Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez went yard for the third consecutive game on Sunday in an 8-4 win over the Detroit Tigers. Rodriguez blasted a solo home run off right-hander Jack Flaherty in the third inning, but that was hardly his lone contribution. He also chipped in an RBI double, drew two walks, stole a base, and scored three times in a 2-for-3 afternoon as the Mariners completed a three-game road sweep. Rodriguez terrorized the Tigers all weekend, finishing the series 6-for-12 with three HRs, six RBI, eight runs, two steals, and four walks. An All-Star for the third time this season, Rodriguez enters the break hitting .252/.313/.417 with 14 homers, 50 RBI, 63 runs, and 17 steals in 431 plate appearances. The 24-year-old is poised to begin his career with four 20/20 seasons in a row.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez had a monster game in his team's 15-7 win over the Detroit Tigers on Saturday, going 3-for-5 with a walk, home run, two additional runs scored, three RBI, and a stolen base. The 24-year-old All-Star hasn't lived up to his massive potential so far in 2025, slashing .249/.308/.405 with 13 home runs, 48 RBI, 60 runs, and 16 stolen bases. Even so, Rodriguez remains a high-level fantasy option because of his five-category potential while playing every day in a resurgent Seattle lineup. He won't participate in the All-Star game due to a desire to take time to recuperate, so fantasy managers can hope the extra rest will power him to a big second half.

Shannon Drayer of Sports.MyNorthwest.com reports that Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez will not be able to participate in this season's All-Star game. Per the team, "He will take the break to recuperate, rest, and prepare for the second half." It's an interesting way for that statement to be worded, though the sentiment is clear. The Dominican Republic native has missed only one of Seattle's 93 games thus far, even while dealing with back and ankle ailments, so a few extra days of rest wouldn't be the worst thing for him. Despite the strange syntax, fantasy managers shouldn't worry about any underlying issues, as the organization is likely just keeping their star player fresh for the second half. He's slashing a disappointing .244/.301/.386 in his worst pre-All-Star stretch to date.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez (lower leg) is in Sunday's lineup. Rodriguez will cover center field and bat in the two-hole. The 24-year-old exited Saturday's game after taking a line drive on his foot. However, after the game, his X-rays came back negative, and he was cleared to play on Sunday. Over his last eight contests, Rodriguez has begun to heat up at the plate, posting a strong .387/.406/.452 slash line with a triple, four stolen bases, and a 9:1 K:BB. Before this recent surge at the plate, the former top prospect held a slightly lower .272/.316/.457 line over his last 23 games. This afternoon, Rodriguez is a viable target in DFS facing Los Angeles left-hander Tyler Anderson, who enters this game holding a most 3.86 ERA.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez (ankle) needed to be helped off the field by trainers during Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. It's never a good sign to see a player needing to be helped off the field, but luckily it sounds like Rodriguez has avoided serious injury. The X-rays came back negative, so Rodriguez is currently considered day-to-day with a bruised ankle. The Mariners are hopeful that Rodriguez will be able to avoid a trip to the injured list. The swelling in his ankle could force him to miss a few games, but hopefully he'll return early next week. Fantasy managers will need to check back for another update.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez (ankle) exited his team's contest against the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday after a line drive hit him on an attempted steal. Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reported the news. The 24-year-old was on the move towards third base in the top of the third inning when teammate Randy Arozarena tattooed a 98.1 MPH line drive that bounced off his right ankle/shin area. He was then helped off the field by two trainers. Rodriguez was clearly in pain and will finish his outing 2-for-2 with two singles, a run scored, and a steal. He'll likely head for some diagnostic imaging. Expect an update on him soon.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez had a nice game at the plate in Tuesday's 9-1 win over the Nationals. Rodriguez went 3-for-5 with two singles, a two-run home run, and three RBI. The 24-year-old muscled a first-inning Mitchell Parker inside pitch over the left-center wall to get the M's on the board early. J Rod has slashed .244/.318/.432 with 10 HR, 32 RBI, and six stolen bases in 236 plate appearances. The fantasy pieces have been there to a degree, but Rodriguez has not provided the overall value fantasy managers were hoping for to this point. He does have six hits in his last two games, so hopefully, he can keep his offensive momentum going and pick things up.