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.
