Rodriguez (shoulder) could be cleared to resume playing catch Wednesday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
If Rodriguez is able to play catch, the Cardinals will start building a status report from there. The right-hander was shut down late in March due to right shoulder tightness, and St. Louis is being cautious with an important part of their bullpen. Assuming no setbacks, there's a good chance Rodriguez is pitching in the middle innings for the Cardinals by the end of April.
