Rodriguez's next start has been pushed up to Thursday against the Yankees, the Providence Journal's Brian MacPherson reports.
He was originally slated to take the ball Friday against the Diamondbacks but was moved up after Steven Wright was scratched from Thursday's start due to a jammed shoulder. Rodriguez has lowered his ERA from 8.59 to 5.93 over his last five outings, but he has really struggled to go deep into games, failing to log more than 5.1 innings in three of his last four starts.
