Forsythe had played in every game since he returned from the disabled list on June 10, and he had hit five home runs in his past nine games. He said he expects the absence to be brief, and he will likely be back in the lineup on Friday after an off-day on Thursday. He did not expect to be available to pinch-hit on Wednesday.
Forsythe said his injury occurred as he picked up a towel off the floor of the clubhouse and turned to throw it in the laundry bin.
"It's a little better today. The pain is manageable," Forsythe said.
