2023 Fantasy Outlook
Rodgers has seemingly been on the scene forever, yet he is now entering his age 25 season. The journey here has been marred with mulitple injuries, and 2022 was his first "full" season in the big leagues but even it saw him play fewer than 140 games. His hitting profile is one much like other Colorado players: rakes at home (.317/.388/.511) while struggling mightily on the road (.239/.292/.354.) He does not have any one fantasy skill to target as you look to build your roster as he does not do anything particularly well. His ability to reach base is very much built on the volatility of his batting average which limits his run scoring while his next stolen base will be the first one of his career. For all the hype coming up in his prep days and his days in the minors, we are left wanting much more from him. Youth is still on his side, but your impatience is warranted. Read Past Outlooks

Could need season-ending surgery
Rodgers was determined to have suffered significant damage to the capsule in his left shoulder following an MRI on Wednesday and could be facing season-ending surgery, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Rodgers was initially diagnosed with a dislocated left shoulder when he dove hard for a ball in a Cactus League game Tuesday against the Rangers, but follow-up tests have revealed a more serious injury than anticipated. Harding notes that doctors are still reviewing the full scope of the issue, so it may be several days before a determination on surgery is made one way or the other. The 26-year-old had been in line to serve as the Rockies' everyday second baseman in 2023, but his expected absence will force Colorado to alter its plans. Ryan McMahon could move over from third base to man the keystone, or Colorado could roll with Harold Castro or Alan Trejo at the position. Either way, Rodgers appears destined for an extended absence, and his expected absence for a large chunk of the season -- if not all of it -- is a major blow for the Rockies organization.

Stat Review
How does Brendan Rodgers compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Rodgers is one of the few Rockies hitters who might actually be worth starting on the road. After struggling for years with injuries, he's finally getting a chance to play every day. While he won't steal bases (his last stolen base attempt was back in 2018), he should provide some pop with a decent batting average. One issue is that he hits a few too many groundballs, but Rodgers did lower the rate from 58% in May to 50% in September. His production could really take off if he could drop that rate by another 10 percentage points. Besides lofting a few more batted balls, it would be nice to see him be more selective at the plate and improve on his walk rate. Also, he might be able to square up some more pitches if he weren't reaching for every pitch. If he just repeats his 2021 performance, he's a nice player and there are a few areas he could improve.
