Red Sox second baseman Brendan Rodgers is likely to undergo surgery after leaving a game against the Twins with a right shoulder injury. Despite several tests, manager Alex Cora believes surgery will be necessary. Rodgers, who has played seven seasons in the major leagues and won a Gold Glove in 2022, has been plagued by injuries throughout his career. He will likely start the season on the injured list. The Atlanta Braves outfielder Jurickson Profar is facing a season-long suspension for testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs.
