Ethier has a sore ankle, but should be back soon

Andre Ethier sat out this afternoon's game in Pittsburgh with a sore left ankle. The injury happened during Wednesday night's game when he rolled it stepping back onto first. He still played the rest of the game, however.

X-rays were negative, and he's not expected to miss much time. He's hoping to return in time for Saturday's game against the Marlins.

You never know with ankle sprains, but this doesn't at all look serious. I'm sure he'd at least like to play in the home opener next Tuesday against the Diamondbacks. That looks like a realistic goal.
