R.A. Dickey has no intention of missing starts

Blue Jays starting pitcher R.A. Dickey, who continues to battle discomfort in his neck and back, said Wednesday morning it was too early to tell how he was feeling after Tuesday's start, per MLB.com. However, Dickey reiterated he has no intention of sitting out because of his ailments.

"No, you certainly contemplate how can you eradicate what's going on back there, but I get paid to be on the field and I take a lot of pride in that," Dickey said on Tuesday. "I feel like my team needs me, and if I can be out there, I'm going to be out there."
