Dodgers' Enrique Hernandez: Sitting after four straight starts
Enrique Hernandez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.Hernandez will head to the bench Sunday after he had started in each of the last four games -- three at third base, one at first base -- while going 4-for-14 with three RBI and two runs. The Los Angeles Dodgers should be able to find regular room for Hernandez in the lineup against left-handed pitching during the final month of the season, but the right-handed-hitting utility player could find playing time versus righties more difficult to come by in September. Los Angeles is expected to get Hyeseong Kim (shoulder) back from the injured list ahead of Tuesday's game in Pittsburgh, and Tommy Edman (ankle) looks to be on the cusp of a rehab assignment and will soon give the Dodgers another utility option.

Dodgers' Enrique Hernandez: Takes part in BP
Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Enrique Hernandez (elbow) took part in batting practice Sunday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.Hernandez had been able to take part in baseball activities for more than a week, but being able to take at-bats against live pitching is especially notable, given that swinging the bat had been presenting the most discomfort for him while he attempted to play through his left elbow injury before landing on the shelf July 7.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Enrique Hernandez (elbow) is pain-free and could be ready to return from the 10-day injured list in early September, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.Less than a week ago, Roberts expressed some uncertainty whether Hernandez would be ready to return from the IL before season's end, but the 33-year-old utility player has evidently made some significant strides in his recovery from left elbow inflammation in recent days. According to MLB.com, Roberts said that Hernandez has reached a point in his rehab that he's able to ramp up his involvement in baseball activities. Hernandez has already done some throwing, running and fielding grounders, but swinging the bat without discomfort will be the major hurdle that he'll need to clear before heading out on a rehab assignment.
