Hernandez (hamstring) will take live batting practice Thursday and could be ready to begin a rehab assignment early next week, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
Hernandez is ramping up his baseball activities this week after missing the last two-plus weeks with a left hamstring strain. If Hernandez is able to begin a rehab assignment early next week, he could be ready to return from the 10-day injured list by the following weekend. Ryan Ward has been serving as the Dodgers' primary left fielder since Hernandez went down.
