Dealing with lingering discomfort in his lower back, the Los Angeles Dodgers recently sent Andre Ethier for an x-ray and CT scan. He’d previously undergone an MRI on his balky back, which revealed a mild herniated disc.
Although the Dodgers did not provide an update to Ethier’s injury, the veteran outfielder will be held out of baseball activity for the next week. A decision on an immediate course of action was decided after Ethier met with back specialist Dr. Robert Watkins.
Ethier will be re-evaluated after the one-week layoff.
