Rodriguez (knee) threw a bullpen session Friday and will go through pitcher-fielding practice Saturday, the Boston Globe reports.
If all goes well Saturday, manager John Farrell said Rodriguez will make his next start for Triple-A Pawtucket. The left-hander had his rehab clock halted with 11 days remaining, and because he was not inactive for seven days, the Red Sox can't re-start the clock back to 30 days. That means the lefty is in line to return to Boston sometime around the end of May.
