BOSTON -- For now, at least, the Boston Red Sox aren't acting like they're overly concerned about Eduardo Rodriguez's right knee after he slipped on a wet mound during a winter ball start in Venezuela on Tuesday.
Red Sox president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski characterized the injury as merely a "tweak," and the team hasn't asked Rodriguez to return to Boston to be examined by their medical staff.
Dombrowski said Thursday there's "a good chance" Tuesday night was Rodriguez's last start in winter ball, but added that his team, Navegantes Del Magallanes, is unlikely to make the Venezuelan Winter League playoffs.
