Enrique Hernández - Page 3 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Kicks off rehab assignment Hernandez (elbow) went 2-for-3 with a single and an RBI double in his first rehab game with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.

Impact Hernandez got the start at designated hitter in what was his first game action since he went down with left elbow inflammation in early July. The utility player will need a few more rehab games before rejoining the Dodgers' active roster, perhaps before the end of the month.

Takes part in BP Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Hernandez (elbow) took part in batting practice Sunday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hernandez had been able to take part in baseball activities for more than a week, but being able to take at-bats against live pitching is especially notable, given that swinging the bat had been presenting the most discomfort for him while he attempted to play through his left elbow injury before landing on the shelf July 7. According to Sonja Chen of MLB.com, Hernandez is set to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Oklahoma City this week, potentially setting the utility player up for a return from the 10-day injured list before the end of August.

Aiming for early September return Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Hernandez (elbow) is feeling pain-free and could be ready to return from the 10-day injured list in early September, Sonja Chen of MLB...

Impact Less than a week ago, Roberts expressed some uncertainty whether Hernandez would be ready to return from the IL before season's end, but the 33-year-old utility player has evidently made some significant strides in his recovery from left elbow inflammation in recent days. According to MLB.com, Roberts said that Hernandez has reached a point in his rehab that he's able to ramp up his involvement in baseball activities. Hernandez has already done some throwing, running and fielding grounders, but swinging the bat without discomfort will be the major hurdle that he'll need to clear before heading out on a rehab assignment.

Not guaranteed to return Hernandez (elbow) is not guaranteed to play again in 2025, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.

Impact Hernandez has been on the shelf since early July due to left elbow inflammation, but he has yet to resume baseball activities. Manager Dave Roberts said Monday that the team is "hopeful" that the 33-year-old will be able to return before the end of the season, but nothing is guaranteed. Hernandez has posted a disappointing .195 average with eight home runs, 22 RBI and 23 runs scored over 169 at-bats in 72 games this year.

Still not doing baseball activities Hernandez (elbow) has yet to resume baseball activities, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Dodgers remain optimistic that Hernandez will return from his left elbow inflammation before the end of the season, but it appears it will not happen anytime soon. Hernandez has been sidelined since early July.

Still experiencing pain Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that Hernandez (elbow) is "in a holding pattern" until he's pain-free, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

Impact Hernandez landed on the 10-day injured list due to left elbow inflammation July 7, and the initial expectation was that the utility man could be back right after the All-Star break. However, Hernandez's return date is now hazy given that he hasn't yet been able to resume baseball activities. Hernandez had been struggling prior to moving to the IL, going 2-for-24 over his previous 10 contests.

Placed on 10-day injured list The Dodgers placed Hernandez on the 10-day injured list Monday with left elbow inflammation.

Impact Manager Dave Roberts said it's an injury Hernandez has dealt with for about a month, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. Because the injury is to his non-throwing elbow, Hernandez would seem to have a good chance to return when first eligible at the start of the second half.

Slugs eighth homer Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer Sunday's 5-1 win versus the Royals.

Impact The veteran utility man started at first base and gave the Dodgers a 2-1 lead when he took Kansas City starter Kris Bubic deep in the second inning. The long ball marked the first in June for Hernandez, who entered this contest with an anemic .119/.196/.167 slash line across 46 plate appearances in 23 games this month. Through 177 total plate appearances, the 33-year-old is slashing .206/.273/.388 with 23 runs scored and 22 RBI in a short-side platoon role.

Drawing start against lefty Hernandez will start in left field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact The Dodgers are stocking up on some extra right-handed bats to counter Giants southpaw Kyle Harrison, so Hernandez will get the call in left field to fill in for the left-handed-hitting Michael Conforto. Hernandez will be making his first start since June 5, and the light playing time may in part explain why he's gone just 2-for-20 with 10 strikeouts so far this month.

Gets aboard five times in loss Hernandez went 2-for-2 with a solo home run, three walks and three total runs scored in Saturday's 11-9 loss to the Angels.

Impact Hernandez has three multi-hit efforts over his last nine games, going 10-for-27 (.370) with two homers in that span. The utility player had drawn just seven walks over 101 plate appearances prior to Saturday, with his three-walk performance in this contest helping to lift his on-base percentage from .270 to .305. He's added seven homers, 16 RBI, 16 runs scored, two doubles and no stolen bases over 36 contests this season.

Goes deep in high-scoring win Hernandez went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, an RBI double and three total runs scored in Friday's 14-11 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Hernandez started at third base against southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez in this contest. The 33-year-old Hernandez has a pair of multi-hit efforts in May, but he's struggling to find consistent playing time against right-handed pitchers. He's at a .215/.267/.468 slash line with six homers, 15 RBI, 12 runs scored, two doubles and no stolen bases over 87 plate appearances. Hernandez platoons with Max Muncy at third base, and he's also in the mix in the free-for-all for playing time at second base in the absence of Tommy Edman (ankle).

Smacks fourth homer Hernandez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's loss to Washington.

Impact Hernandez concluded the scoring in the contest with a solo shot to left field in the eighth inning. The utility man has taken on a prominent role in the Dodgers' lineup of late, as he's been starting at first base while Freddie Freeman has been on the injured list due to an ankle injury. Hernandez is batting a meager .111 on the season, but all four of his hits have left the park, and that has allowed him to rack up a healthy seven RBI over 39 plate appearances.

Homers in win Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Phillies.

Impact Hernandez gave the Dodgers a 2-1 lead with a two-run shot off Aaron Nola in the second inning. The 33-year-old is just 3-for-26 on the season, but all three hits have been home runs. He's started five straight games at first base since Freddie Freeman (ankle) was placed on the injured list, though he's unlikely to remain a factor upon Freeman's return.

APRIL 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Homers in start Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run against Atlanta in a 6-1 victory Monday.

Impact Freddie Freeman missed the game due to an ankle injury, giving Hernandez an opportunity to start at first base. The latter took advantage of the playing time, belting a solo blast to left field in the sixth inning. If Freeman misses additional time, Hernandez could be in line for more starts. He's gone just 2-for-12 at the plate so far this season, but both of his hits have been homers.

APRIL 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Slotting in at first base Hernandez will start at first base and bat eighth Monday against Atlanta, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Hernandez is in line for his first start since the Tokyo Series against the Cubs, and it'll come as a result of an ankle injury to Freddie Freeman. Hernandez figures to be the likely candidate to fill in at first base until Freeman is cleared for play, though given the Dodgers' extensive depth, Muncy could also get a look at first, meaning Hernandez or Chris Taylor would presumably bump over to the hot corner.
