Emmanuel Rodriguez: Everything you need to know

The Twins announced Saturday that Rodriguez is still experiencing some discomfort in his strained left thumb and has yet to resume swinging a bat, Rodriguez had slashed .247/.417/.506 with six home runs and three stolen bases over 25 games for Triple-A St. Paul to begin the season before suffering the thumb injury May 1 on a headfirst slide into first base. The Twins won't clear him to swing the bat until he's free of symptoms of the thumb injury, so Rodriguez would still appear to be at the week-to-week stage of his recovery process.

Triple-A St. Paul placed Rodriguez (thumb) on the 7-day injured list May 6. Rodriguez suffered a muscle strain in his thumb and has not played since May 1. He has slashed .247/.417/.506 with six home runs, three steals, a 21.3 percent walk rate and a 28.7 percent strikeout rate in 25 games for the Saints.

Rodriguez is day-to-day for Triple-A St. Paul with a muscle strain in his thumb, Theodore Tollefson of Zone Coverage MN reports. He took batting practice over the weekend and there is supposedly a good chance he'll be back in the lineup sometime this week, per Tollefson. Rodriguez, who left the Saints' game May 1 with the injury, had a right thumb sprain in 2024 that only cost him a week of action, although he has missed significant time due to various ailments throughout his career. He is slashing .247/.417/.506 with six home runs and three steals in 25 games, and as a member of the 40-man roster, Rodriguez could get the call at any point once he's healthy.
