Andre Ethier Listed As Day-To-Day
- Updated: September 4, 2015
CBSSports.com are reporting that Andre Ethier will be out for tonight’s game against the San Diego Padres.
The cause of the injury is as follows:
“Ethier fouled a ball off of his knee on Wednesday and is considered day-to-day.
Ethier, whose knee is swollen, is available to pinch hit if necessary on Thursday.”
Earlier this year we wrote the following on Andre Ethier:
“The Dodgers are have a crowded outfield and Ethier seems to be the odd man out in this situation. With the likes of rookie Joc Pederson and Yasiel Puig that leaves only one outfielder spot left and may assume Carl Crawford will man that position.
Andre Ethier has made it very clear that he desires to be traded if he isn’t starting, and well that Dodgers have been trying to move him all winter. There has been zero success in the trade opportunities for a number of reasons.
Everyone knows that Ethier is overpaid right now as he is set to make 56 million dollars over the next 3 seasons. And with the Dodgers outfield already stacked they can afford to move him.
Last year Ethier didn’t necessarily blow anyone away with his numbers. He hit a career low .249 but to his defense he did have the fewest plate appearances of his career as well. With his batting averaging decreasing each of the last three seasons it makes the case to trade for Either that much harder.”
Dodgers will take on the Padres at 7:10 pm PST.
