By early next week, Dodgers first baseman Adrian Gonzalez will be eligible to end the first stint on the disabled list of his 14-year career. But barring a sudden need for Gonzalez, who is being given time off to rest his inflamed right elbow and the herniated disk in his back, he will remain on ice.
“Adrian’s on a slow program,” manager Dave Roberts said before Tuesday’s game against Pittsburgh. “He’s getting a massage, relaxing the mind, the body. He’s recuperating right now. When he’s ready to do baseball activities, he’ll be back.
