Bobby Jenks is seeking a return to Major League Baseball.
Jenks, 33, has endured three back surgeries, including one that almost killed him. He has also been sober for 18 months after dealing with an addiction to pain killers. He also dealt with a bout of depression.
"Mentally, I'm still 100 percent in the game," Jenks said. "Even if [a return] is only for a year or two, knowing I got through everything and conquered this part of my life and finish how I want to finish ... ."
Jenks currently is rehabbing from spinal fusion surgery in which he had two plates and six screws inserted on Oct. 8 by Dr. Robert Watkins.
