Rodriguez's start for Triple-A Pawtucket on Friday was shortened due to rain. He allowed two runs on three hits and a walk while striking out three in three innings.
This was Rodriguez's second start for the PawSox since Boston optioned him on June 27. As the Red Sox wrestle to find some stability out of the final two spots in the rotation and consider options outside the organization, getting Rodriguez back to his 2015 form is clearly a priority. The club will give him a few more starts in Triple-A before they consider bringing him back up.
