Fantasy Impact:
Rodriguez tested positive for COVID-19 and has been out all season after developing a heart condition called myocarditis. “You lose a lot when you’ve been down as long as he has I know the physical part of it, especially with a starting pitcher trying to last through the year, is pretty important what they do in the offseason to build up that kind of endurance to be able to last the season," said Red Sox Chief Baseball Officer Chaim Bloom. Rodriguez health is number one priority and the Red Sox hope he can have a normal off-season. “For a guy like Eduardo Rodriguez, 200 innings last year and zero this year, we’re still figuring out exactly what we can expect from him next year and what’s a reasonable amount so he can pitch and be part of the rotation,” Bush said. “But also to make sure that we don’t overdo it and don’t put him in danger at that point. We’re working on it. It’s complicated for a lot of reasons but we’re figuring out so that when we send guys home, we have a pretty good plan of what we want to do.”
