Span stated before Sunday's Cactus League outing that he hasn't played in center field yet due to a sore shoulder, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Analysis:

The injury isn't serious enough to keep Span out of the lineup, as evidenced by his presence at the top of the order and in the DH spot Sunday, according to Chris Haft of MLB.com. Span seems to be ramping up his workload, as he's participated in throwing drills this spring. Because he's never tended to a shoulder injury, though, a timetable for his first appearance in the field is unknown at the moment.
