• Dodgers' Teoscar Hernandez: Goes deep Sunday

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer and a walk in Sunday's 9-2 win over Alanta. Hernandez's bat woke up at the right time, as he swatted a two-run homer off Raisel Iglesias in the ninth to put the Dodgers up 7-2. The home run was his first since Aug. 28 and puts him one away from reaching 30 for just the second time in his career. Hernandez now has a hit in all four games since returning to the lineup, including three extra-base hits, following a brief absence due to an ankle contusion. For the season, he's slashing .268/.333/.493 with 62 extra-base hits, 89 RBI, 77 runs, 11 steals and a 48:171 BB:K in 597 plate appearances.

Hernandez appears set to be an everyday presence in the lineup moving forward, and he needs two more homers to reach 30 for just the second time in his career.

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Hernandez (ankle) isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports. Manager Dave Roberts said previously that he expected Hernandez to be back in the starting lineup by Tuesday, but the 31-year-old outfielder will instead miss his fourth consecutive start since getting hit by a pitch in Friday's game. The Dodgers have yet to indicate that he will need to spend time on the injured list, though that could change if he doesn't return to the starting nine within the next few days. In the meantime, Andy Pages will get the starting nod in left field and bat fifth.

  10D ago • By RotoWire

  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.
