Rodriguez (knee) threw a live bullpen session Saturday but he is still not ready for game action, Tim Britton of the Providence Journal reports.
Rodriguez is already set to start the season on the disabled list, but Saturday's bullpen session is a step in the right direction. According to Britton, Rodriguez needs to log at least two more bullpens before the Red Sox mull over their next move, which would likely be a rehab assignment. Depending on how many innings the Red Sox want Rodriguez to throw before coming off the disabled list, Rodriguez could be in for a rehab assignment that lasts several outings.
