Giants reliever Randy Rodríguez was diagnosed with a flexor strain, prompting a two-week shutdown from throwing and further evaluation, raising concerns about potential elbow surgery.
Despite his injury, Rodríguez has showcased a strong debut season with a 3.93 ERA, nearly 25% strikeout rate, and has earned critical pitching opportunities recently.
Rodríguez's situation is complicated with only five weeks left in the regular season, making a return this year uncertain, especially with the need to regain game shape.
With closer Camilo Doval sent to Triple-A, the Giants will rely on other relievers as they navigate the challenges of Rodríguez's absence in crucial late-game scenarios.
