Detroit — The Tigers are going to be without left-handed starter Eduardo Rodriguez indefinitely, and not because of an injury.
The club announced before the game Monday they had placed Rodriguez on the restricted list. He will not be paid during his absence and he does not count against the 40-man roster.
“Eduardo Rodriguez has informed the club that due to personal matters, he will not rejoin the team at this time,” read a statement from general manager Al Avila. “As a result, Eduardo has been placed on the restricted list until further notice.”
Manager AJ Hinch said he has talked to Rodriguez but couldn’t speak much on the issue.
