Nationals manager Davey Johnson said Friday that he anticipates Henry Rodriguez (elbow) having a role in the bullpen in 2013.
That's assuming that he's healthy following elbow surgery and has a good spring training. Rodriguez had a brief stint as the Nats' closer this past season before control problems caused him to be removed from the role. Johnson sees the hard-throwing right-hander pitching anywhere between the sixth and eighth innings in 2013.
