Scott Rolen said Friday that an MRI showed a protrusion in two discs in his lower back.
Rolen has not received an epidural injection, but hopes to get pain relief from anti-inflammatory medication and rest. “Since my setback in Chicago, I?ve been uncomfortable and not able to perform and move offensively and defensively the way I hoped to have by this point,” said Rolen. The Reds may give him the entire weekend off.
