Brendan Rodgers left a spring training game on February 28, 2026 with right shoulder soreness and underwent MRI and CT scans. Red Sox manager Alex Cora said the situation “doesn’t look great,” suggesting the possibility of significant shoulder surgery. It would be Rodgers’ third career shoulder procedure.
Rodgers was acquired by Boston to bolster the middle infield. Until there’s a clear timeline from the club, his availability for Opening Day and beyond is in question.
