2024 Fantasy Outlook
Rodriguez's post-hype sleeper status will have to wait until 2025, as offseason right elbow surgery will sideline him through the 2024 season. He boasted a pristine track record of results in the minor leagues entering the 2023 season. Between his work with the bat and defensive versatility, it seemed that even the Pirates' conservative nature with prospects wouldn't prevent Rodriguez from bursting onto the big-league scene early in 2023. Things didn't quite go according to plan, however, as he scuffled his way to a 95 wRC+ across 315 plate appearances at Triple-A Indianapolis, and even once he found his way to the majors in mid-July, his struggles continued. In addition to his strikeout rate jumping to 24 percent, Rodriguez had just a 5.1 percent barrel rate. There's no sugarcoating his corresponding .220/.284/.328 line in 204 plate appearances in Pittsburgh. In addition to his excellent minor-league track record, Rodriguez posted a max exit velocity of 110.7 mph and walked at a respectable 8.3 percent clip -- suggesting both his power and patience have the chance to translate at the highest level when he returns to action in 2025.

To begin swinging bat next week
Rodriguez (elbow) will begin a swinging progression from the left side next week, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
It's the next step in recovery as Rodriguez continues to work his way back from offseason Tommy John surgery. He'll be sidelined until 2025.

Recent RotoWire Articles Featuring Endy Rodriguez See More
The NL Central is full of job battles as always this spring, though in a pleasant turn from most recent seasons, many of them feature exciting players like Chicago's Christopher Morel.
James Anderson put together a super-early top 300 for 2024 redraft fantasy baseball leagues and Ronald Acuna was the undisputed choice atop the rankings.
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Rodriguez put on an offensive masterclass last season, slashing .323/.407/.590 with a 19.0 K%, 11.3 BB%, 25 home runs and four steals in 125 games across the three highest levels of the minors. He primarily played catcher, but also played 18 games at second base, showcasing his versatility and decent athleticism relative to most catching prospects. Steamer even projects Rodriguez as a significantly above-average MLB hitter as a rookie (118 wRC+). There's essentially nothing to nitpick in the stats -- his strikeout rate dipped at every level he ascended to and he had an ISO north of .240 at all three levels. While Rodriguez is a solid athlete who can play other infield positions in a pinch, he isn't a Bo Naylor or Daulton Varsho type of stolen-base threat. There is no reason Rodriguez shouldn't debut sometime early in 2023, as he is already on the 40-man roster, but even the best catching prospects sometimes struggle initially against big-league pitching, and Rodriguez's team context will suppress counting stats.
