Even though Eduardo Rodriguez left Saturday’s game after spraining his ankle and is now on the disabled list, don’t let that distract you from the fact that the Red Sox are going into the All-Star break a whopping 38 games above .500. Seriously, 68-30 in mid-July? I thought the Sox would be competitive this year, but I definitely was not prepared for this overwhelmingly pleasant surprise.
Still, seeing E-Rod twist that ankle, and then hearing the news on Sunday that he may have suffered serious damage to his ankle ligaments … well, that puts a damper over this entire All-Star break.
