Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Anthony Banda was added to the injured list on Tuesday night after getting a hairline fracture in his left hand when he hit a “solid object.”

Manager Dave Roberts said Banda injured his hand out of frustration after his performance on Monday night, where he allowed two runs and three hits in one inning against the Chicago Cubs.

“I know it’s something he regrets. We all regret it,” Roberts said, but he could not provide a return timeline for Banda.

The decision to place Banda on the injured list was made just before Tuesday’s game, leading to the earlier activation of reliever Brusdar Graterol from the IL by one day. Graterol pitched the ninth inning in a 6-3 loss to the Cubs.

Banda, who was traded to the Dodgers from Cleveland on May 17, has appeared in 46 games this season with a 3.23 ERA and 50 strikeouts.
