Texas Rangers reliever Joely Rodriguez has a lat injury, per the beat guys on Twitter. The lefthanded relief pitcher suffered the injury in April.
Rodriguez is on the 40 man roster, having been signed to a major league deal this offseason. He put up a 1.85 ERA in 87.2 IP over 90 games for Chunichi in the Japanese League over the second half of 2018 and all of 2019, and upon deciding to return to the United States, he had several teams pursuing him, with the Rangers ultimately landing him on a 2 year, $5.
