LOS ANGELES -- Adrian Gonzalez's back continues to give the 35-year-old issues this season.
For the second time in nearly three months, the Dodgers' first baseman was given an epidural for his back pain. Gonzalez missed 54 games on the disabled list earlier this season because of his back injury and received an epidural in June. Since returning from the DL on Aug. 18, he's batting .226 with one homer in 13 starts.
The five-time All-Star also had an epidural in 2016 for a pinched nerve, and his back issues have lingered throughout this season.
