Dodgers' Andrew Toles: Figures to see regular at-bats

With Andre Ethier (back) being shut down for 7-10 days, Toles has little standing between him and regular playing time to begin the regular season.

Analysis:

Toles continued his solid spring Monday, going 1-for-3 in a loss to the Indians and bringing his Cactus League batting average up to .286 in 35 at-bats. Ethier's presence in camp presented a potential roadblock to regular playing time for the young outfielder, but with the former's availability for Opening Day in question, Toles becomes the leading candidate to see regular playing time against right-handers in left field. The 24-year-old doesn't possess much power (he never hit more than seven home runs at any minor league level), but could be a sneaky source of steals (123 steals across four minor league seasons) without hurting fantasy teams' batting averages.
