• Dodgers' Enrique Hernandez: Blasts homer in win

  09/23/2024 • By RotoWire

  Hernandez went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday's win over the Rockies. Hernandez went deep to left center in the seventh to bring the Dodgers within two runs of the Rockies. He now has two homers and five RBI in his last four games, which has accounted for all of his RBI since Aug. 27. He continues to work in a platoon at second base with Gavin Lux, but Hernandez was awarded the start Sunday at third after Max Muncy was scratched due to side soreness. If Muncy were to be held out more during the week, Hernandez could pick up a few extra starts.
