Red Sox place Eduardo Rodriguez (knee) on 10-day DL

The Boston Red Sox placed starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez on the 10-day disabled list with a right knee subluxation.

What It Means:

Rodriguez slipped and fell before Thursday's start, tweaking his right knee. He pitched poorly, likely due to the knee injury, allowing four home runs and seven runs overall. Rodriguez has had some injury history with this right knee, which explains why the Red Sox are sending the pitcher to Dr. James Andrews for a second opinion on Monday. Brian Johnson will likely join the rotation if Rodriguez is out beyond June 10, when the Red Sox need a fifth starter.

Rodriguez is 4-2 with a 3.54 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, and 65 strikeouts in 61 innings pitched this season.
