According to Evan Drellich of CSNNE, Red Sox starter Eduardo Rodriguez suffered a right knee subluxation during Thursday’s loss to the Baltimore Orioles. The specific injury has been described as a “partial dislocation” of the knee he is anatomically prone to injury.
Reliever Brandon Workman will take the open roster spot for the time being. However, it’s more than likely that Brian Johnson will come up from Triple-A Pawtucket to fill the open rotation spot when Rodriguez’s turn comes up again. With an off-day on Monday, that may not be until next weekend.
