Andre Ethier to hit fifth in Hanley's absence
Andre Ethier - OF - Los Angeles Dodgers

Dodgers manager Don Mattingly announced Friday that Andre Ethier will move up to the fifth spot in the lineup while Hanley Ramirez is sidelined with his injured thumb.
It's a small boost to Ethier's fantasy value, as he should have plenty of RBI chances hitting directly behind Matt Kemp and Adrian Gonzalez. Despite his struggles against left-handed pitching, Ethier has proven to be a very consistent performer, and should have no problem netting 20 homers and 85 RBI as long as he stays on the field.
