Eric Surkamp (elbow) has been cleared to resume playing catch after a visit to the doctor Sunday.

It's good news, but it will likely still be at least 10-14 days before he can throw from a mound. The young left-hander will be part of Triple-A Fresno's rotation once he gets healthy but will be on call as the Giants' "sixth starter."
