Rea (elbow) was cleared to play catch by Dr. James Andrews, Jeff Sanders of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander underwent Tommy John surgery back in November, but it seems like his rehab process is proceeding without a hitch thus far. He's slated to miss all of the 2017 season, but Rea could be back for spring training next season if all goes according to plan.
