Reds placed LHP Sean Marshall on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to March 21, with left shoulder inflammation.

Sean Marshall (shoulder) faced hitters Wednesday for the first time this spring.

Marshall threw live batting practice, and Reds manager Bryan Price said the session went well. The southpaw was bothered by shoulder soreness earlier in spring but he appears past that at this point. He's still be a few weeks behind his teammates in terms of readiness for the season -- he'll almost certainly begin the season on the disabled list -- but Marshall should be back with the club before too long.

Sean Marshall - R - Reds

Reds manager Bryan Price is hoping that Sean Marshall (shoulder) will be ready to join the bullpen "within that first week or two of the regular season."

Marshall has been limited to flat ground throwing after having a setback last week with his shoulder tendinitis. He could resume throwing off a mound on Friday, but that's not certain. "We're real happy with how he's rebounded after a few days off," Price said. "After re-initiating his throwing program, he hasn't had any setbacks, and he feels really good. He's definitely behind schedule, but if we don't have any setbacks and we're optimistic, he'll be ready at least within that first week or two of the regular season."

Sean Marshall - R - Reds

Reds manager Bryan Price said Tuesday that Sean Marshall (shoulder) is "a couple of days" away from a bullpen session.

Marshall has been dealing with left shoulder tendinitis this spring after battling through shoulder issues for most of last season. Price indicated that it's probably unlikely the lefty will be ready for Opening Day. "He's feeling great but with his history and the shoulder from last year and not feeling great here early in camp, we are going to go on the ultra-conservative side and just make sure he does everything in his throwing protocol to verify that he's feeling great and then get him back on the mound," Price said.

Sean Marshall told reporters Tuesday that his left shoulder is already feeling "much better."

Marshall has yet to make an appearance in a Cactus League game because of some lingering shoulder stiffness, but he'll throw on the side on Wednesday and still has ample time to prepare himself for the start of the regular season. Marshall tossed just 10 1/3 innings in 2013, so the Reds are treating him with extra care this spring.

The Reds are being extra cautious with Sean Marshall (shoulder) this spring.

"He's just a little stiff," Reds manager Bryan Price said on Saturday. "We're going to be on the front end of this thing. We're going to back him off. He doesn't need a full Spring Training to be ready for Opening Day. He did all of his offseason throwing. Slowing him down a little bit here, hopefully, will pay dividends later in the spring." The left-hander was plagued by shoulder issues most of 2013, and the Reds are hoping to avoid a repeat this year. Marshall has yet to appear in a game for the Reds this spring.
