IN PAIN: Oakland closer Mike Fetters was hoping to be off the disabled list by the time the Athletics arrived in Tampa Bay, but his calf injury worsened during a weekend series in Baltimore.

"This is as frustrated as I've ever been in my career," Fetters said. "Right now I can pitch. But right now I can't move to field a bunt or cover first. It's not fair for me to go out there if I can't field my position."

Fetters, who has not pitched since April 5, is eligible to come off the disabled list at any time.
