Endy Rodriguez (elbow) was placed on the 60-day IL yesterday after Dr. Neal ElAttrache, the surgeon of record for Rodriguez's elbow surgery, recommended a PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injection, Don Kelly said this afternoon.
"He'll get next week and then four weeks of complete rest before he starts to ramp back up," Kelly said. "So unfortunately it will be a little while."
Kelly added that Rodriguez's ligament is stable, so there are no concerns there. Rodriguez was placed on the IL on June 7 after exiting Bailey Falter's start against the Phillies the night before.
