Yasmani Grandal returns to Dodgers lineup

Yasmani Grandal is back in the Dodgers' lineup at catcher on Tuesday night against the Reds, three days after fouling a ball off his right ankle in San Diego.

Grandal left Saturday's game in the 10th inning with a right ankle contusion, and didn't start either of the last two games. He did strike out as a pinch hitter on Sunday, and was available to pinch hit or catch if needed on Monday, though he didn't appear in the game.

Manager Dave Roberts said on Monday that had Grandal reached base during Sunday's 17-inning marathon, he would have used pitcher Chin-hui Tsao as a pinch runner.
