Athletics’ Michel Otanez To Start Season On Injured List

An MRI revealed that right-hander Michel Otanez has an impingement in his throwing shoulder, Athletics manager Mark Kotsay told MLB.com’s Martin Gallegos and other reporters.  Otanez will start the season on the injured list and the A’s didn’t release a projected a timeline, though Gallegos notes that the standard timeline for a normal impingement is two-to-three weeks of recovery.
Otanez made his Major League debut last season, and posted a 3.44 ERA over 34 relief innings
