The Athletics are going to open the 2012 season with a few nagging injuries.
Manny Ramirez, who did not travel with Oakland to Japan, strained a hamstring last week.
Meanwhile, left-hander Dallas Braden, who has been placed on the 15-day disabled list, suffered a setback in his recovery from shoulder surgery when he strained his throwing shoulder last week.
"He's not throwing right now," Bob Melvin said. "We're on hold with that. I don't have a timetable with him."
