There was some bad news and a bit of good news around the Pittsburgh Pirates system today. Here’s a rundown of a busy day.
Endy Rodriguez has been placed on the 7-day IL. He had a throw yesterday that went erratic, then got a visit from the trainer and left the game. It was said that he wasn’t showing signs of a significant injury, but we won’t be seeing him for at least a week now. I’m sure there will be some update soon.
Rodriguez is hitting .263/.333/.456 in 14 games this season.
Travis Swaggerty has been placed on the 7-day IL, with the move made retroactive to yesterday.
