Daric Barton was given another cortisone injection Monday in his troublesome right shoulder.
Barton underwent surgery in September to repair a partial labrum tear in the shoulder and has not made an overly smooth recovery. The Athletics are still hopeful that he'll be ready for the start of the regular season, but the 26-year-old first baseman is running out of time. He will be shut down for at least the next three days.
