Wandy Rodriguez (elbow) said during the team's recent mini-camp that he would be ready for the first day of spring training. The veteran southpaw was shut down in September due to arthritis in his elbow, but he has been working out at his home in the Dominican Republic all winter and insists that he'll be ready to go. Even if he is a few days behind, he should have no problem being ready to go for the start of the regular season.
