    Los Angeles Dodgers right fielder Andre Ethier is tentatively set to return to the team's lineup Monday night against Arizona, the opener of a 13-game homestand.

    Ethier, who has a broken bone in the first knuckle of his right little finger, will first do a two-game rehabilitation assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday and Saturday at Memphis.

    The key word, of course, being "tentatively."

    "It's open," Dodgers manager Joe Torre said. "If he feels he needs more, we just want to make sure we get him back and he has no hesitation. It's a matter of what he can deal with and what he feels he can do. Whether he goes 0 for 10 or 5 for 10 [in the rehab], it's just a matter of what he feels he can deal with."
