Dodgers News: MRI Reveals Minor Herniated Disc In Andre Ethier’s Back

Spring Training has not be kind to Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Andre Ethier is recent years. After a strong 2015 season he went into camp last year as the team’s starting left fielder and possible leadoff hitter.

But after fouling a ball off his leg, Ethier sustained a fractured tibia, costing him most of last season. He returned for a handful of games at the end of the regular season, and was with the club for the National League Division Series and NL Championship Series.

Ethier came into spring this year completely healthy and looking to battle for a starting outfield spot, as he put the leg injury behind him.
