Giants' Bonds Sits Out Practice

San Francisco Giants outfielder Barry Bonds missed most of workouts Sunday because of spasms in his lower back.

He felt the spasm during a running drill in early in the day. He later consulted with team physician Dr. William Montgomery and chiropractor Alan Parker.

"He still has a little soreness," said head trainer Mark Letendre.

"Maybe I'll take one more day off. But I don't think it's a big deal," Bonds told the San Francisco Examiner as he left Scottsdale Stadium Sunday afternoon.

Bonds was back this morning in the Giants spring training clubhouse, but there was no immediate word on his status for the rest of the day.
