Nationals manager Davey Johnson said Wednesday that Henry Rodriguez is dealing with a tender elbow.
Not a good sign after Rodriguez had season-ending surgery last August to remove a bone spur from his right elbow. It was assumed that he would have a chance to win a spot in the bullpen this spring, but that could obviously change if the elbow continues to be an issue. The 25-year-old right-hander posted a 5.83 ERA and 31/22 K/BB ratio over 29 2/3 innings last season and was 9-for-12 in save chances.
