Tulowitzki is no longer using crutches and should soon begin rehabbing his surgically-repaired hip, Nick Groke of the Denver Post reports. Tulowitzki underwent the season-ending procedure on his hip in mid-April and fully expects to be available for the start of spring training. He doesn't think the injury will be something that might reemerge next season, citing that former teammate Todd Helton underwent a similar procedure after the 2012 season and returned the following spring without experiencing any pain.
