KANSAS CITY -- Due to recurring soreness in his right knee, left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez won't make his next scheduled rehab start for Triple-A Pawtucket on Friday.
However, the news wasn't all bad on the rehab front.
Joe Kelly struck out 10 over 6 1/3 innings for Pawtucket on Monday, and manager John Farrell said all signs point to the righty pitching for the Red Sox on Saturday at Fenway Park against the Indians.
Rodriguez suffered a patella subluxation in his right knee during a Spring Training drill Feb. 27 and has been slow to recover.
During Rodriguez's Minor League outings, his velocity has generally been in the low 90s.
