Emmanuel Rodriguez To Miss Time With Sprained Ankle
The 2025 season has not yet officially begun, but injuries continue to plague Twins outfielder Emmanuel Rodriguez. According to Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune, Rodriguez has a left ankle sprain that will delay his participation in camp for “a week or two.” The No. 2 Twins prospect and a top-20 prospect in all of baseball, Rodriguez has elite strike zone discipline and huge raw power, but he has struggled with strikeouts (a 30% career minor league strikeout rate) and a slew of injuries that have limited him to just 230 games in four seasons. Rodriguez dealt with a hand injury in 2020, a knee sprain in 2022, an abdomen injury in 2023 and a lingering thumb injury in 2024 that required surgery after the season.
