1B Adrian Gonzalez isn't interested in rushing his way back from a herniated disk and plans to miss the next month rehabilitating the injury.

"This time around, I'm not going to rush," Gonzalez said, per the Los Angeles Times. "Obviously, I felt fine, but then the more baseball I (played), the more it started to stiffen up. I think slower is better than faster right now, at this point."
