2024 Fantasy Outlook
Rodriguez followed up with his excellent rookie season with an even more productive sophomore season excelling in all five scoring categories on his way to finishing as the 8th most valuable fantasy player in standard formats in 2023. Rodriguez was the only player in the American League to hit at least 30 homers, both score and drive in over 100, while also stealing more than 30 bags while Acuna Jr bested him in every category overall. That said, the youngster is still prone to slumps. He hit below .250 in 3 of the 6 months and just 3 of his homers and 21 of his RBIs came in high leverage situations. A monster second half got him to his final numbers, and he really caught his stride once he was left in the second spot of the lineup behind Crawford's on base percentage. You should expect more of the same from Rodriguez in 2024 with fewer slumps in between bursts of awesomeness as he continues to mature as a hitter. Read Past Outlooks
Puts tally in home-run column
Rodriguez went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run during Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Rangers.
ANALYSIS
After launching 60 combined homers in his first two MLB seasons, Rodriguez was homerless through 22 games in 2024 before tagging Dane Dunning for a two-run shot Tuesday. Despite his lack of long balls, Rodriguez has been a strong fantasy producer, having racked up five multi-hit games and four stolen bases in his last seven appearances.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Working through timing issues
Mariners manager Scott Servais said Sunday that Rodriguez is managing some issues with swing timing early in the season, reports Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times.
ANALYSIS
The center fielder raked during spring training with a 1.179 OPS in 14 Cactus League games, but the start of the regular season has brought far different results. Rodriguez went 1-for-5 with four strikeouts Wednesday against the Blue Jays, bringing his slash line to .196/.255/.216 through 55 plate appearances. Rodriguez has never been a fast starter with a .628 OPS during March and April for his career, but his struggles early in 2024 would set a new low.

A strong spring from Rodriguez forced Seattle to break camp with him as their centerfielder. He did not disappoint, capturing the AL Rookie of the Year award. Rodriguez's season could have been even better as he improved over the second half, but wrist and back issues limited him to 41 games after the break. Rodriguez's exit velocity, hard-hit rate, barrel percentage and speed were all at least 90th percentile. His 25.9 percent strikeout rate and 7.1 percent walk rate could use some work, but that should come as the 22-year-old continues to develop. While it's fair to point out Rodriguez swiped 21 bags in his first 82 games but then stole only four bases in his final 52 contests, playing hurt could have slowed him down as he initially jammed his wrist sliding, so he may have just been cautious the rest of the season. Rodriguez merits top-five overall consideration, with a salient argument for him to be the first player off the board.
