Anthony Banda, a reliever for the Los Angeles Dodgers, was placed on the disabled list on Tuesday night after sustaining a hairline fracture in his left hand after colliding with a “solid object.”
Manager Dave Roberts said Banda damaged his hand in irritation after allowing two runs and three hits in one inning against the Chicago Cubs on Monday night.

“I know he regrets it. “We all regret it,” Roberts said, but he couldn’t give Banda a specific return date.
The decision to place Banda on the injured list came immediately before Tuesday’s game, thus reliever Brusdar Graterol was activated off the IL one day sooner. Graterol worked the ninth inning in a 6-3 loss to the Cubs.
Banda, who was acquired to the Dodgers from Cleveland on May 17, has appeared in 46 games this season, recording a 3.23 ERA and 50 strikeouts.
