Teoscar Hernandez Carries Dodgers Past Diamondbacks
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez hit a three-run home run in the sixth inning of Wednesday night's win over Arizona, providing the Dodgers with all their offense for the entire game. Hernandez finished the game 1-for-3 with his home run and a strikeout, and the rest of the batting order went just 4-for-26. His three-run blast came off Corbin Burnes and gives Hernandez 10 homers in his 36 games this season. He's hitting .307, which would be a new career-high, with a .292 ISO and .395 wOBA. Since returning from the IL, Hernandez is 1-for-8 with two runs scored and four RBI, but he made that one hit count on Wednesday, delivering the difference-maker as the Dodgers took their second straight win headed into Thursday's scheduled off-day.
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez is not in the starting lineup for Game 2 of the series against the division-rival Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday at Dodger Stadium. Andy Pages is in right field and batting sixth, while Enrique Hernandez is starting in center field and hitting eighth against D-backs right-hander Ryne Nelson. Hernandez made his return from the injured list in Monday's loss to the Snakes and went 0-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored, but he'll take a seat as the Dodgers ease him back into the fold. Fantasy managers will want to get the 32-year-old slugger back in their lineups when he returns on Wednesday. Pages has been a major contributor on offense for the Blue so far in 2025, but he's hitless in seven career at-bats versus Nelson. Hernandez continues to sell out for power, hitting just .229 (22-for-96) but with seven home runs in 2025.
Teoscar Hernandez Activated and Starting on Monday
The Los Angeles Dodgers announced on Monday that they activated outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (groin) from the 10-day injured list and optioned outfielder James Outman to Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move. Hernandez is right back in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against the division-rival Arizona Diamondbacks, starting in right field and batting fifth against D-backs right-hander Brandon Pfaadt. The 32-year-old veteran is returning from a Grade 1 adductor strain after playing in just one minor-league rehab game on Saturday with Single-A Rancho Cucamonga. Despite missing time with his injury, Hernandez is tied for 10th in the big leagues with 34 RBI. The Dominican outfielder should be returned to all starting fantasy lineups immediately. In seven career at-bats against Pfaadt, he's hitting .286 with a .572 OPS.
Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said on Thursday that outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (groin) will likely need to go on a minor-league rehab assignment before coming off the 10-day injured list. It appears that Hernandez could embark on a rehab assignment as early as this weekend, which means that barring a setback, he could rejoin the major-league roster by the middle of next week. Fantasy managers have to be stoked about that news, as the 32-year-old veteran Dominican was near the top of the MLB leaderboards in several run-producing categories at the time of his adductor strain. In fact, he's still tied for fourth in baseball with 34 RBI and has added nine homers, a strong .315 average (41-for-130), 21 runs scored, four steals and a .933 OPS. Hernandez must be stashed in all leagues while he finishes up his rehab.
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (groin) is reportedly making progress in his recovery from a Grade 1 adductor strain. Hernandez was placed on the injured list earlier in the week, but will hopefully be able to return when first eligible. The right-handed slugger has begun hitting in the batting cage and is expected to take live at-bats at some point during the next homestand. Fantasy managers should hold Hernandez through the injury. Before going down, Hernandez was hitting .315/.333/.600 with nine home runs and 34 RBI in 33 games. In his absence, Andy Pages should see more time in right field while James Outman could see extra playing time as well.
Dodgers Hopeful Teoscar Hernandez Will Return In Two Weeks
Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts sounded much more optimistic about outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (groin) on Wednesday. Roberts said he's hopeful that Hernandez will return from the 10-day injured list in two weeks. Hernandez was put on the IL on Tuesday after he was diagnosed with a Grade 1 left-adductor strain of his groin. It's good news that the 32-year-old veteran's injury was deemed mild, but we'll have a better idea of when he might rejoin the Dodgers once he resumes baseball activities. Barring a setback, fantasy managers should have Hernandez back before the end of May. The two-time All-Star has been money for fantasy managers in the potent Dodgers lineup, as he entered Wednesday's action tied with Pete Alonso and Aaron Judge with the most RBI in the league at 34. He's also hitting .315 (41-for-130) with nine home runs, 21 runs and four steals. Keep Hernandez stashed everywhere.
Updating a previous report, Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (groin) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday with a Grade 1 left-adductor strain, according to manager Dave Roberts. The Dodgers initially called Hernandez's injury hamstring tightness when he was pulled from Monday's series opener against the Miami Marlins. It remains to be seen when the 32-year-old slugger will return to the Dodgers, but it's good news that his groin strain wasn't all that severe. Fantasy managers should obviously be stashing Hernandez, who entered Tuesday's play as the MLB leader with 34 RBI in 33 games played. The Dodgers called up outfielder James Outman from Triple-A Oklahoma City, and he is starting in center field and batting eighth on Tuesday against Marlins right-hander Cal Quantrill. Andy Pages is in right field and is in the two-hole.
The Los Angeles Dodgers will place outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's contest against the Miami Marlins. Hernandez exited Monday's game early due to left hamstring tightness. According to Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register, outfielder James Outman has joined the team in Miami. Hernandez has enjoyed an impressive start to the season, boasting a .315/.333/.600 slash line with nine home runs and four stolen bases. Under the hood, the 32-year-old has generated an elite .316 xBA with a strong .370 xwOBA. While Hernandez is sidelined, fantasy managers should expect Outman, Chris Taylor, and Andy Pages to see time in right field. When Pages shifts to right field, Hyeseong Kim would likely cover center field.
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (hamstring) left Monday's series opener against the hosting Miami Marlins early due to left-hamstring tightness, according to the team. Before leaving the game early, Hernandez was 2-for-2 with an RBI for the Blue. Andy Pages shifted from center field to right field, while Chris Taylor entered the game to play center field for L.A. Losing Hernandez for any amount of time would be a big blow for fantasy managers. The 32-year-old Dominican veteran came into Monday's action hitting an impressive .305/.323/.586 with a .909 OPS, nine home runs, nine doubles, a league-leading 33 RBI, four stolen bases and 21 runs scored in 32 games. Check back for an update on Hernandez's condition later Monday or Tuesday morning. If he's forced to miss time, Taylor figures to be the biggest beneficiary of playing time in the Dodgers' outfield. UPDATE: Hernandez will get an MRI exam on Tuesday. "A little concerning," manager Dave Roberts said.
Teoscar Hernandez Collects Four Hits, Four RBI On Tuesday
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez had a big game on Tuesday, going 4-for-5 with two doubles, two runs, and four RBI in a 15-2 victory over the Miami Marlins. Hernandez was all over Marlins starter Sandy Alcantara, smacking two RBI doubles off of him in the first two innings. The 32-year-old is having yet another solid season for the Dodgers, hitting .297 with a .926 OPS while adding 18 runs, nine homers, 31 RBI, and two steals in 111 at-bats. His RBI total now leads the entire majors, and he could end up at or near the top in that category, considering his placement in the stacked Dodgers lineup. Hernandez should remain a fixture of fantasy lineups all season.
