Feb. 8, 2010 - 9:35 PM ET

Scot Shields (knee) has not been cleared to begin a throwing program and is likely to miss the start of spring training.

Shields underwent knee surgery late last season. "I don't know how quickly I'll get on a mound. We'll probably have to take it slow," the setup man said Monday. "We've got a whole month-and-a-half or two months to get ready. ... I know my body. It's close to being 100 percent and we've still got two months." He's aiming to be ready for full-time action by Opening Day -- April 5.
