FORT MYERS, Fla. -- An MRI performed on Red Sox lefty Eduardo Rodriguez revealed a patella subluxation in the right knee. There is no structural damage, but Rodriguez won't throw for at least three days.
"The cartilage is fine. The ligaments are fine. There's some swelling," said Red Sox manager John Farrell on Sunday. "He's going through some treatment and will continue to do so. When he's deemed ready to initiate a throwing program, we'll do so at that time."
The injury occurred on Saturday during a popup drill for pitchers. Rodriguez caught a spike in the grass and fell to the ground, where he stayed for a few minutes.
