Teoscar Hernández's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Updating a previous report, Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (foot) is "not doing great" after leaving Friday night's game at Dodger Stadium against the Cleveland Guardians when he was hit on the left foot by a pitch. X-rays on Hernandez's left foot came back negative, but Roberts said he thinks the outfielder will be going on the 10-day injured list. The 31-year-old was hit by a pitch in the first inning and was replaced by pinch-runner Chris Taylor, who also replaced him in left field. The main priority for the Dodgers at this point will be to get Hernandez healthy for a deep playoff run in October. Taylor should see an increase in playing time with Hernandez hurt, but the Dodgers could also use Kevin Kiermaier or rookie Andy Pages in left field. Hernandez is having an excellent first year in LA but may not be able to help fantasy managers much the rest of the way.UPDATE: Hernandez was in a walking boot when he left the stadium. Roberts said the concern level on Hernandez's injury is "high."

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (ankle) was forced from Friday night's contest early at Dodger Stadium in the first inning against the visiting Cleveland Guardians when he was hit by a pitch on his left ankle. Hernandez appeared to be in a lot of pain and limped to first base before being replaced by pinch-runner Chris Taylor, who also replaced Hernandez in left field. The Dodgers announced that Hernandez left with a left-foot contusion, which implies that it's not a serious injury, although he's likely to undergo further testing. For now, fantasy managers should consider the 31-year-old to be day-to-day, but check back for further updates. Hernandez entered Friday's game with 28 homers, 87 RBI, 10 steals and a .266/.330/.488 slash line with an .818 OPS, so the Dodgers can ill-afford to lose him for any stretch of time as the playoffs near.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez continued his hot streak with a 2-for-4 performance in Tuesday's loss versus the Philadelphia Phillies. One of his two hits was a home run, his third over his last five games. The veteran didn't receive much interest as a free agent this offseason and the Dodgers gladly scooped him up on a one-year deal, making many teams regret not going after the outfielder. Hitting in the middle of one of the best lineups in the league, Hernandez is now batting .269 with 25 home runs, 74 RBI and five stolen bases. He has shown no signs of slowing down and managers should continue to deploy Hernandez on a daily basis.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez continued his solid season in his team's 6-5 loss to the Oakland A's on Friday. Hernandez went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in the close loss. The veteran slugger's two-run shot in the first inning kicked off the scoring in the game, although the LA lineup went quiet until Shohei Ohtani hit a three-run shot in the ninth. Hernandez is now hitting .263 with 23 homers, 54 runs, 71 RBI, and four steals across 415 at-bats this season.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez continued his strong season by going 3-for-4 in Monday's victory versus the rival San Francisco Giants. Hernandez hit a solo home run, his 21st of the season and added two more RBI in the game to give him three on the evening. The 31-year-old was a free agent this past offseason and wound up signing a one-year deal with Dodgers after being disappointed with other offers from clubs. Those teams must be regretting not bidding more as Hernandez has blown up his value with a huge season thus far. On the season, Hernandez is now hitting .268 with 21 homers and 67 RBI. He remains a great option for managers as he hits in the middle of one of the best lineups in all of baseball.
