Vladimir Guerrero insists that the finger injury that forced him to miss the Angels' game on Thursday isn't a serious issue, according to the Press-Enterprise.

He claims it's a problem he deals with annually and that he has experienced pain and swelling in the right index finger on occasion since getting hit on the hand back in 1996.

"Once it swells up, it doesn't go down," Guerrero said through a translator. "It's something I've lived with my whole career. It won't go down."

"Once the season ends, that's when the swelling starts going down. Just swinging the bat, once it swells up, it stays," he added.
