Mariners CF Julio Rodríguez departs with back tightness
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Seattle Mariners rookie Julio Rodríguez has left the team’s game at Oakland because of lower back tightness. Rodríguez doubled and scored in the top of the first. The center fielder walked off the field slowly with a trainer in the bottom of the inning. Jarred Kelenic moved from left to center field and Sam Haggerty entered the game in left. Rodríguez recently missed three games in Anaheim with a lower back issue.
