Rodriguez’s first round-tripper of the season traveled a whopping 451 feet and left his bat at 113.6 mph. That’ll work. The 23-year-old top prospect’s stock has slipped a bit over the past calendar year as injuries limited him to just 65 games in the minors last season. His blend of power and patience should make him an impactful fantasy contributor once he reaches the majors. There’s zero incentive for the rebuilding Twins to rush him, but he figures to make it to Minnesota at some point later this year.

By moving nine players out of big league camp on Monday, the Twins are now down to 49 players remaining. Rodriguez, 23, was absolutely sizzling at the plate in Grapefruit League play — hitting .421 (8-for-19) with a pair of homers and four RBI. As long as he’s able to stay healthy, it shouldn’t be long before he breaks through and makes his debut with the Twins.

He is 3-for-4 in his two games this spring. Rodriguez has had huge problems staying in the field, but he shines when healthy, having hit .254/.424/.488 with 50 homers and 59 steals in 295 games over five minor league seasons. It’ll be fascinating to see if he either or Walker Jenkins can break into the Minnesota outfield sometime this summer.

Rodriguez, who went 4-for-18 in five Low-A rehab games, has been out since mid-July with a strained oblique. He previously missed a month with a hip injury, so he’s taken part in just 43 games for St. Paul this year, hitting .254/.411/.428.

Rodriguez was activated off the IL earlier in the day after being out with a hip injury since May 30th. It was quite the return for the Twins’ top prospect, who is the 46th-ranked prospect in baseball, according to MLB Pipeline. With trade rumors swirling around Trevor Larnach, Matt Wallner, and Willi Castro, there’s a chance we could see Rodriguez up in Minnesota at the end of this season if he can remain healthy.

Nothing specific regarding the exact nature of the injury, but Rodriguez is going to miss some time. The 22-year-old top prospect has gotten off to a slow start this season at Triple-A St. Paul, hitting .232/.400/.392 with four homers and six steals across 39 games. He remains a top-40 range prospect for dynasty purposes given his plate skills and power combination.
