Any time you have an injury with your legs -- you use your legs for everything, to field, throw, to hit, ... It affects everything you do on the field.

I feel good, but I don't think I'll be 100 percent to play.

I can't [rest] right now, ... Right now, we're struggling, and I know they need me out there. My team needs me out there, and I'm playing through it.

I would like to represent my country but I don't think I'll be 100 percent to play in early March. I'm committed to (the Cubs), and I think I owe them.

They don't know about it, ... That's what happens in here, in the clubhouse. They don't need to know about it. Everybody plays through injuries, and I'm not the only one.

I can jog fine, ... but I'm not going to hit a home run all the time.

I don't want to push it, ... We only have so many games left.

Hopefully, they keep doing it. And hopefully we can get it for the fans. They deserve it.

That's the only reason I'm working out the way I am.
