Rodriguez will start Game 1 of the American League Division Series at Tampa Bay on Thursday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
The left-hander made his final start of the regular season Friday with five shutout innings, and he also picked up a win in relief by delivering a scoreless frame Sunday. Rodriguez had a poor start to the season but ended the campaign strong, posting a 3.26 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 64:19 K:BB in 58 innings across his last 12 outings. Chris Sale is expected to take the mound in Friday's Game 2 for Boston.
