Dodgers' Paco Rodriguez avoids surgery, but speed cause for concern

The Dodgers have altered their major league roster at least once each of the last four days:

Sunday: Placed Paco Rodriguez on 15-day DL; recalled Matt West from Triple-A Oklahoma City

Monday: Moved Carl Crawford to the 60-day DL; selected David Huff’s contract; optioned West to Oklahoma City

Tuesday: Recalled Ian Thomas, Josh Ravin, Daniel Coulombe and Chris Heisey from Triple-A; placed Scott Van Slyke on DL; designated Huff for assignment; optioned Austin Barnes to Triple-A.

DENVER >> Dodgers pitcher Paco Rodriguez doesn’t need surgery. That was the good news to emerge from an MRI on Rodriguez’s left elbow on Monday.
