Rodgers, a non-roster invitee to major league camp, was at Red Sox spring training on Tuesday in a brace. The oft-injured infielder struggled mightily in limited big league action last season, hitting .191 witgh two homers and a .544 OPS across 128 trips to the plate with the Astros.

It doesn't sound like the youngster is in trouble of missing much time, but the Red Sox wanted to keep him out of the lineup on Sunday to be sure. The 23-year-old hit .228 with four homers and a .674 OPS in 44 games for the Red Sox last season, but wrist issues derailed his season.

Gonzalez will miss at least the first two months of the season so the Red Sox will be without a key piece of their infield plans for a bit. After a slow start to his major league career with the White Sox, Gonzalez has performed quite well in a Boston uniform. Last season, he hit .305 with nine home runs in 341 plate appearances and has combined to hit .290 with 15 home runs and 17 stolen bases in 185 games with the Red Sox. It appears that Boston will now get a good look at Marcelo Mayer at second base to open the season with Trevor Story and Caleb Durbin occupying the left side of the infield. Isiah Kiner-Falefa is also in the mix.

Most fantasy platforms will list Durbin as eligible only at third base to begin the year. Additional playing time at second base could grant in-season eligibility at that position. Marcelo Mayer and Isiah Kiner-Falefa are competing for the second base starting role.
