While the Pirates made multiple roster moves, Rodriguez hitting the 10-day injured list is the most notable. The 26-year-old catcher is a key part of Pittsburgh's roster, so it is undoubtedly tough news that he is going to be sidelined as they look to heat back up.

Rodriguez has appeared in 45 games this season with the Pirates, Rodriguez has recorded six doubles, seven home runs, 20 RBI, and a .267 batting average. This was after he had a .173 batting average in 18 games with the Pirates during this past season. With that, there is no question that the three-year MLB veteran has taken a nice step in the right direction with his development this season.
It will now be interesting to see how the Pirates perform with Rodriguez sidelined for them. At the time of this writing, the Pirates have a 58-64 record and are six games behind the Arizona Diamondbacks and Philadelphia Phillies for the final NL wild card spot.
