Ethier (back) is not expected to be ready to return to the Dodgers until June, Andy McCullough of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ethier still hasn't begun baseball activities and is expected to require somewhere near a full spring training prior to returning to the lineup, which pushes back the embattled outfielder's timetable even further. Nothing is set in stone as of now, but a more specific gameplan should come forth once he's able to ramp up his activity a bit more.
