Stauffer (elbow) feels great after debut
Tim Stauffer - S - San Diego Padres
March 1, 2013 - 8:55 PM ET

Tim Stauffer (elbow) suffered no setback and said that he felt great after his inning of work on Thursday.

Stauffer, who is recovering from an August surgery to repair a flexor tendon in his right elbow, is progressing nicely and could be ready to join the Padres' rotation for the start of the regular season. The 30-year-old right-hander is a name to remember in the later stages of fantasy drafts, especially for his home starts in the friendly confines of Petco Park.
