Notes: Gonzalez to undergo MRI
Shortstop does not believe left knee is seriously damaged
By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com
SARASOTA, Fla. -- Alex Gonzalez is slated to undergo an MRI on his left knee on Monday night, the Reds shortstop said.
Gonzalez didn't start a game after Sept. 12 of last season because of a bone bruise in the same knee but appeared as a pinch-hitter in five games. The 31-year-old showed no obvious signs of the injury but has worn a wrap on the knee under his uniform pants.
"It's just to make sure it's nothing," Gonzalez said of the test. "I feel good taking ground balls. I don't feel anything moving side to side. I feel it when I step hard running."

Dusty Baker has mentioned his preference for Gonzalez as shortstop, but an MRI can be serious. Let's hope everything turns out for the best, and the knee is perfectly fine.
