Is Adrian Gonzalez Hurt?

According to reports, Gonzalez has a degenerative disk in the back that gives him terrible pain when he moves around. For this reason, he has been unable to play baseball with his team. Dodgers’ manager Dave Roberts had said that the decision to make Gonzalez sit out of the entire postseason was made mutually between him and Gonzalez himself.

Roberts said, “As I talked to him, and seeing how his back is and how he’s feeling, I was very disappointed. But I think right now, as it stands, we’re going to shut him down, so we don’t cause more damage, get him ready for next year, and expect him to respond to rest. If something unforeseen does happen to the active guys right now, we might try to revisit Adrian.”

Roberts also said that surgery to heal Gonzalez’s injury had not been considered, but he was keen on getting a second opinion.

When Gonzalez joined the Dodgers, it was one of the most expensive trades in baseball. Adrian Gonzalez was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers along with three other players for $11.0 million in cash on August 25, 2012.

On that very same day, Gonzalez hit a three-run home run against the Miami Marlins. Since then, he has never looked back and become one of the most valuable and important players for the LA Dodgers.

The Dodgers, their management, and their fans are all hoping that Adrian Gonzalez will recover soon from his back injury and be in peak form for the next season.
