Rodriguez (ankle) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Tigers.
Rodriguez departed Wednesday's 3-2 loss with a right ankle issue, which is the same injury he just returned from this past weekend. The Mariners don't seem to believe it's a serious setback for Rodriguez, with manager Scott Servais noting that the 23-year-old campaigned to play Thursday before the team opted to give him more rest and treatment, per Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com. Rodriguez had served as the Mariners' designated hitter in each of his three starts since coming off the IL, but Justin Tuner will handle DH duties Thursday.
