The Tigers announced they are reinstating starting pitcher Eduardo Rodríguez from the restricted list on Friday to start vs. the Angels after a three-month absence due to personal issues.
Rodríguez implied that his issues were family-related, but he declined to go into much detail about the absence. He also said he is happy to be back competing with his teammates.
“My family is the one that really has my blood, which is my kids,” Rodríguez said, via Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press. “My second family is my teammates and everybody here in the organization. Those are the only ones that really have to know what really happened in my life.”
