BoSox lefty Rodriguez off on paternity leave

-

Red Sox left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez will miss his scheduled start Tuesday against Toronto after Boston placed him on paternity leave. Rodriguez’s wife Catherine gave birth to a boy on Sunday. Manager John Farrell said left-hander Brian Johnson is likely to start in place of Rodriguez. Johnson has no decisions in two starts at triple-A Pawtucket, where he has a 1.69 ERA and 15 strikeouts in 10 2-3 innings. Rodriguez is 0-1 in two starts with a 5.23 ERA. The club recalled right-hander Ben Taylor from Pawtucket before Monday’s game against Tampa Bay.
