Worth noting

By Joe Frisaro and Andrew Simon

• Rafael Furcal (left hamstring) tested his leg by running the bases on Saturday. Before getting into game action, Furcal is going through a running progression program. Whether he will be ready for Opening Day remains in question.

• Greg Dobbs (left quadriceps) had some at-bats in a Minor League game on Saturday.

• Ed Lucas (left hamstring) is getting a day to rest on Saturday. He is expected to start at first base on Sunday at Lakeland against the Tigers.

• Jarrod Saltalamacchia on Sunday night will be honored as the 2013 Professional Athlete of the Year for Palm Beach County by the Palm Beach County Sports Hall of Fame. The catcher is expected to be in attendance.
