Mariners hoping Julio Rodriguez will rejoin team after All-Star break

(ST. PETERSBURG)- When the Seattle Mariners come out of the All-Star break on Friday, it seems likely that they will have Julio Rodríguez in the lineup for that night’s game against the Giants at T-Mobile Park, according to mariners.com.

Manager Dan Wilson said prior to the team’s first-half finale against the Rays at Tropicana Field that “all signs are pointing to” Rodríguez returning to action in time for Seattle’s first game after the break.

Rodriguez has been on the concussion injured list since July 3, one day after he was hit in the back of his helmet by a throw to second base.
