Andre Ethier says Los Angeles Dodgers forced him to play injured

In a Sunday Los Angeles Times story by T.J. Simers, Ethier was quoted saying his right knee will require surgery in the offseason, and despite his discomfort and struggles at the plate, the Dodgers keep trotting him out night after night.

“It’s only going to get worst from this point. I’ve dealt with it all season long, but as the season goes on my body wears down. That’s just the way it is — I keep getting put in the lineup, so what am I supposed to do?”
