Dodgers News: Hamstring Tightness Forces Logan Forsythe To Early Exit From Rehab Game With Quakes

Logan Forsythe started at second base for High-A Rancho Cucamonga in his second rehab assignment, but only played two innings defensively. Forsythe struck out swinging in his lone at-bat prior to the early removal due to hamstring tightness.

On Wednesday afternoon, Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts revealed Forsythe felt the hamstring issue after his first game with the Quakes. That led Roberts to believing the second baseman would not return Friday, which was initially considered a likelihood.

The development that followed hours later ensured Forsythe will not be reinstated this weekend. “For him to have to come out of the game, I don’t see him being activated Friday,” Roberts said.

The 30-year-old was removed on April 15 because of hamstring tightness. He sat the following game but returned April 17. One day later, Forsythe sustained a fracture in his right big toe, and was put on the DL on April 19.

Excluding the hamstring issue, Forsythe is otherwise considered to be in relatively good health. “The foot and the toe is not completely healed, which we know. That potentially getting worse, there’s not much (concern),” Roberts explained.

Without Forsythe the Dodgers have largely platooned Chris Taylor and Chase Utley. The former having more success than the latter. Through Wednesday, Taylor is batting .333/.444/.600 with two doubles, two home runs and seven RBI in 13 games with the Dodgers.

While Utley has a feeble five hits and one RBI in 48 at-bats over 22 games. He struck out looking three times in Wednesday’s loss.

Forsythe, who batted .295/.407/.341 with two doubles and three RBI in 14 games, will not be rushed back. “We want to make sure he’s 100 percent healthy whenever he’s activated,” Roberts said.
