Rodriguez is considered day-to-day with a muscle strain in his thumb but could return to the Triple-A St. Paul lineup within a few days, Theodore Tollefson of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

He took batting practice over the weekend, which bodes well for his chances of avoiding an extended absence. Rodriguez, who left St. Paul's game May 1 with the injury, had a right thumb sprain in 2024 that only cost him a week of action, although he has missed significant time due to various ailments throughout his career. He is slashing .247/.417/.506 with six home runs and three steals in 25 games, and as a member of the Twins' 40-man roster, Rodriguez could get the call to the majors at any point once he's healthy.
