Rodriguez is expected to make several starts in Triple-A, Jason Mastrodonato of the Boston Herald reports.
After Monday night's 2.2 inning, 9-run implosion and subsequent demotion to Triple-A, manager John Farrell stated that he intends for Rodriguez to make several starts in the minors and that "adjustments are necessary". Rodriguez had struggled mightily before Monday's debacle as well, making only one quality start in five tries and giving up 19 earned runs (6.41 ERA) in the process. He'll head to Triple-A Pawtucket now to try to regain his form.
