BALTIMORE -- When a pitcher walks off the mound in the middle of an at-bat in a start in which he has not yet allowed a hit, a trip to the disabled list usually follows shortly thereafter.
But that might not be the case for Boston Red Sox left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez.
Rodriguez was lifted from Tuesday night's game after throwing two pitches in the fifth inning against the Baltimore Orioles because of tightness in his left hamstring. By the time the game ended, though, Rodriguez had loosened up enough that there's a chance he will be able to make his next start, scheduled for Sunday in Detroit.
