Former Minnesota Twins second baseman Brian Dozier in an interview with the LA Times,
revealed he has dealt with soreness in his right knee for the majority of the season. Dozier suffered a bone bruise while playing for the Twins back in April. A MRI showed no structural damage, but Dozier reported this week that the soreness has not gone away since.
Dozier has never spent time on the DL in his major league career, and says neither the Twins nor Dodgers has recommended he do so this year. He adds that he would not have accepted an assignment to the DL, saying:
“My mentality has always been, you can still be productive if you’re not 100%.
