SAN DIEGO -- Jack Flaherty joined his new team on Wednesday and downplayed concerns surrounding a back issue that reportedly forced the New York Yankees to back out of a deal and prompted him to join his hometown Los Angeles Dodgers.
"All I know is I feel great," Flaherty said from the visiting dugout at Petco Park. "I've felt great since we got back from the break or even right before that. I've felt great and been ready to pitch. I've been pretty anxious about just wanting to get out there again.
