Adrian Gonzalez said his back won’t present any problems for him Friday night when he takes the field in the Dodgers’ postseason opener.
"It should be 100%," Gonzalez said. "I don't think it's going to be an issue at all. If I don't get a hit, it’s not because of my back."
In the final weeks of the regular season, Gonzalez was slowed by a pinched nerve in his back, which he said weakened his left leg.
"It's just being a little more hesitant, not being able to let it go, not being able to take a full swing and just having to be a little more mechanical than aggressive," he said.
