Red Sox pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez received some good news following his battle with myocarditis, a heart issue linked to the coronavirus.
Rodriguez was cleared on Friday to begin physical activity and start walking on a treadmill soon. The 27-year-old contracted COVID-19 on July 7 and has not pitched this season.
"Really good news," manager Ron Roenicke told reporters on Friday, per NESN. "All the reports that came back, [the doctors] looked at it. He's been cleared to start just walking in a couple weeks. That will elevate to treadmill. They’re hoping his offseason will be normal and he’ll be able to build himself up for [2021].
