Mariners' Julio Rodriguez: Officially placed on 7-day IL
Rotowire
The Mariners placed Rodriguez (concussion) on the 7-day injured list Friday.

He's eligible to be reinstated from the IL on July 10, but whether Rodriguez returns before the All-Star break will depend on how he progresses. In a corresponding move, the Mariners selected Miles Mastrobuoni's contract from Triple-A Tacoma and transferred Cooper Criswell (shoulder) to the 60-day IL.

Mariners' Julio Rodriguez: Three hits, two runs in win
Rotowire
Rodriguez went 3-for-5 with two runs scored in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Angels.
Rodriguez struggled in the middle of June, but he turned it around in the final week. He's on a seven-game hitting streak, a span in which he has gone 12-for-29 (.414). The one negative during his streak is a lack of power -- all 12 hits have been singles.

Mariners' Julio Rodriguez: Swats homer in loss
Rotowire
Rodriguez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Red Sox.
Rodriguez homered in the ninth inning to keep the Mariners from getting shut out. It's encouraging that the 25-year-old was able to play the full game in center field after exiting Wednesday's contest due to hamstring spasms, which also forced him to sit Thursday. It's unclear if he'll get any rest in the coming days, but he should be good to handle a starting role in the long run. Friday's long ball was his first since June 2, and Rodriguez is now batting .249 with a .745 OPS, 14 homers, 37 RBI, 41 runs scored, nine stolen bases and 15 doubles over 76 games this season.
