Emmanuel Rodriguez Update?

[amjgt]

I can barely find any info on Rodriguez’s latest status. It’s been over two months since his injury and about 2 months since the surgery.

I found a brief update on fantasy pros website, saying that he “started light hitting”

Anyone heard anything more substantive about his timeline?

"105 feet" is oddly specific.

Hey coach can I move back to 110?

Whoa whoa whoa there, buddy. The trainer said 105 and that what we're doing

Probably in 15ft increments. 90 + 15 = 105, then 120 is probably the final length for long toss.

It's the distance between sprinkler heads in the outfield.
