Rodriguez (hamstring) did not experience any issues during a bullpen session Thursday and is ready to start Sunday if needed, Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald reports.
Rodriguez was scratched from his scheduled start Sunday due to his sore hamstring, but he has not encountered any setbacks this week, and Thursday's session was the final hurdle he needed to clear before being ready to rejoin Boston's rotation. The team has not confirmed its rotation for the weekend, but Rodriguez is likely to get the ball Sunday, which would push Clay Buchholz back into a bullpen role.
