Eduardo Rodriguez told to rest 3-4 weeks via second opinion

It's a waiting game for Eduardo Rodriguez and the Boston Red Sox.

Rodriguez got a second opinion on his injured right knee from Dr. James Andrews on Monday in Pensacola, Florida, as expected.

Despite a report by CSNNE.com that Andrews recommended that Rodriguez rest for three to four weeks, a shutdown period that likely would sideline the lefty thorough the All-Star break, the Red Sox said they were still awaiting Andrews' report.

"We would not anticipate having anything until [Tuesday]," Red Sox president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski said.

Rodriguez fell while warming up in the bullpen before his start Thursday night.
