Former Tampa Bay Rays infielder Sean Rodriguez and his family are recovering after police say their SUV was hit by a man who had stolen a Miami police officer's cruiser.
News outlets report that 31-year-old Miami native, his wife Giselle and their two young children were T-boned by the stolen cruiser Saturday afternoon in Miami-Dade County.
The unidentified suspect was killed in the crash.
Rodriguez was not hurt, but the other members of his family were hospitalized. Rodriguez's wife was listed in fair condition Sunday and the 2-year-old and 8-year-old children were in serious but stable condition.
A 9-year veteran, Rodriguez played the last two seasons with the Pittsburgh Pirates after playing for the Tampa Bay Rays from 2010 to 2014. He signed with the Atlanta Braves in November. The Braves confirmed Rodriguez's involvement in the crash in a statement on Twitter.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the health and well-being of Sean Rodriguez and his family as they recover from a car accident in Miami.
