Dodgers outfielder Andre Ethier was placed on the 15-day disabled list for the first time in his career on Tuesday. He suffered a small fracture in his right little finger while taking batting practice on Saturday. "It could be two to three weeks," manager Joe Torre said. "If it's longer, it's longer." Ethier won't return until the fracture actually heals. The preferred course of treatment for the injury is nothing, simply to allow nature to take it's course.
