Beltran (elbow) has gone through a full offseason program including hitting and throwing, and is expected to be ready by the start of spring training, MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

Beltran underwent elbow surgery at the end of September, but since then he's regained strength and flexibility in his right elbow. The 37-year-old dealt with the issue throughout most of the 2014 season, so he's hopeful that a return to full health could lead to a bounce-back season in 2015 after slashing just .233/.301/.402 in his first season with the Yankees.
