"Playing second base, Rodgers dove to his left for a hard line drive off the bat of Twins shortstop. He briefly snow-coned the liner, but the ball popped out of his glove upon a hard impact with the ground. Rodgers was in clear, immediate pain and left the field with the Red Sox training staff."
"Cora said Tuesday that Rodgers is "most likely" going to require shoulder surgery. Rodgers already underwent a CT scan and MRI on his shoulder, and Cora has previously stated that the results from those tests "didn't look great." Rodgers is headed for another opinion from renowned surgeon Dr. Neal ElAttrache to confirm his outlook."
"Rodgers, 29, has already undergone one surgery on each of his shoulders. He suffered a torn labrum during his rookie season back in 2019 and underwent surgery that July. In 2023, he suffered what was originally termed a dislocated left shoulder during spring training."
Brendan Rodgers sustained a right shoulder injury in late February while playing second base during Red Sox spring training. The injury occurred when he dove for a line drive, briefly catching it before the ball popped out upon impact with the ground. Red Sox manager Alex Cora indicated the injury is "most likely" requiring surgery after CT and MRI results "didn't look great." Rodgers is seeking a second opinion from renowned surgeon Dr. Neal ElAttrache. This marks his third shoulder-related injury, having previously undergone surgery for a torn labrum in 2019 and left shoulder labrum tearing in 2023. The injury threatens his opportunity to compete for a roster spot alongside former Rockies teammate Trevor Story.
