Hernandez (ankle) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
Hernandez will miss a third straight start as he continues to recover from a left ankle contusion. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts had said previously he expected Hernandez back in action either Monday or Tuesday, but the outfielder will now be shooting for the latter date due to some lingering soreness. Hernandez will go through his normal routine Monday and should be cleared for the second game of the series if all goes according to plan, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. Chris Taylor is in left field and batting ninth for Monday's series opener.
