Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger on Wednesday declared himself "100%" and said he has returned to practicing with the team.

The reigning National League MVP said he took swings Wednesday and felt no issues with his back.

Bellinger said he simply had a "knot" in his back and was adamant he did not injure himself swinging at golf balls at Albert Pujols' annual charity event Sunday at Topgolf in Scottsdale, Arizona.

MLB had tweeted out video of Bellinger and Mike Trout launching golf balls.

He said he understands why there was speculation he hurt himself swinging a golf club, "but that wasn't the case."

Bellinger was not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's spring training game against the Giants, however.
