Teoscar Hernández Fantasy Stats

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez could be a trade candidate this upcoming offseason, speculate Fabian Ardaya and Katie Woo of The Athletic. Hernandez is entering the final year of his three-year, $66 million contract with Los Angeles, and he could be moved to both clear money and open up a regular role for Dodgers outfield prospect Josue De Paula. Across 491 plate appearances in 2026, Hernandez hit .267/.334/.425 with 16 home runs, 64 RBI, 66 runs scored, and five stolen bases. The 34-year-old remained a viable source of power and run production for Los Angeles, but his 10.6% barrel rate and 44.8% hard-hit rate were both his worst since his rookie season in 2016. If Hernandez is indeed moved and ends up in an inferior lineup to the Dodgers, his fantasy outlook could be slightly worse in 2027.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez was one of the stars of his team's 5-3 victory over the Atlanta Braves in Game 1 of the National League Division Series on Saturday. The 33-year-old got the scoring started with a two-run home run in the fourth inning and finished the game with two hits and an additional run scored in four at-bats. Hernandez had an up-and-down regular season in 2026, hitting .267/.334/.425 with 16 home runs, 64 RBI, 66 runs scored, and five stolen bases across 491 plate appearances. The veteran slugger posted a middling .706 OPS across 251 plate appearances before the All-Star break, but he closed the season by hitting .341 with four home runs and 18 RBI across 100 trips to the plate in September. If Hernandez can carry his recent hot streak into the postseason, he could be a major difference-maker for Los Angeles.

The Athletic's Katie Woo suggests that Los Angeles Dodgers veteran outfielder Teoscar Hernandez could lose playing time going forward due to his ongoing offensive struggles, especially against right-handed pitchers. Manager Dave Roberts is known for letting his veteran players swing their way out of slumps, but it was notable when Hernandez was pinch-hit for in Sunday's loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Roberts did it again in the sixth inning on Monday against the Kansas City Royals, and Woo suggests that the skipper will likely sit Hernandez against righty starters for the near future, with utility man Tommy Edman the most logical candidate to take over the majority of the reps in left field. "Since he's come back (from the IL), versus right just hasn't been to his standard, our standard," Roberts said of Hernandez. He was hitting .276 with a .348 on-base percentage before his Grade 1 hamstring strain at the end of May, but entering play on Wednesday, Hernandez was slashing .209/.258/.357 since returning from the injured list.

