Dodgers | Andre Ethier could return Tuesday
Los Angeles Dodgers OF Andre Ethier (ankle) could return to action Tuesday, Sept. 24, against the San Francisco Giants. He took batting practice and participated in running drills before the game Saturday, Sept. 21.  Source: The Associated Press
 
BHQ take: Ethier last played 10 days ago on Sept 13. If healthy, he should be in lineup on most nights against RHPs as the Dodgers mix, match and rest their 4 primary OFs in an effort to stay sharp and get ready for the postseason.  —Jock Thompson
 
Impact: High
