BALTIMORE -- When a pitcher walks off the mound in the middle of an at-bat in a start in which he has not yet allowed a hit, a trip to the disabled list usually follows shortly thereafter.But that might not be the case for Boston Red Sox left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez.Rodriguez was lifted from Tuesday nights game after throwing two pitches in the fifth inning against the Baltimore Orioles because of tightness in his left hamstring. By the time the game ended, though, Rodriguez had loosened up enough that theres a chance he will be able to make his next start, scheduled for Sunday in Detroit.Ive got to wait for what the trainers say, Rodriguez said after the Red Sox won 5-3 on two homers and five RBIs by American League MVP candidate Mookie Betts. Ive got to work [between starts] and see how I feel, if I feel good.As Red Sox manager John Farrell said, I think we got it early enough to where it doesnt seem to be a significant restriction at this point. But well know more as we get through the coming days.Rodriguez said he began feeling the hamstring tightness on his second-to-last pitch of the fourth inning, when he struck out Orioles sluggers Jonathan Schoop, Manny Machado and Mark Trumbo in order. The sensation didnt subside in the fifth inning.I was feeling like it was getting worse, so I didnt want to do something to something inside of there, Rodriguez said. I feel like we made the right decision before it got worse.Until then, Rodriguez was dominant, retiring 12 of 13 batters, seven by strikeout. Chris Davis was the only batter who reached base -- on a two-out walk in the second inning. The Orioles didnt get their first hit until an infield single by Steve Pearce in the seventh inning.Tuesdays effort was the continuation of a solid stretch for Rodriguez, who has a 2.52 ERA in seven starts since returning from a brief banishment to Triple-A to correct issues with his mechanics.Hes relaxed, hes free, Farrell said. He had such good life to that swing-and-miss fastball through the zone. He elevated at the appropriate times. Threw enough secondary pitches to keep guys off stride. Jung-ho Kang Jersey .

CLEVELAND -- Josh Gordon isnt going back on the field until he gets a tighter grip on his life.The suspended Cleveland Browns wide receiver, whose talent has been little more than a tease for several years as he battled personal demons, said Thursday hes entering rehab and putting his promising NFL career on hold.Gordon was eligible to return from his latest four-game suspension next week and possibly play against New England on Oct. 9, when Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will return from his Deflategate ban.However, the troubled Gordons future is again uncertain after he chose to seek professional help.Gordon released a statement through the Browns, who have stood by him but may need to move on.After careful thought and deep consideration Ive decided that I need to step away from pursuing my return to the Browns and my football career to enter an in-patient rehabilitation facility, he said.This is the right decision for me and one that I hope will enable me to gain full control of my life and continue on a path to reach my full potential as a person.I appreciate the support of the NFL, NFLPA, the Browns, my teammates, my agent and the community through this extremely challenging process.Gordon has been suspended by the NFL in the past for marijuana and alcohol abuse. The 25-year-old did not indicate why hes seeking treatment.The Browns had been encouraged by the progress Gordon seemed to be making during his suspension, which followed him being banned for one year by Commissioner Roger Goodell. Gordon met with Goodell a few months ago and was being given another chance to get his personal life in order.League spokesman Brian McCarthy would not comment on Gordons status with the Browns.Our concern is with Joshs well-being, he said.Shortly after his statement was released, Gordon posted a tweet, saying he had been under a lot of pressure and stress lately and he needed time for himself.Sometimes you have to do whats best for you, he wrote.Later, he posted another message: See ya soon.However, theres no telling when hell be back or if hell play another game. The Browns have done all they can for him, but with a young teamm, new coaching staff and front office looking toward the future, Gordon may soon be in their past for good.ddddddddddddA Pro Bowl selection in 2013 when he led the league with 1,646 yards receiving, Gordon played in two preseason games after being slowed in training camp with a leg injury.During his suspension, Gordon was only allowed to attend meetings with the Browns. When they practiced, he couldnt join his teammates on the field and he was not permitted to speak with the media.Gordon was usually wearing headphones when he entered the locker room and rarely acknowledged reporters.Sashi Brown, the teams vice president of football operations, said the team has Gordons back.We support Josh in taking this step to seek additional help and treatment, he said. His singular focus must be on his own health. We want nothing more than for Josh to be successful personally and professionally.Gordon has been suspended for 30 of Clevelands past 35 games.Last week, Gordon had to appear in court after a warrant was issued for his arrest in connection with a paternity suit filed by a woman who alleges he is the father of a 1-year-old girl. The warrant was withdrawn after Gordon agreed to take a DNA test.Browns coach Hue Jackson did not comment on Gordons personal issues, but said he was handling his professional matters.He still is doing well, in my opinion, Jackson said. I cant tell you about everything that goes on outside of this building -- but I know in this building, in our meetings with me, with our coaches, with the players, he has been outstanding. Thats what I have to judge on. Now well find out about this other part and know a little bit more about it as we move forward. I have nothing but great things to say about Josh.The Browns had been hoping Gordon could stay clean and get back in uniform. They were looking forward to pairing him up with wide receiver Terrelle Pryor, a combination that may remain nothing more than fantasy.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
