Andre Ethier went 1-for-4 against Arizona in his return to action Monday.
Ethier sat out Sunday after fouling a ball off his foot Saturday night against the Braves. The 31-year-old outfielder is batting just .229/.315/.346 on the season. With Yasiel Puig established as LA's newest star and Matt Kemp and Carl Crawford rehabbing injuries on the disabled list, Ethier's days as a starting outfielder in Chavez Ravine could be numbered. Ethier is in the second year of a five-year, $85 million extension. Jun 11 - 3:52 AM

Jon Heyman of CBS Sports was told by one general manager that the Dodgers would likely have to cover half of Andre Ethier's contract in order to move him in a trade.

The possibility is being raised now that top prospect Yasiel Puig is up in the big leagues. It won't be long before Matt Kemp and Carl Crawford are back from the disabled list, so Puig could head right back down to the minors once they are ready. Trading Ethier could change that, but finding a taker for his contract will be difficult unless the Dodgers are willing to cover a portion of his remaining contract. Ethier is in the second year of a five-year, $85 million extension. It already looks like an albatross.

Andre Ethier - OF - Dodgers

Andre Ethier is making just his second career start in center field Thursday against the Angels.

Matt Kemp seems likely to head to the disabled list, so the Dodgers are giving Ethier a shot at a position he's played just once since 2007. He's unlikely to be used there regularly if Kemp goes on the shelf, as the Dodgers figure to give Skip Schumaker a shot there or call up Joc Pederson.

Andre Ethier is not in Monday's lineup against the Angels.

He's taking a seat with left-hander C.J. Wilson on the hill for the Angels. Scott Van Slyke will make the start in right field.

Andre Ethier is back in Friday's lineup against the Cardinals.

Ethier was benched Wednesday amid comments from Dodgers manager Don Mattingly that he was looking for the "most competitive lineup" and one that would "fight the hardest." While Ethier apparently didn't make the cut Wednesday, he's back in there now.

Andre Ethier - OF - Dodgers

Andre Ethier is out of Wednesday's lineup, in part because Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said he wanted to put out his "most competitive lineup" and one that would "fight the hardest."

Ouch. Ethier is only hitting .264 with four homers and a .758 OPS this season, but it's still unusual to see him sitting against a right-hander Wily Peralta. And in favor of Scott Van Slyke, no less. Either way, Mattingly sounds like someone who is feeling the pressure of his team's struggles. This could be the beginning of the end for him in Los Angeles.

Andre Ethier will receive a day off on Friday.

Andre Ethier - OF - Dodgers

Andre Ethier went 4-for-4 with two doubles and three runs scored Saturday against the Marlins.

Ethier had been driven in just four times in 33 games all season until it happened three times in this game. Since scoring runs figures to remain a problem all year long and he's a complete zero in steals, he's pretty limited as a fantasy outfielder these days.

Andre Ethier - OF - Dodgers

Andre Ethier went 0-for-4 on Saturday, ending his season-opening eight-game hitting streak.

Ethier's hitting streak wasn't resulting in great numbers anyway. Though nine games, he has just one run scored and two RBI. The run scored came on his lone homer.

Andre Ethier is dealing with some tightness in his right hamstring.

The good news is that Ethier plans to work out Wednesday and return to the lineup Thursday. He's batting .333/.412/.622 with one homer this spring.

Andre Ethier - OF - Dodgers

Dodgers manager Don Mattingly announced Friday that Andre Ethier will move up to the fifth spot in the lineup while Hanley Ramirez is sidelined with his injured thumb.

It's a small boost to Ethier's fantasy value, as he should have plenty of RBI chances hitting directly behind Matt Kemp and Adrian Gonzalez. Despite his struggles against left-handed pitching, Ethier has proven to be a very consistent performer, and should have no problem netting 20 homers and 85 RBI as long as he stays on the field.

Andre Ethier - OF - Dodgers

Though he will sometimes give Andre Ethier the day off against left-handers he has trouble against, Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said he's "definitely not going to platoon him."

Ethier is a career .238/.296/.352 hitter against left-handed pitching, but Mattingly is committed to playing his $85 million outfielder every day. Of course, it helps the outfielder's cause that the Dodgers don't really have any good options as potential platoon partners.

Andre Ethier was scratched from Friday's Cactus League lineup due to a recurring hand blister.

It's no big deal, as Ethier is expected to be back in there Saturday. He'll be the Dodgers' everyday right fielder again in 2013.
