Another major injury has put Endy Rodriguez’s future with the Pirates in question.
Alex Stumpf looks at Endy’s latest surgery, his expected recovery timeline, the possibility of a difficult roster decision this winter, and where he fits in a catching room that now includes Rafael Flores Jr. and Henry Davis.
Rodriguez showed real signs of turning the corner offensively in 2026, which makes another lengthy absence even tougher to swallow.
