The X-rays on Rodriguez's right hand were negative after he was hit by a pitch in Seattle's win over Houston.
Rodriguez had his hand assessed in Houston on Sunday.
He appears to be okay. I don't know if he's in the lineup today, but it appears to be a good sign for the future.
Rodriguez struck out swinging at a pitch that hit him on the back of the hand. He played in the field in the bottom of the first before being taken out in the 9th.
Abraham Toro pinch-hit for Rodriguez in the ninth and delivered a go-ahead two-run single with two outs off Astros closer Ryan Pressly.
Rodriguez was 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Saturday night's game and is batting.270 with 18 homers and 57 runs this season.
The second wild-card spot in the American League is currently occupied by the SeattleMariners.
