The Detroit Tigers have had no communication with Eduardo Rodriguez since placing the star pitcher on the restricted list three weeks ago, according to general manager Al Avila, who said the team has "no choice but to wait it out right now."
Avila addressed Rodriguez's status Wednesday, 23 days after the left-hander was placed on the restricted list because of a personal matter. The Tigers announced at the time that Rodriguez would not rejoin the team "until further notice," and Avila noted Wednesday that situation is "unusual."
"We've reached out, but obviously he hasn't reached out back, so we're just kind of waiting it out," Avila told reporters.
