Neil Walker (back) said he doesn't expect to need any restrictions going into the regular season.

Walker was shut down for the final month of 2012 with a herniated disc in his back, but the 27-year-old has been cleared for the start of spring training. "I've had no setbacks as far as the baseball stuff," Walker said. "As long as I'm doing what I need to do, there's no reason why this should ever be an issue again."
