Teoscar Hernández Fantasy Stats

Los Angeles Dodgers left fielder Teoscar Hernandez is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Washington Nationals. Alex Call will start in his place, batting ninth and playing left field. Hernandez had started the Dodgers' previous seven games, so this is his first day off this season. The veteran outfielder has continued to find success putting the ball in play, slashing .320/.320/.360 with two RBI so far. With that being said, he's still searching for his first home run of the year, and he owns a dismal 0% walk rate and 36% strikeout rate (albeit over a small sample size). As a result, he has produced 94 wRC+, which is his first below-league-average mark since his rookie campaign in 2016. It's a long season, and Hernandez will have plenty of opportunities to tap into some more power after he takes Saturday to rest.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (groin) admitted that a groin injury was partly to blame for the worst offensive season of his big-league career in 2025, according to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. "I wasn't moving the way I know I can move," Hern ndez said. The groin injury he dealt with last year never really felt right." The 33-year-old Dominican veteran cleaned up his diet in the offseason and dropped 10 pounds as he looks to bounce back in 2026. Hernandez is eager to prove that he can get back to the production he had in his first year in L.A., when he hit .272/.339/.501 with an .840 OPS, career-high 33 home runs, 99 RBI, 84 runs, and 12 stolen bases in 154 regular-season games. His defense also slipped last year, but Hernandez was still essential in helping the Dodgers win back-to-back World Series titles. Hernandez's batted-ball metrics in 2025 were similar to his career year in 2024, suggesting he can easily bounce back in his third year in Hollywood. And in the best lineup in baseball, you could definitely have a worse No. 3 outfielder in fantasy.

Outfielder Teoscar Hernandez has won the World Series in both of his seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers. He was much better in his first year in Hollywood, slashing .272/.339/.501 with an .840 OPS, career-high 33 home runs, 99 RBI, 12 stolen bases, and 84 runs scored in 154 regular-season games. Last year in 134 regular-season games, Hernandez hit .247/.284/.454 with just a .738 OPS, 25 home runs, 89 RBI, 65 runs scored, and five steals. The 33-year-old Dominican outfielder had a career-best 24.6% strikeout rate, but also a career-worst 4.8% walk rate. His power was down in 2025, but Hernandez's batted-ball metrics weren't far off from his strong 2025 campaign with L.A. Fantasy managers should know that Hernandez has hit at least 20 homers in each of the last seven full seasons. Hitting in the middle of the best lineup in baseball gives Hernandez a pretty safe floor, while he has 30-homer, 100-RBI upside. RotoBaller has him ranked as the No. 31 fantasy outfielder.

According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez is expected to remain on the Dodgers but will shift to left field following the signing of Kyle Tucker. On Thursday night, the Dodgers signed Tucker to a four-year, $240 million contract. While Hernandez spent time in left field during his first season in Los Angeles in 2024, he shifted to right field last summer. However, given Tucker's lack of experience in left field, the Dodgers will look to keep their newly-acquired superstar in right field to begin the 2026 season. Last summer, Hernandez took a slight step back and remained a productive power hitter, posting a .247/.284/.454 line with 25 home runs. Given that he will continue to bat in the heart of one of the most potent lineups in baseball, Hernandez remains a viable OF2 in all formats as he should provide high-end power production with elite counting stats.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez is not in the lineup on Sunday against Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Brandon Pfaadt. Alex Call will take Hernandez's place in right field and bat sixth. Speaking with the media on Sunday, manager Dave Roberts pointed to Hernandez's lackluster performance versus righties as a reason for sitting him. "Clearly he hasn't handled right-handed pitching (.689 OPS)," Roberts said. "I think that a two-day reset could help. He's an everyday guy, but I do think that where we're at, you've got to perform too." This has been a down season for the 32-year-old, who hasn't posted an OPS better than .740 in any month since April. While Hernandez's overall line of .245/.280/.452 in 454 plate appearances has been a letdown, he has still racked up 21 homers, 77 RBI, 53 runs scored, and five stolen bases. The Dodgers are off Monday, but Hernandez could return to the lineup Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (foot) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Hernandez is ready to play again after missing each of the last three games due to soreness in his left foot. Luckily, it was a minor issue that didn't require a trip to the injured list. Hernandez will bat fifth and play right field versus right-hander Logan Webb on Friday. He's in a bit of a slump recently, going 1-for-10 at the plate over his last four games. Despite that, fantasy managers should make sure to get him into their lineups ahead of first pitch.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (foot) is "not there yet," but he's expected to return for Friday's series opener against the division-rival San Francisco Giants. Hernandez fouled a ball off his left foot in Saturday's loss to the Houston Astros and hasn't played since, but he's expected to avoid a trip to the injured list to close out the first half of the season. Fantasy managers should check back on Friday to make sure the 32-year-old veteran is back in the fold. The Dodgers started Esteury Ruiz, James Outman and Andy Pages from left field to right field, respectively, in Wednesday's series finale against the Milwaukee Brewers. Although Hernandez has gone 3-for-24 with an RBI and five strikeouts in his last seven games since June 27, he's still a must-start in single-year fantasy leagues when he's in the lineup.

Per MLB.com's Sonja Chen, Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (foot) is expected to return for Wednesday's road matchup with the Milwaukee Brewers. The Dominican Republic native missed his team's previous two contests after fouling a ball off his foot in Saturday's loss to the Astros. Presumably, testing came back negative, as he's set to rejoin the team only a few days later. Apparently, Hernandez was feeling well enough to potentially be used off the bench in Monday's meeting with Milwaukee, but wasn't needed in a 9-1 defeat. The 32-year-old is caught in a bit of a slump, going 3-for-24 (.125) over his last seven appearances.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Houston Astros. This appears to be a routine rest day for Hernandez who has started in each of the last three games. During that span, Hernandez has gone 1-for-10 at the plate, so a rest day looks like it's needed. In his absence, Esteury Ruiz will make his first start since being recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City earlier in the week. Ruiz will bat ninth and play right field versus right-hander Ryan Gusto on Sunday. Update: Hernandez is getting scans on his left foot after fouling a ball off it last night, according to manager Dave Roberts. This explains why he's out of Sunday's lineup and could be sidelined for a few days because of the issue.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez is receiving the night off on Wednesday at Dodger Stadium against the visiting Chicago White Sox. Andy Pages is starting in right field and is batting fifth, while Tommy Edman makes the start in center field and hits eighth against White Sox left-hander Brandon Eisert. Hernandez went 2-for-4 in Tuesday's win over Chicago with an RBI and a run scored to break a stretch of three straight hitless games. While the 32-year-old veteran right-handed slugger hasn't been quite as good as he was in 2024 in his first year in L.A., the Dominican outfielder is still providing plenty across the board for fantasy managers with 14 long balls, 54 RBI and 41 runs scored in 270 at-bats in one of the best lineups in baseball. Pages is in the midst of a career year in just his second MLB season and has contributed 16 homers, 57 RBI and six steals in 82 games.
