Texas shortstop Adrian Rodriguez is set to return 'in some form' for the upcoming series against Alabama after missing two weeks due to complications from hand surgery.

The switch-hitter was in obvious pain on swings and misses from the left side this season, and Schlossnagle is glad doctors figured out what was going on because, in his words, Rodriguez is âthe spirit of our team.â
âI would say itâs a better chance that he will play than he wonât play, itâs just, what version of him do we get?â Schlossnagle said Thursday. âI would think we get a better version of what he was before he had the staples taken out.â

Rodriguez will need some time to get back into the swing of things. Schlossnagle said heâs âdone everything up to this point except hit off live pitching,â and he isnât sure how long it will take for him to be âthe real A-Rod.â
âIdeally, before the season ends, before May, itâd be awesome to have him,â Schlossnagle said. âBut we may not get that this year. That may have to be next year. I just know heâs capable of helping our team. Heâs the energy of our team.â
Rodriguez was hitting .271 with no home runs and 18 RBIs before the procedure took him out of the lineup. Texas was 5-3 without him, losing two games to rivals Texas A&M in College Station.
