Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez faces an extended recovery period after experiencing tightness during a bullpen session, complicating his return to the team.
- Eduardo Rodriguez, recently signed for a four-year, $80 million deal, reported tightness in his left lat, leading to a pause in his throwing program.
- The setback occurred during a bullpen session, and subsequent MRI results showed persistent issues, prompting the team to halt his recovery efforts.
- Rodriguez initially suffered the injury during a spring training game and started the season on the 15-day injured list.
