Henry Rodriguez (elbow) hopes to begin throwing in November. Rodriguez underwent season-ending surgery in late August to have a bone chip and a bone spur removed from his right elbow. He's hoping to be ready for spring training next year. The 25-year-old right-hander posted a 5.83 ERA and 31/22 K/BB ratio over 29 2/3 innings this season and was 9-for-12 in save chances.
