Dodgers News: Grandal Leaves Game with Ankle Injury, X-rays Negative

The Los Angeles Dodgers were dealt another heartbreaking loss in San Diego on Saturday as they lost to the Padres 3-2 on a walkoff walk in extra innings. To add insult to injury Dodgers catcher Yasmani Grandal left the game during the 10th inning after fouling a ball off his right ankle.

Grandal walked out of clubhouse limping.

Injuries have plagued the Dodgers this season with multiple players on the DL. In fact, Adrian Gonzalez (lower back tightness) finally returned to action Saturday after missing four consecutive games. Although Grandal’s initial x-rays came back negative, A.J. Ellis will start on Sunday for the series finale vs. the Padres. Grandal was 0-4 in the Dodgers loss.
