Victorian speedster James Pattinson has been diagnosed with a grade one hamstring strain but could return to the Sheffield Shield in two weeks.
A MRI scan on the fast bowler revealed the strain, which occurred in Victoria's Shield victory over Queensland last Friday.
Pattinson will miss the Bushrangers' next match against South Australia at Gliderol Stadium in Glenelg, which begins on Thursday.
However, as part of his workload management, he's only available for every second Shield fixture and would have sat out the match anyway.
Pattinson is aiming to return to the Victorian side for their clash in Alice Springs against Tasmania that begins on March 13.
The injury is said to be unrelated to the back injuries that have limited Pattinson to three first-class matches over the past 19 months.
