Dodgers' Franklin Gutierrez: Return pushed back until next week
Gutierrez (hamstring) won't return until after the weekend, Alanna Rizzo of SportsNet reports.
Analysis:
Gutierrez was initially slated to return this week, but a hit-by-pitch during his rehab assignment slowed him down, and he's running at just 80 percent at this point. The Dodgers' weekend opponents, the Phillies, don't have any left-handed starters slated to pitch, so he likely wouldn't have garnered much playing time before next week anyway.
