Dodgers uncertain how long Andre Ethier will be out

Andre Ethier is the latest in a string of injured Dodgers, but the right fielder's absence is the biggest blow so far this season.

And the length of that absence was unknown as of Sunday, Dodgers Manager Joe Torre said.

Ethier broke a small bone in his right pinkie during batting practice here Saturday, and he returned to Los Angeles so that doctors could further examine the injury Sunday.

"My guess is we're going to wait a couple of days" to decide whether Ethier will have to go on the 15-day disabled list, Torre said. "By that time we should have a clearer idea of where we're going, if he's not going to stay active."
안드레 이띠어(Andre Ethier)의 상태는 여전히 알 수 없다고 합니다. 토레는 일단 이틀정도 더 기다려볼 것이고, 그때가서 그를 15일자 DL에 올릴지에 대한 여부를 판단할 것이라고 합니다. 오늘 이띠어가 LA로 돌아가서 정밀진단을 받기때문에 그런거 같습니다.

Rafael Furcal, also on the disabled list with a strained left hamstring, said Sunday he did not know how soon he might return or whether he would need additional rehabilitation games in the minor leagues.

The Dodgers had hoped to reactivate the shortstop Friday for the three-game series with the Padres, but the injury hadn't completely healed.
한편 퍼칼(Rafael Furcal) 역시 얼마나 빨리 로스터에 합류할지 혹은 추가적인 리헵이 필요한지에 대한 것이 여전히 불분명하다고 합니다.

And starting pitcher Vicente Padilla, also on the disabled list with a sore nerve in his right throwing arm, isn't expected to return until next month but continues a steady rehabilitation.

As Torre was speaking to reporters before Sunday's game, Padilla returned to the dugout from throwing lightly and, as he walked by Torre, flashed him a thumbs-up sign.
파디야(Vicente Padilla)는 오늘 경기전에 콘티 트레이너가 보는 앞에서 간단한 캐칭을 했지만, 이에 대해서도 여전히 알 수 없는 상태라고 합니다. 특별히 호전되는 기미가 보이지 않는걸로 봐서 지금 생각하는 2번이상의 리헵도 그냥 잠정적인 계획인거 같습니다.

With Padilla still recovering, right-hander Ramon Ortiz is scheduled to have his second start for the Dodgers on Wednesday — five days before he turns 37 — against the Padres at Dodger Stadium.

On Friday, Ortiz made his first major league start in three years against San Diego at Petco Park, giving up three earned runs in four-plus innings as the Dodgers won, 4-3. His previous appearances this year had been in relief, including May 8 when he threw five innings against the Colorado Rockies.

"There's really nobody other than [rookie Carlos] Monasterios that would be a consideration" for Wednesday's start and the Dodgers opted for more experience, Torre said.

"When we started Monasterios the one time [May 1] we had Ortiz behind him because we thought that was a security blanket for him," Torre said. "But when Ortiz gave us those 80-plus pitches out of the bullpen" against the Rockies "it gave us a little better feel for how long we can get out of him."
곧있으면 37살이 되는 라몬 오티즈가 2번째 선발등판을 통보 받았다고 합니다. 현지시간으로 수요일이 선발이 필요한 상황이었고, 마이너에서 대안이 없기때문에 오티즈를 그대로 쓸 모양입니다.
모나스테리오스도 생각은 했었나 봅니다. 하지만, 더 많은 경험을 가지고 있는 오티즈가 더 어울릴거라고 판단했다는군요.

해서 휴스턴과 2연전 이후에 맞붙는 파즈 2연전은 선발투수들간의 리턴매치가 되었습니다.

Luis Ayala exercised his out clause; the Dodgers will have to grant him his release if they don't add him to their 25-man roster by Monday.
The Dodgers will lose Ayala if they don't add him to the major-league roster by 5 p.m. on Monday.
이 시간이 어디 시간 기준인지는 모르겠으나, 월요일 오후 5시까지 루이스 아얄라(Luis Ayala)를 25인 로스터에 포함시키지 않는다면 그는 방출조항을 행사할 것이라고 하는군요.

이런 생각하면 안되는거 알지만, 시기적절하게 어제 엘버커키 경기에서 2점차 리드상황에서 9회에 마무리도 등판했던 아얄라는 블론세이브와 함께 패전투수가 되었는데, 설마 최근에 좋아진 다저스의 불펜상황을 보고서 보이콧을 한게 아닐까 하는 생각이 드네요.

이것도 저의 또 다른 음모론인가요?ㅡ.ㅡ;;
