FORT MYERS — Eduardo Rodriguez’ right knee will have to be monitored by the Red Sox all spring, but as of yesterday, the pitcher believed he’ll be good to go by Opening Day.
“I will be ready,” Rodriguez said. “I’ll just work with the trainers to get in more shape and get as close to 100 percent as I can.”
The left-hander said this injury is not as bad as the one he suffered last spring, when he twisted his right knee catching fly balls in batting practice and didn’t make his season debut until May 31.
