Twins' Emmanuel Rodriguez: Back on Triple-A IL
Emmanuel Rodriguez was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday due to a right thumb sprain, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.Rodriguez first injured the thumb back in late April and has now aggravated the injury at least twice. He was limited to just 47 games and 209 plate appearances in 2024, so the Minnesota Twins might want him to play winter ball once he's healthy to make up for lost time. Rodriguez still performed well when on the field, collecting a 1.026 OPS with nine homers and nine steals over four stops.
