Danny Valencia will not need surgery

Rookie third baseman Danny Valencia had an MRI on his right elbow, but Smith said it wasn't a surgical case. Right-hander Jon Rauch is also set to have his left knee looked at in the coming weeks.

"We've got a number of guys we're going to follow up on," Smith said. "The trainers are doing a great job of continuing to monitor the players. We've only been out about a week. So, we'll let them get home and get about a week's rest. There will be a few guys that I'm sure will pop up with a few questions and we continue to monitor that and basically get a weekly report through the offseason."
