Dodgers' Josh Ravin: Suffers setback in bullpen

Ravin (groin) aggravated his injury Friday and is likely headed for the DL, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

Ravin had been steadily progressing from his groin injury over the past week, but the setback may prove fatal for his Opening Day chances. The right-hander boasts a fastball in the high 90s and impressed in ten appearances with the Dodgers last season, posting a 0.93 ERA and 13 strikeouts, so he should return to the bullpen upon his return. Luis Avilan and Chris Hatcher will likely compete for an expanded relief role in his absence.
