Dodgers Notes: If back doesn’t heal, Adrian Gonzalez says he might retire when contract ends

LOS ANGELES – Adrian Gonzalez has been dealing with back pain on and off since 2012 – more frequently on than off over the past two years. He is not willing to put up with it much longer.
The Dodgers’ veteran first baseman said he went to the DL for the first time in his 14-year career last month “in good spirits” because he knew it was a temporary thing. He did return after two weeks (earlier than expected because of an injury to Andrew Toles) but is back on the DL
