Forsythe was injured Tuesday night when he was hit by a pitch from Colorado's Kyle Freeland. Broken bones generally require four to six weeks to fully heal, but because it's a hairline fracture, the Dodgers hope their starting second baseman can return in as little as two weeks, depending on pain tolerance.
"It's not ideal, but they were optimistic about it not being a typical break," said Forsythe. "Not four to six weeks, maybe two weeks I can get back out there. I've had breaks like this before and it's just pain tolerance. Whenever I feel like I can go, I will.
