The Dodgers addressed their weakness last season against left-handed pitching by acquiring second baseman Logan Forsythe and outfielder Franklin Gutierrez. Barely two weeks into the season, Forsythe and Gutierrez are on the disabled list.
Forsythe was put on the disabled list Wednesday because of a fractured big toe on his right foot, suffered when he was hit by a pitch Tuesday. Manager Dave Roberts called the fracture “a little hairline thing” and said he hopes Forsythe can return in about two weeks, as opposed to what he said was the traditional estimate of four to six weeks for a broken bone in the foot.
