"Manager Ron Washington believes Monday could mark the spring debut for third baseman Adrian Beltre. Beltre ran the bases again Saturday, and Washington said he made it from home plate to first base in 4.1 seconds.

Beltre, who has been slowed by a right calf strain, also believes he's ready to go.

"I'm running the bases good, at 85 to 90 percent with no problem," Beltre said. "My hope is to play in the next couple of days, Monday or Tuesday. I want to get in there right now. I feel good enough to be playing."

Beltre said he wanted to play in Sunday's game against San Francisco. He has no doubts that he'll be sharp enough for the season opener April 1."