The Los Angeles Dodgers reinstated outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list on Monday and optioned outfielder Ryan Ward to Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move, according to Dodgers reporter Kirsten Watson. Nothing is official yet, but Hernandez should be right back in L.A.'s starting lineup for Monday's series opener in Sacramento against the Athletics and rookie left-hander Gage Jump. Hernandez is returning to the two-time defensive World Series champions after a month on the shelf due to a strained left hamstring. During four minor-league rehab games at OKC last week, the right-handed-hitting outfielder went 3-for-14, with all three of his hits clearing the fences. His return could push utility man Tommy Edman to second base more often with the Blue. The 33-year-old Dominican was having a strong season at the plate in 2026 before his hamstring injury, slashing .276/.348/.436 with a .785 OPS, seven home runs, 31 RBI, 30 runs scored, and two stolen bases in his 181 at-bats. Fantasy managers will want to get Hernandez back in their starting lineups to begin the week in all traditional formats.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (hamstring) is expected to be activated off the Injured List ahead of Monday's game against the Athletics, according to manager Dave Roberts. Hernandez has been sidelined since late May due to a hamstring injury. It sounds like the team plans to limit Hernandez upon his return. Ryan Ward and Alex Call should lose playing time, but they should still get opportunities, with Hernandez only playing three or four times a week. Even with limited at-bats, Hernandez offers enough upside with the bat to warrant rostering in most fantasy formats.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (hamstring) has homered in each of his three games with Triple-A Oklahoma City to begin his minor-league rehab assignment. The 33-year-old outfielder started this rehab assignment earlier in the week while recovering from a left hamstring strain and has turned all three of his base hits during that span into home runs. He now sports a solid .273 batting average while striking out just once. Considering how well he is swinging the bat, and with previous reports suggesting he could be reinstated as early as Monday, it appears that he is all but ready to make his return to the Dodgers' lineup. Through 51 games this season, the 11-year veteran is hitting .276 with seven home runs and 31 RBI.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said on Sunday that outfielder Teoscar Hernandez's (hamstring) minor-league rehab assignment will be with Triple-A Oklahoma City and that the hope is he will return for a series in Sacramento against the Athletics, starting on Monday, June 29, according to Sonja Chen of MLB.com. Hernandez should be cleared to begin a rehab assignment this week at OKC after taking live batting practice the last few days. The 33-year-old veteran right-handed slugger has been sidelined with a Grade 1 hamstring strain since late, May, but barring a setback on his rehab assignment this week and weekend, he could be ready to go to begin next week. The Dominican outfielder could be eased back into the Dodgers' starting lineup next week, but he's an everyday player for the team when he's fully healthy. Hernandez was hitting a strong .276/.348/.436 with a .785 OPS, seven home runs, 31 RBI, 30 runs, and two steals in 181 at-bats before tweaking his hamstring. The two-time All-Star has at least 25 home runs in each of his last five seasons, dating back to 2021 with the Toronto Blue Jays.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (hamstring) is scheduled to take at-bats in a live batting practice session on Thursday, according to Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register. Hernandez could go on a minor-league rehab assignment early next week, according to manager Dave Roberts. As long as the veteran outfielder doesn't suffer a setback on his rehab assignment, he could be back in the Dodgers' lineup late next week/weekend. The 33-year-old Dominican has been out for over two weeks with a strained left hamstring. At the time of his injury, the two-time All-Star was hitting .276/.348/.436 with a .785 OPS, seven home runs, 31 RBI, 30 runs scored, and two stolen bases in 51 games across 204 plate appearances in 2026. Hernandez had picked things up offensively in May, batting .325 (27-for-83) with three home runs, four doubles, 14 RBI, 14 runs, and a stolen base in 24 contests. When healthy, Hernandez is excellent in points leagues for his run production in the heart of the Dodgers' stacked batting order. He's rostered in 86% of Yahoo leagues and should not be floating around on the waiver wire anywhere.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said on Monday that outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (hamstring) could start a minor-league rehab assignment this weekend if his recovery continues to go well over the coming days, according to Jack Harris of The California Post. Hernandez said that his left hamstring is improving and that it's a "big week" of baseball activities for the first time since he went on the 10-day injured list. The 33-year-old Dominican veteran was placed on the IL in late May with a Grade 1 left-hamstring strain, but if everything goes well this week and he avoids a setback on his rehab assignment, Hernandez could rejoin the Dodgers' roster at some point next week. The two-time All-Star was hitting at a strong .276/.348/.436 clip with a .785 OPS, seven home runs, 31 RBI, 30 runs scored, and two stolen bases in 51 games across 204 plate appearances for the Blue before landing on the shelf. Hernandez is a great fantasy asset in points leagues in the heart of the Dodgers' stacked lineup when he's healthy, and he's rostered in 86% of Yahoo leagues despite his nearly month-long absence.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (hamstring) told Sonja Chen of MLB.com that he expects to miss about a month while he recovers from his hamstring strain. "He'd like to be back sooner than that, but he also understands the importance of coming back the right way so that it doesn't linger into the rest of the season," Chen wrote. We can appreciate the fact that Hernandez wants to put his injury behind him and return once he's 100% healthy, even if that means his injured list stint lasts until late June or early July. The 33-year-old is rostered in 76% of fantasy baseball leagues, so coming back healthy will benefit his fantasy managers if he's able to continue producing at a high level. Prior to the injury, he was slashing .276/.348/.436 with seven home runs, a 9.3% walk rate, a 27.0% strikeout rate, and 122 wRC+. He currently ranks #34 among outfielders in RotoBaller's latest fantasy baseball redraft rankings for 2026.
