Los Angeles Dodgers utility man Enrique Hernandez got on base in all five plate appearances in Saturday's 11-9 loss to the Angels, going 2-for-2 with his seventhhome run of the year and drawing three walks. The 33-year-old recorded one RBI and scored three times in the contest as well. Since May 7, the veteran is 10-for-27 (.370) with a double, two home runs, three RBI, eight runs scored, and a 4:4 BB:K, hitting up and down the Dodger lineup and playing all over the field. His positional versatility (1B, 2B, 3B, SS, and OF on Yahoo!) makes him an appealingwaiver add in season-long leagues while he's hitting well, and can be a cheap DFS option in good matchups. Speaking of which, the right-handed hitter will face off againstlefty Yusei Kikuchi in Sunday's series finale, whom he is 5-for-16 off of lifetime with a double, two walks, and zero strikeouts.

Los Angeles Dodgers utility man Enrique Hernandez went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run, two RBI, and three runs scored in Friday's 14-11 win over the Diamondbacks. The veteran'sbatting average may not show it as it sits at .215, but he's been somewhat productive in the lineup, now with six homeruns on the year with 15 RBI, and 12 runs scored in 87 plate appearances, leading to a .317 wOBA and 102 wRC+. He is not a preferred option for fantasy without regular at-bats, though, despitebeing eligible at 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, and OF on Yahoo!. If the 33-year-old found regular ABs, then he would be in consideration for a roster spot, as he's clearly still got some pop in his bat, although a career high 13.8 percentbarrel rate is sure to regress, but for now, he is a just a cheap DFS option unless you play in an NL-only league.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Enrique Hernandez (illness) could be available off the bench on Friday, according to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. He was unavailable for Thursday's contest and has been ruled out of starting on Friday, but manager Dave Roberts said his bench availability for Friday is to be determined. He already got off to a hot start in the Tokyo Series, launching a home run and driving in three runs in the Dodgers' March 18th victory over the Cubs. He figures to be a useful platoon player against left-handed pitchers but will only be fantasy-relevant in the deepest of leagues.
