Rodney (leg) estimates that his left hamstring is at 85 percent strength, Dennis Lin of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Rodney hurt his leg during the Caribbean Series, shortly after agreeing to a one-year deal with the Padres. He'll likely be a bit behind San Diego's healthy pitchers during spring training, but this doesn't sound like an issue that will threaten his Opening Day availability. Rodney and Kevin Quackenbush are expected to compete for the closer's role.
