Banda's injury was self-inflicted as he sustained a hairline fracture while hitting a solid object out of frustration after a rough outing against the Cubs.
Despite being a journeyman, Banda has become vital to the Dodgers' relief corps, with a career-low 3.23 ERA and a 24.8% strikeout rate this season.
Manager Dave Roberts expressed frustration with Banda's injury but noted that it doesn’t necessarily mean the end of his season or time with the team.
Banda's performance has earned him a more significant role, cementing his position as a reliable relief option, especially with nine holds this season.
