Yasmani Grandal confident in health

Los Angeles Dodgers C Yasmani Grandal (knee), who is expected to be the team’s main catcher this year, said his batting average was low last year because his surgically repaired right knee wasn’t at full strength. His knee hindered him most while hitting from the right side, as he hit .162 right-handed compared to .241 as a lefty, and all 15 of his home runs came from the left side. Grandal said he’s confident that his knee is fully healed now, however, and the team is encouraged with his health.
