• Dodgers' Teoscar Hernandez: Swats second spring homer

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Hernandez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Monday's exhibition loss to the Angels. Hernandez put the Dodgers on the board with a solo shot in the second inning and added an RBI single in the fifth. The veteran outfielder is slashing .289/.357/.526 during the exhibition slate, and he also went 1-for-8 with a walk and an RBI during the Dodgers' season-opening two-game set in Tokyo, Japan against the Cubs. Hernandez re-signed with the World Champions on a three-year deal last December and could see plenty of RBI opportunities batting cleanup behind Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman most games this season.

Hernandez has played in six games so far this spring, going 5-for-16 with three extra-base hits.

• Dodgers' Teoscar Hernandez: Returning to Los Angeles

  12/27/2024 • By RotoWire

  Hernandez signed a three-year, $66 million contract with the Dodgers on Friday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports. Hernandez has been very open about his desire to remain with the Dodgers since winning the World Series during his first season in Los Angeles, and the two sides have now officially worked out a deal to keep him in town for a few more years. The 32-year-old is coming off a regular season in which he slashed .272/.339/.501 with a career-high 33 homers, 84 runs scored, 99 RBI and 12 stolen bases. He'll presumably reprise his role as the Dodgers' everyday left fielder and will be surrounded by All-Stars in the starting lineup, making Hernandez a coveted fantasy asset once again heading into 2025.

• Teoscar Hernandez: Working toward deal with Dodgers

  12/05/2024 • By RotoWire

  Hernandez and the Dodgers are working to "nail the final details of a contract," David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports. No agreement is in place just yet, but bringing back Hernandez would be a significant upgrade to a Dodgers outfield that currently features Tommy Edman, Andy Pages and James Outman. Hernandez slashed .272/.339/.501 in the regular season with a career-high 33 home runs, 84 runs scored and 99 RBI during his first campaign with Los Angeles, and remaining in a lineup that boasts Shohei Ohtani (shoulder), Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts would certainly help Hernandez achieve similar totals in 2025.
