Wife:
Catherine Rodriguez
Eduardo Rodriguez’s wife Catherine Rodriguez is the mother of two children, Annie and Ian. Annie arrived first, and Ian arrived on April 17 of 2017. Eduardo left the team for a few days to be by Catherine’s side when she gave birth. He also introduced him to the world on social media the same day he arrived.
Catherine receives a lot of props on his social media feed. He doesn’t miss any standard times for praise such as Valentine’s Day or her birthday.
Fantasy:
Nick Pivetta was initially penciled in as Monday’s starter, but he tossed four relief innings Sunday as the Red Sox won Game 3 in extra innings. As a result, Rodriguez will likely take the mound on short rest as the Red Sox attempt to advance to the ALCS. The southpaw started the first game of the ALDS on Thursday and allowed two runs on two hits and two walks while striking out one in 1.2 innings.
Injury:
The lefty wasn’t injured but was dealing with a headache significant enough to make it hard for him to concentrate while pitching.
Considering Rodriguez had missed the entire 2020 season due to myocarditis (heart inflammation) and had dealt with arm fatigue at the end of spring training, Cora was initially worried.
2021:
Rodriguez and the Red Sox are going to find themselves in a very interesting situation this offseason, as the 28-year-old is set to become a free agent.
It’s hard to summarize Rodriguez’s MLB career in just a few words, so we’re going to take a legit look at it.
He entered the big leagues in 2015 at the age of 22.
