The Angels announced Friday that Rodriguez (shoulder) will be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Sunday's game against the Dodgers.
Rodriguez will be making his first big-league appearance since July 31, 2024, with multiple arm injuries keeping him on the shelf for nearly two years. He missed the first month and a half of the 2026 campaign while recovering from right shoulder inflammation, which he suffered at the end of spring training. Rodriguez made two rehab starts, allowing three runs on 12 hits and two walks with 18 strikeouts across 9.2 innings. The righty built up to 94 pitches in his most recent outing with Single-A Rancho Cucamonga last weekend, so he shouldn't be too limited from a workload standpoint in his Angels debut.
