Rodriguez was arrested and being held at the ballpark early Thursday, police explained. His father-in-law was in a hospital using a scrape on his face along with a bump on his head.
"There was an incident in the ballpark between Francisco Rodriguez and his family. He was questioned by police and all other questions pertaining to this matter might be addressed to police," Mets spokesman Jay Horwitz explained.
Various security guards, along some women and children, were observed around the Mets' family members lounge near the clubhouse after New York's 6-2 loss to Colorado. Rodriguez's father-in-law had swelling above his correct eyebrow.
Rodriguez has had previous confrontations using a team official, a coach and an opponent in his 1 1/2 seasons with all the Mets, though none of them reached this level.
The excitable, 28-year-old pitcher signed a three-year, $37 million contract with the Mets immediately after posting a record 62 saves with the Angels in 2008. He is 4-2 with 25 saves plus a two.24 ERA this season.
Rodriguez did not pitch from the Mets' latest loss, which dropped them below .500. Reliever Manny Acosta gave up a two-out grand slam to Melvin Mora inside eighth inning.
In Might, Rodriguez and bullpen coach Randy Niemann got into a heated exchange whilst the pitcher was preparing to enter a game. Mets manager Jerry Manuel later mentioned the matter was resolved, with out divulging what caused the dispute.
In July 2009, Rodriguez and former Mets official Tony Bernazard argued aboard the team bus. Bernazard was later fired by the Mets amid several allegations.
That June, Rodriguez and New York Yankees reliever Brian Bruney required to be separated prior to a game. They had jawed at every other in the media a day earlier.
