| August 13, 2007 Francisco Rodriguez sustained a minor ankle sprain on Saturday. The injury happened on his first pitch of the ninth inning, when he landed in a hole on the mound, according to the LA Times. The hole was patched, and K-Rod remained in the game to complete the inning. It doesn't appear to be anything that will keep him from being available this week. |
| April 6, 2007 Francisco Rodriguez has been cleared of any wrongdoing by MLB regarding accusations this week that he was doctoring the ball, according to the AP. "That's the word we got, so it's a non-issue," manager Mike Scioscia said. "It's just a function of touching the rosin bag and adjusting your cap. I'm sure it shows up on a lot of pitchers' caps. It's really much ado about nothing." |
| April 6, 2007 Francisco Rodriguez denies that he's altering baseballs in any way, saying the white substance seen on his cap is merely rosin, the Los Angeles Times reports. There have been internet reports this week that allege Rodriguez is doing something underhanded on the mound. "It's from the rosin bag," Rodriguez said, showing reporters his cap before Thursday's game. "If that's illegal, why is there a rosin bag on the mound? You can come check me any time you want. I have nothing to hide." MLB spokesman Pat Courtney said his office was notified by e-mail about the photos and is reviewing tapes of Rodriguez. |

| February 18, 2007 Francisco Rodriguez expects to resume defensive drills on Monday and throw off a mound soon after that, according to the LA Times. He's been limited to long toss recently due to a sore right hamstring. "I've got to be careful," said Rodriguez. "I don't want to hurt it worse and need two or three weeks to fix it. I'll take a couple of days now and do the work to make it stronger." |
| February 17, 2007 A tight hamstring kept Francisco Rodriguez from taking part in fielding drills on Friday, according to the LA Times. At this point, it looks like it's just a precautionary move and nothing to worry about. |
| January 16, 2007 The Angels avoided arbitration with Francisco Rodriguez by signing him to a one-year, $7 million deal on Tuesday, according to the AP. He posted a major league leading 47 saves in 2006. |
