The Mariners’ offense is already reeling, and they’ll now be without two prominent hitters for significant stretches in the season’s second half.

Mariners general manager Justin Hollander said Wednesday that Rodriguez (ankle) will be re-evaluated around Aug. 1, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

The concern here for fantasy managers is that Rodriguez has been diagnosed with a high ankle sprain, which typically takes much longer to heal than a typical sprained ankle. It also contradicts what Mariners manager Scott Servais said late Monday when he told reporters Rodriguez was day-to-day with a mild ankle sprain. No word yet on how long he'll be sidelined, but it seems like it could be at least a couple weeks. Stay tuned.

The Mariners placed Rodriguez on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a right ankle sprain, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
