Duda downplays back spams, hip pain, Bruce takes grounder at 1B

Lucas Duda missed all three workouts this past weekend and after getting a cortisone shot Friday in each of his hips.

"We'll take a few days now, instead of taking two weeks down the road," Duda explained, according to NJ.com. "We're just being cautious. In a couple days, I should be ready to go."

Duda, who missed more than 100 games last season due to a stress fracture in his back, said the two conditions are related, but does not expect to get another cortisone shot before getting back on field.

"I think it's just a spasm, that kind of let the pressure out of the back," he added.
