Rays' Manuel Rodriguez: TJ surgery not a certainty
Manuel Rodriguez will have right elbow surgery Aug. 8 to address a flexor tendon repair, and his UCL will be evaluated during the surgery to determine if any additional procedures are needed, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.An earlier report indicated Rodriguez will need Tommy John surgery, and while that remains a possibility, the full extent of the reliever's procedure won't be determined until the flexor tendon repair takes place. While Rodriguez is almost certain to miss the remainder of the 2025 campaign regardless, he could pitch in 2026 if Tommy John surgery is not needed. Assuming Rodriguez is indeed done for the current campaign, he'll finish with a 2.08 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 25:6 K:BB over 30.1 innings spanning 31 appearances while notching 12 holds.

Rays' Manuel Rodriguez: Scheduled for TJ surgery
Manuel Rodriguez (forearm) will undergo Tommy John surgery Aug. 8, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.Rodriguez initially landed on the injured list in mid-June with a forearm strain. However, he suffered a setback in mid-July that caused him to move to the 60-day IL, and he'll now officially miss the remainder of the 2025 season. The timing of the 28-year-old's procedure also gives him little hope of pitching in 2026, leaving spring of 2027 as his likely return date.

Rays' Manuel Rodriguez: Looking dominant to start season
Manuel Rodriguez walked two with no strikeouts while allowing no hits across a scoreless seventh inning Sunday against the Yankees.It wasn't Rodriguez's sharpest outing, but he has now gone six straight appearances without allowing a run and hasn't allowed an earned run in 12 of his 15 outings for the season. He's a key setup man in the Tampa Bay Rays' bullpen -- he has six holds -- but is unlikely to see many save chances, particularly while Pete Fairbanks is healthy.
