Tigers' Francisco Rodriguez: Away for personal reasons Wednesday

Rodriguez was away from the team Wednesday for personal reasons but is expected back Friday, ESPN's Katie Strang reports.

Analysis:

It is unclear why exactly he is away from the team, but it seems like it will be a one-game absence, given Thursday's off day. Justin Wilson notched a save Wednesday with a perfect ninth inning against the Red Sox, and he would be a good bet to get another chance Friday if for some reason Rodriguez has not rejoined the team.
