Seattle Mariners center fielder Julio Rodriguez left Sunday’s game vs. the Astros in the sixth inning with an apparent right ankle injury.
A Mariners trainer and manager Scott Servais rushed out to attend to Rodriguez, who was able to walk off the field on his own with a slight limp.
Houston scored on the play to cut the Seattle lead to 3-2. The Astros took the first two games of the three-game series.
Rodriguez finished his day 0-for-3, lowering his season batting average to .263. A year after racking up 103 RBIs and 32 home runs, Rodriguez has just 37 and 11 in those respective categories in 2024.
