Dodgers pitcher Paco Rodriguez will try to delay surgery on bone spur

Seven Dodgers pitchers are currently on the disabled list. Soon, five could be on minor-league rehab assignments at the same time. How each pitcher is progressing:

RHP Pedro Baez (pectoral): Throwing off mound in Arizona; could begin minor league rehab soon

LHP Paco Rodriguez (elbow): Throwing off mound, expected to throw to hitters in Arizona soon

SAN DIEGO >> Paco Rodriguez has a bone spur in his left elbow that will eventually require surgery, the Dodgers pitcher said Friday. However, Rodriguez has been so encouraged by his improvement over the last two weeks, he believes he can postpone the procedure until the season is over.
