Dodgers Injury News: Logan Forsythe Delayed In Beginning Throwing Program

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Logan Forsythe received the first opportunity to fill in at third base while Justin Turner recovers from a fractured wrist. He appeared in 11 games at the position and committed four errors before being placed on the 10-day disabled list with right shoulder discomfort.

Forsythe later attributed the injury to playing third base, given the need to more regularly make longer throws. Nonetheless, his stay on the disabled list was initially expected to only be the 10 days.

There was an expectation Forsythe would be reinstated on the day he was eligible — which was Wednesday. That didn’t manifest, and now the Dodgers are looking at being without Forsythe for at least another week.

According to Josh Cooper on MLB.com, Forsythe couldn’t yet begin a throwing program because the shoulder began bothering him:

Meanwhile, Dodgers second baseman Logan Forsythe (right shoulder inflammation) is playing “light catch,” according to Roberts, but still isn’t “letting it go.”

“For me, he has to be able to throw to bases and come back and throw at a high volume, and he’s not there yet,” Roberts said.

Forsythe said he will start a throwing program Friday. He experienced discomfort while throwing on April 23.

Assuming all goes well, Forsythe could find himself back on the field by the beginning of May. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts previously indicated the 31-year-old would go on a rehab assignment that was four or five games.

In Forsythe’s absence, the Dodgers have tried out numerous players at third base. Those that have seen time at the position include Kyle Farmer, Kiké Hernandez and Max Muncy.

When Forsythe returns, he looks to turn it around offensively. In 12 games and 49 plate appearances this season, he is slashing a feeble .174/.224/.283 with two doubles and one home run.
