GLENDALE, Ariz. — Another spring injury will likely sideline Andre Ethier at the start of the season for the second consecutive year.
An MRI on Ethier’s back Monday revealed a mild herniation of a disc, according to Dodgers manager Dave Roberts. Ethier had been limited by pain in his lower back for most of two weeks before getting the exam.
Ethier received an epidural injection to treat the back issue and will be out of camp until later this week. Roberts said the Dodgers have not determined a timetable for when Ethier might get back on the field, let alone in games.
