Rodriguez (hand) was activated from the disabled list by Double-A Akron on Wednesday, Indians Prospective reports.
The outfielder has made nine stops over his first six professional seasons and flashed potential a few times along the way. Rodriguez, 24, owns a career minor-league slash line of .276/.346/.417 over 553 games. Now healthy, he'll rejoin Double-A Akron after a rough first season (.222) there last year.

Indians' Luigi Rodriguez: On MiLB DL with broken hand
Rodriguez recently underwent surgery to repair a broken hand and will open the season on the minor-league disabled list.
Rodriguez is likely ticketed for Double-A Akron to begin the season; he slashed .222/.266/.335 in 170 plate appearances with that club in 2016. The 24-year-old isn't considered an impact prospect in the Indians system, and the broken hand will only hurt his chances of quickly climbing the minor-league ladder.
