Dodgers outfielder Andre Ethier suffered a fracture in his right tibia when he fouled a ball off his shin last week.

GLENDALE, Ariz. – For a little while, Andre Ethier thought he was in the clear.

“We got those X-rays and they were negative,” Ethier said Thursday, leaning on crutches in front of his locker.
