Seeking second opinion on hip injury
Pirates director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk said Monday that Rodriguez is gathering a second opinion on his left hip injury, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Analyse
Pittsburgh listed Rodriguez's injury as left hip inflammation when he was placed on the shelf Thursday, but the organization may be concerned that the 26-year-old catcher might be dealing with something more significant. While Tomczyk relayed that the Pirates are expected to have more information on Rodriguez's condition later this week, it's reasonable to expect Rodriguez to spend more than the minimum 10 days on the injured list. Henry Davis and Rafael Flores will continue to share playing time behind the dish while Rodriguez is on the mend.

Placed on IL with hip injury
The Pirates placed Rodriguez on the 10-day injured list Thursday with left hip inflammation.
Analyse
Rodriguez hasn't played in almost a week, and he was unable to show enough progress over that time to avoid a stint on the IL. He will be eligible to return late next week, but it's unclear whether Rodriguez might be ready for activation at that time. Henry Davis and Rafael Flores will handle the catching duties for the Pirates while Rodriguez is shelved.

Remains out Thursday
Rodriguez (hip) remains out of the lineup for Thursday's game in Miami.
Analyse
Rodriguez hasn't played in nearly a week as he continues to battle left hip discomfort. The Pirates have been viewing the injury as a day-to-day situation, but the longer Rodriguez's absence drags on, the likelier a stint on the injured list becomes. Rafael Flores will start at catcher Thursday.

Missing out on fifth straight start
Rodriguez (hip) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.
Analyse
Rodriguez will be relegated to the bench for a fifth consecutive game while he contends with left hip discomfort. Henry Davis will get another start at catcher in place of Rodriguez, whom the Pirates are viewing as day-to-day.
