Rodriguez (hamstring) has had to stop playing games in extended spring training. "His legs got tired and heavy, and he had some aches or pains and whatever," manager Bryan Price said. "He wasn't able to carry the workload we had assigned him. From the last injury report, he's feeling much better as of yesterday. He should be re-invested in playing in some games soon."
The Reds still have to decide what to do with Rodriguez once he returns from the DL, being out of options. This setback at least buys them some time.
