• Dodgers' Teoscar Hernandez: Turns tide with Opening Day homer

  Rotowire Mar 28, 2025

  Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Thursday in a 5-4 win over Detroit. The Tigers took a 2-1 lead in the top of the fifth inning, but Hernandez ensured that it was a short-lived Dodgers deficit with a three-run blast to center field in the bottom of the frame. The long ball was the veteran outfielder's first of the campaign, and he is now 2-for-12 with four RBI through Los Angeles' first three games. Hernandez should have plenty of opportunities to produce this season hitting among a talented group of Dodgers batters -- he hit third in the order Thursday behind Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts and ahead of Freddie Freeman.

• Dodgers' Teoscar Hernandez: Returning to Los Angeles

  Rotowire Dec 27, 2024

  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

  Rotowire Dec 4, 2024

  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.

• Dodgers' Teoscar Hernandez: Scans come back clean

  Rotowire Sep 7, 2024

  Hernandez said Saturday that an MRI and CT scan on his left ankle came back negative, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

However, it now appears the 31-year-old outfielder escaped the incident with no more than a bruise.
