TORONTO -- Red Sox rookie Eduardo Rodriguez will start Monday night against Tampa Bay in the opener of the final homestand of the season, and probably just once after that for the remainder of the season.
Between Triple-A and the Majors, Rodriguez has pitched 158 innings, which already represents a career high.
"I'm going to say between 10 and 14 innings would be an area where we'd [like to stop at]," said interim manager Torey Lovullo. "After that, we'd feel a little uncomfortable. It's probably going to be a couple more outings, and the one thing that we've talked about is when he comes off, when he leaves that night after his start, he knows when his next start is so he can develop that routine to get ready for his next start.
