Retreats to bench Sunday Hernandez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Impact The utility man will head to the bench after he started in each of the past four games while going 5-for-18 with one home run, three doubles, two walks, five RBI and two runs in addition to picking up reps in center field and at third base and shortstop. He should be a mainstay in the lineup versus left-handers and will see occasional starts versus right-handed pitching.

Hitting well since return to LA Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run and a walk Monday in a 13-7 victory over San Diego.

Impact Hernandez went deep in the sixth inning, swatting a solo shot to left-center field. It was his first long ball since rejoining the Dodgers as a result of a July 25 trade with the Red Sox. Hernandez has played regularly since returning to the National League, and he's hit well, slashing .324/.350/.541 with five doubles, Monday's homer, seven RBI, five runs and a 2:3 BB:K over 40 plate appearances.

Playing regularly against lefties Hernandez will start in left field and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Padres.

Impact Hernandez will stick in the lineup for the seventh straight game and will appearance in his 10th contest overall since beginning his second stint with the Dodgers on July 26. He's managed .286/.300/.393 slash line through his first nine games with the Dodgers, but don't expect Hernandez's playing time to remain quite as robust moving forward. Hernandez has mostly benefited from the Dodgers having encountered a lefty-heavy slate of late, with Sunday's game marking the fifth time in six contests that Los Angeles has opposed a southpaw starter. He's not expected to be a lineup regular versus right-handed pitching.

Impact Hernandez has posted an ugly .222/.279/.320 batting line in 323 plate appearances this season after also struggling at the dish in 2022, but he can play both shortstop and second base, and the Dodgers need help at both spots. The 31-year-old seems likely to operate in a super-utility role, even covering some outfield, as he makes his return to Los Angeles. He played six seasons with the Dodgers between 2015-2020.

Cora said they spotted mechanical issues, which has been addressed, and has no issues using him going forward. Shortstop will be a rotation of sorts with Hernandez cycling in with Yu Chang and potentially Pablo Reyes (abdomen) when he comes off the injured list.

Prominent in rally Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a walk, two RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 10-6 win over the Rangers.

His broken-bat blooper, with an exit velocity of 52.7 mph and expected batting average of .150, fell into left field to plate the tying and go-ahead runs.

Sitting Tuesday Hernandez isn't in the Red Sox's lineup Tuesday against Colorado, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Homers in win Hernandez went 1-for-4 with one homer, one RBI and one run scored in Friday's victory over the Yankees.

Hernandez's versatility has been well utilized as he has seen action all over the diamond. The 31-year-old has started games at second base, shortstop, and center field, but has struggled mightily at the dish on the season. Over his last seven games he has been particularly bad, batting just .160 with eight strikeouts.
