Adrian Gonzalez returns to lineup in opener in San Francisco

Adrian Gonzalez is back in the Dodgers lineup for their series opener against the Giants in San Francisco, after missing the weekend with a flare-up of back problems that have plagued him all season.

Gonzalez, who missed 67 games on two disabled list stints with a herniated disc in his back, had an epidural shot last week and was held out over the weekend in Los Angeles. He last played on Tuesday.

With Gonzalez at first base on Monday night, Cody Bellinger makes his second career start in center field.
