Rafael Betancourt (elbow) is expected to be cleared to begin throwing soon after an exam next week with Dr. James Andrews. Betancourt underwent Tommy John surgery in late August but it still hoping to contribute at some point during the upcoming season. The free agent received interest from the Dodgers this winter but is committed to making a comeback attempt with the Rockies. "If I pitch again, it will be with the Rockies. I can't see myself anywhere else at this point in my career. I have really enjoyed five years there," Betancourt said.
