Julio Rodriguez (back) out Friday for Mariners
Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez (back) is not available for Friday's series opener against right-hander Brady Singer and the Kansas City Royals.
What It Means:
Rodriguez left Thursday's game against the Oakland Athletics in the first inning due to lower-back tightness, which is the same issue that sidelined him for three games last weekend. It remains to be seen if Rodriguez will miss more than Friday's contest. Jarred Kelenic will cover center field on Friday while Adam Frazier moves out to left and Abraham Toro starts on second base.
Kelenic has a $2,000 salary on Friday and numberFire’s models project him for 9.2 FanDuel points. Toro has the same salary and is projected for 8.9 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Mariners’ implied total (3.54) is tied for No. 21 in the majors today.
