those that have accumulated at least 300 plate appearances. The Rays are working in Ben Zobrist at shortstop -- a position he hadn't played since 2009 -- which could help make Rodriguez expendable.

Sean Rodriguez - OF - Rays

Sean Rodriguez finished 3-for-4 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's 7-4 defeat of the Yankees.

Rodriguez hit his two-run shot in the fourth inning, a double in the sixth inning and a single in the eighth inning. He also stole a base. The 27-year-old infielder is now batting .221/.272/.351 with six dingers, 24 RBI and four steals in 77 games.

Sean Rodriguez - OF - Rays

Sean Rodriguez went 0-for-4 in Thursday's loss and is hitting .162 in 37 at-bats this month.

With Even Longoria maybe a week away, Rodriguez needs to get hot or risk losing most of his playing time. Elliot Johnson figures to be the Rays' primary shortstop after Longoria returns.

Sean Rodriguez - OF - Rays

Sean Rodriguez went 1-for-4 with the Rays only extra base hit and run scored in a loss to Brian Matusz and the Orioles on Saturday.

On the night, the Rays offense as a whole only managed a pair of hits against Matusz who was tremendous. Rodriguez has been alternating between second and third base for the Rays since Evan Longoria's injury, and has provided decent run production with five homers and 17 RBI. If fantasy owners can handle his weak average, he makes for a solid middle infield play in deeper mixed and AL-only leagues.

Sean Rodriguez - OF - Rays

Sean Rodriguez deep-sixed the Red Sox in Sunday's 4-3 win in Boston, taking Alfredo Aceves deep for what would be prove to be the game-winning, two-run homer in the ninth.

Rodriguez's stunning blast came with one out. His 27th home run in 366 career games was his fifth of the season. Now batting .241/.291/.379 to go along with two steals and 16 RBI, Rodriguez is a middling option in AL-only leagues.
