Hernandez will get the start in left field Tuesday and is batting leadoff against the Diamondbacks, Eric Stephen of SB Nation reports.

The Dodgers are already without Scott Van Slyke and Carl Crawford due to back injuries, so Hernandez will get the start in left Tuesday to help add another right-handed bat to the lineup against lefty Patrick Corbin. Hernandez has gone 4-for-12 to start the year and should see semi-regular playing time with Van Slyke and Crawford sidelined, but Van Slyke's expected return in the coming days could render Hernandez useful only in daily formats this week.
