Rodriguez (back) is expected to be activated from the 15-day injured list at some point this week, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Rodriguez has been shelved since early September with a lower-back strain, but his activation is imminent after he made three rehab appearances for Triple-A Durham. The righty has appeared in only four games for the Rays in 2026, as he got a late start to the season while recovering from flexor tendon surgery.
