Andre Ethier was taken for precautionary x-rays after being hit by a pitch on his right elbow. The x-rays were negative, and Ethier is considered likely to be available on Thursday. (Dylan Hernandez on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
Ethier avoided a broken bone and will not miss any meaningful time. Manager Don Mattingly has yet to formally announce the Dodgers' Opening Day outfield, but Ethier appears to be fifth in line for at-bats heading into the season, behind Yasiel Puig, Joc Pederson, Carl Crawford, and Scott Van Slyke. He offers little to no upside in fantasy, and he should not be drafted in even the deepest of leagues.
