LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Anthony Banda was placed on the injured list Tuesday night, the result of a hairline fracture in his left hand sustained when he hit a “solid object.”
Manager Dave Roberts said Banda hit the hand in frustration after his outing Monday night in a loss to the Chicago Cubs. He gave up two runs and three hits in one inning.
“I know it's something he regrets. We all regret it,” Roberts said, giving no estimate on when Banda could return.
The move came shortly before Tuesday's game began, moving up the activation of reliever Brusdar Graterol off the IL by one day. He pitched the ninth in a 6-3 loss to the Cubs.
Banda was traded to the Dodgers from Cleveland on May 17. He's pitched in 46 games this season, with a 3.23 ERA and 50 strikeouts.