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez (back) is back in center field and is batting third in Friday's contest in Houston against the Astros at Daikin Park against right-hander Ryan Gusto. The Mariners scratched Rodriguez as a precaution in Thursday's series opener due to tightness in his back, but he is returning the very next day and should be returned to all starting fantasy lineups against an inexperienced pitcher. The 24-year-old Dominican and former American League Rookie of the Year has cleared the fences twice in his last three games and has hit .240 (12-for-50) with three homers, a double, 11 RBI and seven runs scored in 12 games in the last 14 days. J-Rod is hitting a disappointing .231 (45-for-195) on the year, but his xBA of .266 points to positive regression as the 2025 season progresses. He has hit safely in eight of his last nine games.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez (back) was scratched from Thursday's lineup against the Astros due to back tightness he experienced during batting practice, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. Manager Dan Wilson said Rodriguez is considered day-to-day, so his status is unclear for Friday's game against the Astros. Since Rodriguez was warming up to play and experienced the tightness about 30 minutes before first pitch, he will likely be back in the lineup sometime Friday or Saturday. However, fantasy managers will want to monitor his status leading up to Friday's tilt against the Houston Astros. Leody Taveras shifted to centerfield in his absence, while Randy Arozarena and Miles Mastrobuoni occupied the other two outfield spots.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez (undisclosed) was scratched from Thursday's starting lineup against the hosting Houston Astros at Daikin Park for undisclosed reasons, according to Seattle Sports' Shannon Drayer. The Mariners are expected to have an update on Rodriguez after the series opener in Houston, so fantasy managers will want to check back then. With J-Rod out, Leody Taveras is starting in center field and batting sixth against Astros right-hander Lance McCullers Jr. If Rodriguez is dealing with a serious injury that sidelines him for an extended period of time, Taveras would benefit from regular playing time in center in Seattle. It would be bad timing for an injury to Rodriguez, as he's been heating up at the plate in May with a .270/.308/.486 slash line, five home runs, a double, 14 RBI and 11 runs scored in 18 games played.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez had the biggest hit of the game in his team's 5-1 victory over the White Sox in Chicago. He hit his eighth homer of the year in the eighth inning with the bases loaded off White Sox left-handed relief pitcher Cam Booser. Rodriguez's blast opened up a 5-0 lead and proved to be the difference in the game after the Sox scored a run in the ninth. Rodriguez is still hitting only .235 on the season with a .319 wOBA and five stolen bases. He has hit safely in 11 of his last 12 games, though, with a .314 batting average, .363 wOBA, and 41.9% hard-hit rate over that span. While his stolen base production has been a disappointment this season, Rodriguez is still a key contributor for Seattle and brings a high ceiling with plenty of power potential on a nightly basis.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez went 3-for-5 with a home run during their victory over the Athletics on Tuesday evening. Rodriguez went deep in the opening frame with a solo shot off Athletics left-hander Jeffrey Springs. Over his past nine contests, the 24-year-old has begun to find his power as he has gone deep three times over this stretch, and held a strong .289/.357/.553 slash line with three home runs, one double, and a 5:3 K:BB. During his first 26 games of the regular season, the former top prospect posted a .196/.311/.353 line with three home runs and a 28:14 K:BB. Rodriguez has generated a .355 xwOBA with a .475 xSLG, which suggests he should remain productive at the plate throughout the summer. He will look to stay hot on Wednesday, facing right-hander Gunner Hoglund.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez will get his first day off the season on Saturday afternoon when the Mariners continue a series against the Toronto Blue Jays. Rodriguez has gone just 1-for-16 over his last four contests with a 20.0 percent strikeout rate. Fantasy managers should expect the star outfielder to return to the starting nine on Sunday. Through the first 20 games of the campaign, the former top prospect has held an underwhelming .179/.304/.359 slash line with three home runs. However, a look under the hood suggests Rodriguez should see significant positive regression throughout the season. He has generated a strong .352 xwOBA with a 93.7 mph average exit velocity and a 75.3 mph bat speed, which are all well above the average marks. With Rodriguez sitting out, Luke Raley will cover center field, and Miles Mastrobuoni will enter the starting nine. The Mariners are a viable stack in DFS facing Toronto right-hander Jose Berrios.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez did a little bit of everything during Friday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Rodriguez was hitless over his last two games coming into Friday's contest, but he made up for it here. He went 3-for-6 with a home run, stolen base, and one walk in a wild 10-9 loss in 11 innings. Rodriguez took right-hander Justin Verlander deep for his second blast of the season. The 24-year-old hasn't been great at the plate this season, but remains a must-start fantasy option. Hopefully this performance will help Rodriguez get it going at the plate.

