Scuffling E-Rod to remain in Red Sox rotation

BOSTON -- Following a third straight shaky start by Eduardo Rodriguez in the Red Sox's 5-1 loss to the Orioles on Thursday night, manager John Farrell said there are no current plans to remove the left-hander from the rotation.

However, not long after that, Rodriguez had a closed-door meeting in Farrell's office that also included pitching coach Carl Willis.

The Red Sox and Rodriguez know that they need to fix whatever has caused the pitcher to struggle so much since coming back from the disabled list.

At times, Rodriguez has lacked confidence in his secondary pitches.
