How Long Is Endy Rodriguez Out? Hip Injury Updates, Return Timeline for Pirates Catcher
Here are the latest updates on Endy Rodriguez’s status and how long he could be out for following his latest injury.
Endy Rodriguez, the Pirates' catcher, is set to miss the start of the 2027 season due to a hip injury. He underwent surgery on August 27 to repair the labrum in his left hip. Unlike previous injuries this year, Rodriguez will not return for the remainder of the 2026 season. It is expected that he will return to action around May-June 2027.
Prior to his injury, Rodriguez had been having a productive season, batting .267/.373/.467 in 45 games, with an OPS of .840. This was an improvement from his struggling .173/.246/.250, .496 OPS in 18 games last season. Rodriguez had previously undergone Tommy John surgery in December 2023 and a procedure to fix his ulnar nerve in June 2025, both of which affected his performance during the 2025 season.
