LOS ANGELES (AP) — Andre Ethier was photographed making obscene gestures earlier this week and Dodgers manager Don Mattingly has talked with the star outfielder about it.

During batting practice before a game against the Brewers, Ethier was snapped flipping his middle fingers at a photographer. He says he found the photographer distracting.

Either says he used bad judgment and will accept any punishment that baseball decides to hand out.

Mattingly says the Dodgers will handle the problem internally.
