General manager Mike Elias said Saturday that Rodriguez (lat) will be shut down from throwing for 10 days and hopes Rodriguez will be back sometime in September, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Rodriguez is dealing with a mild right lat strain and was placed on the IL on Wednesday. While he'll be eligible to return Aug. 19, he's not expected to be activated until September. The 24-year-old has a 3.86 ERA and 130 strikeouts over 116.2 innings this season. Albert Suarez started in Rodriguez's place Tuesday and is expected to remain in the rotation while Rodriguez is sidelined.
