Friedman said Mark Hendrickson is not running so as not to aggravate the injured IT band in his right thigh. The left-hander also will not throw off a mound for four or five days.

Maddon said the injury is still a couple of weeks away from becoming a concern.

"Right now I'm still hearing it's a precautionary thing," he said. "He's going to be fine."

MISCELLANY: First baseman Travis Lee, infielder Luis Ordaz and outfielder Darnell McDonald reported. The 63 players in camp tied 2004 for the fewest in team history. Former Rays outfielder Dave Martinez was introduced as a special instructor.
