Red Sox manager John Farrell said Tuesday that Rodriguez (knee) would begin throwing off flat ground "in the coming days," Jason Mastrodonato of the Boston Herald reports.
Though Rodriguez will continue to keep his arm in shape while he recovers from knee discomfort, he remains without an official timetable for a return, and likely won't have one until he's cleared to pitch off a mound again. Previous reports have suggested that Rodriguez won't ramp up his workouts for another 3-to-4 weeks, so it may not be realistic to expect him back before the All-Star break.
