Helton makes it through first spring workout
Todd Helton - 1B - Colorado Rockies
Feb. 16, 2013 - 8:40 PM ET

Todd Helton worked out and took batting practice for the first time this spring on Saturday, and didn't experience any issues or setbacks.

The 39-year-old is trying to make his way back from hip and knee surgeries from a season ago. As long as he's healthy, he's expected to get regular playing time at first base for the Rockies, but it's very unlikely that he gets enough at-bats to be relevant in fantasy leagues.
