Left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez is scheduled to pitch against his former team on Sunday when the visiting Detroit Tigers wrap up a three-game series against the Boston Red Sox.
Rodriguez, 30, made his major league debut with the Red Sox in 2015. He had a 64-39 record in 159 appearances over six seasons with Boston.
Rodriguez didn't pitch in June because of an injury to his left index finger, but he tossed seven scoreless innings on Tuesday to help Detroit beat Minnesota 6-0. Earlier this month, he invoked the no-trade clause in his contract to keep him from being dealt to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Kutter Crawford will pitch for Boston on Sunday. Crawford took the loss when Kansas City beat the Red Sox 9-3 on Tuesday. He gave up three runs on seven hits in 3 1/3 innings.
"Any time I'm going well, I'm using the opposite field," the lefty-hitting Carpenter said. "In this ballpark , it's easier to hit them out to left here. Anything they throw hard I want to hit that way."
