Rodriguez (knee) will make one more appearance in an extended spring training game Saturday before beginning a rehab assignment, Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe reports.
There was a chance Rodriguez would begin a rehab assignment Saturday, but the Red Sox want him to throw once more at their spring training complex before sending him out to an affiliate. He is scheduled to throw around 75 pitches Saturday, and as long as all goes well, he should begin his rehab stint at some point in the middle of next week.
