CHICAGO — Eduardo Rodriguez is all but ready to come back into the Tigers’ rotation.
On the restricted list since June 14, leaving the team to deal with marital issues, he covered five shutout innings in 53 pitches in his rehab start with Toledo on Thursday night.
“He got the extra up (inning) which was great,” manager AJ Hinch said before Friday's game. “He felt great. (Pitching coach Chris) Fetter talked to him this morning and all reports are good.”
