Detroit — On Wednesday, the day before he was to make his third start since coming off the restricted list, Eduardo Rodriguez talked about the last piece of the puzzle that needed to come back to form — his velocity.
“That’s the only part I’m still building up,” he said. “The rest, everything else is fine. The location, the command, it’s right where I want it. If I’m talking about building something up, it’s more about the velocity. That’s the only thing I feel is not 100 percent yet.”
Funny thing about baseball. Sometimes it randomly knocks set pieces off the puzzle.
