What happened to Julio Rodriguez? Live injury updates for Reds vs. Mariners on 7/20/26

By: Stan Son

In the bottom of the fifth inning of Monday’s game against the Cincinnati Reds, Julio Rodriguez was replaced by Weston Wilson. Rodriguez hit a dribbler to shortstop and beat the throw to first base. In the process, though, the throw hit Rodriguez and he immediately grabbed at the back of his hamstring. It’s not known if being hit by the ball or running out the grounder caused the injury, but Rodriguez went into the dugout and is out for the game.

Prior to exiting, Rodriguez went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a strikeout.

Since Rodriguez had over two at-bats in the game, he is not eligible for DraftKings Early Exit.

Stay tuned to DK Network for live updates on his injury status.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
