After undergoing knee surgery, Boston Red Sox pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez will not pitch for six months, according to WEEI's Rob Bradford.
Rodriguez underwent a successful patellofemoral ligament reconstruction surgery on his right knee and won't be ready to start the 2018 season. How long the 24-year-old will have to wait to pitch next season is yet to be determined.
Over 24 starts and 25 total appearances, Rodriguez went 6-7 with a 4.19 ERA, 3.97 FIP and 9.83 strikeouts per 9 innings in 2017.
