Rafael Furcal (elbow) has been cleared to hit, field and throw without limitation heading into spring training.

A torn UCL ended Furcal's season in late August last year, but the Cardinals don't expect the injury to limit his participation this spring. The 35-year old began 2012 on a tear before injuries derailed his season late. Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said the team will keep an eye on Furcal in the early going to make sure he isn't pushed too quickly.