Seattle Mariners young star, Julio Rodriguez, blasted his first home run of the 2025 season on Sunday against left-handed pitcher JP Sears. His two-run home run proved to be enough to help the Mariners secure a 2-1 victory and split their four-game series against the Athletics to open the 2025 campaign. Rodriguez is off to a slow start to the year, going 2-for-12 with three walks, two stolen bases, and six strikeouts, so hopefully, this home run can get him some confidence going into their next series against the Detroit Tigers. Fantasy managers can continue to start Rodriguez in all formats, as the 24-year-old is looking to bounce back from a poor 2024 season, where he only hit 20 home runs compared to 28 and 32 in 2022 and 2023, respectively.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez (illness) is starting in center field and batting second in Friday's split-squad Cactus League game against the Cincinnati Reds. Rodriguez is back in spring training action after taking a couple days off this week due to an illness. After a down year by his standards in 2024, the 24-year-old outfielder is currently hitting just .229 with three home runs in 13 Cactus League games in Arizona. The two-time All-Star, former American League Rookie of the Year and two-time Silver Slugger winner had a career-low .734 OPS in 2024 but still managed 20 home runs and 24 stolen bases in 143 games played in his third year in the league. However, he posted only 68 RBI after driving in over 100 runs in 2023. A bounce-back year in 2025 is entirely possible for J-Rod, who is still a top-10 fantasy outfielder.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez (illness) was scratched from Monday's Cactus League lineup against the division-rival Athletics due to an illness. Luke Raley is taking over in center field for the M's and will bat fifth in the lineup. Rodriguez should be considered day-to-day for now, but he shouldn't have any issues recovering in time for Opening Day next Thursday. The 24-year-old All-Star outfielder has gone 8-for-35 (.229) with three home runs, three doubles, 11 RBI, one steal and five runs scored in 13 spring training games to this point. J-Rod, who was an All-Star in both of his first two seasons in the big leagues, was a disappointment to fantasy managers in his third year in 2024, although he still finished with 20 home runs and 24 stolen bases in 143 games. He could easily bounce back in 2025 and is a surefire top-10 fantasy outfielder.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 8-1 win over the Astros, keeping the team's playoff hopes alive. The home run was Rodriguez's 20th of the season, earning him his third consecutive 20/20 season to start his career. Despite a slow start to the season, the 23-year-old has rewarded managers who persevered and made the fantasy playoffs with him, collecting a hit now in seven straight games while hitting .336 with seven home runs in September (23 games). Rodriguez and the Mariners will face a familiar opponent this weekend in the A's but will face lefty JP Sears specifically on Friday who the 2x All-Star is just 3-for-19 off of lifetime, including five strikeouts and no extra-base hits.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez continued to hit the ball well on Saturday, going 4-for-6 with a home run, four RBI, two runs scored, and a stolen base in an 8-4 win over the Rangers. It was the second consecutive game with a home run after a two-homer game on Friday, giving him 19 on the season. Over the last eight games, the 23-year-old has gone 18-for-38 (.474) with two doubles, five home runs, 14 RBI, eight runs scored, and a stolen base. It seems he's making up for the power drought he exhibited for much of the season and the former A.L. Rookie of the Year is now just one home run away from a 20/20 season. The 2x All-Star also has his slashline up to a respectable .273/.327/.409 and his newfound production is coming at the most critical time of the fantasy season.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez stayed hot in Friday's 8-2 win over the Rangers, belting a pair of home runs in a 3-for-5 day at the plate while collecting five RBI and scoring twice. Both home runs came off of Rangers reliever Jack Leiter and it was the 23-year-old's fourth multi-hit effort in his last seven games. The glaring part of Rodriguez's game that's been missing this season has been his power, but he's knocked five home runs so far this month, the most in any single month this season. The former A.L. Rookie of the Year should still hit the 20-homer plateau before the season is out despite the slow start, putting him on track for a 20/20 campaign, now authoring a .268-18-59-68-22 line with a .317 wOBA and 113 wRC+.
