Enrique Hernández

Hernández got the start at second base in Game 4 against Atlanta, and he’ll do the same for the LCS opener against Jacob Misiorowski and the Milwaukee staff. Tommy Edman will open Sunday’s game on the bench. The full lineup: Mookie Betts SS, Freddie Freeman 1B, Will Smith C, Shohei Ohtani DH, Teoscar Hernández OF, Max Muncy 3B, Andy Pages CF, Kyle Tucker RF and Hernández at second with Tarik Skubal on the mound.

Hernández hit a massive home run against Chris Sale in Game 3 and will be rewarded with another start. Tommy Edman will head to the bench for the second straight game.

Apparently, Hernández isn’t finished etching his name into Dodgers postseason lore. The 35-year-old veteran took Atlanta ace Chris Sale deep in the fourth inning to break up a scoreless stalemate. It was his first round-tripper of the playoffs and 17th career home run across 105 career postseason contests.

Hernández’ home run was his fourth of the season. No longer a regular for the Dodgers, Hernández has 16 home runs and a .486 SLG in 103 career postseason games. It wouldn’t surprise anyone if he has another clutch hit for the Dodgers next month.

Hernández’s homer off Tony Santillan was his third in 30 games this season. He knocked in four runs for the first time since way back on July 23, 2020, when he had his only ever five-RBI game against the Giants.

Hernández hasn’t started against a righty this month and has been on the bench against some lefties, but he’s made good use of his limited playing time by going 8-for-32 with two homers and two doubles. He still probably won’t get any starts this weekend against the Pirates.

Hernández returns to Los Angeles’ active roster in his usual multi-positional capacity for Tuesday’s series opener against the Mariners. The versatile 34-year-old wound up missing nine weeks with an oblique strain that he suffered back in late May.

The 34-year-old utilityman has bene shelved since late May when he suffered an oblique strain in his first game back off of the injured list. He’ll add depth to the Dodgers’ bench, but isn’t likely to hold any sort of fantasy value upon his return.

Hernández played six innings at third base and recorded a double in his first rehab contest. The versatile 34-year-old role player shouldn’t need too much additional time in the minors getting back up to speed before he returns to Los Angeles. He played just one game in his return from offseason elbow surgery before suffering a left oblique strain in late May. There’s a chance he’s activated at some point this weekend.

Hernández only played a game and change after coming off the injured list in late May from a surgically repaired elbow. The versatile utility man figures to have little fantasy value, but will be a boost for the Dodgers if he can get back on the field.

It’s a brutal development for Hernández as he winds up back on the shelf after just two games back with the Dodgers following offseason elbow surgery. The versatile 34-year-old underwent an MRI that revealed a significant tear in his oblique muscle that figures to sideline him for at least a couple months.

Alex Freeland is coming back up to join the Dodgers. Hernández made it through just 1 1/2 games after missing the first two months following elbow surgery, but that’s fine... he’s really just here for October.

Hernández was 2-for-2 with his first home run of the season prior to leaving the contest. The versatile 34-year-old is a virtual lock to hit the injured list after just two games back with the Dodgers following offseason elbow surgery.

Hernández’s double down the left field line gave the Dodgers their only run until the seventh, when they came up with their remaining four. Hernández will likely start again Tuesday against Rockies lefty Kyle Freeland before taking a seat Wednesday, assuming Max Muncy’s wrist is feeling better by then.

Hernández returns for Monday’s series opener against the Rockies after missing the first eight weeks of the season recovering from last year’s elbow issues. The 34-year-old offers a ton of defensive versatility in a bench role, but he can be safely ignored in all fantasy formats.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts announced that he’ll play third base against the Rockies against southpaw Kyle Freeland. Hernández has been out for all of 2026 while recovering from the elbow injury he suffered back in 2025. The 34-year-old is a versatile option who can play in the infield and outfield, and will see some playing time against southpaw pitchers.

Hernández will need a bit of an extended rehab assignment since he’s been on the shelf recovering from last year’s elbow issue since spring training wrapped up. The 34-year-old super-utility specialist should be ready to make his season debut before the end of May.

Hernández has been on the shelf since spring training recovering from an elbow issue that bothered him throughout most of last year. The 34-year-old should be ready to make his season debut sometime around mid-to-late May.

As expected, Hernández will miss the start of the season with his elbow injury, although the Dodgers didn’t disclose the specifics of the knock. The 34-year-old will be eligible to return off the injured list near the end of April, but there’s no guarantee he’ll be ready.

It seemed like an inevitability that Hernández would once again wind up back with the Dodgers. The 34-year-old utilityman is set to serve in his customary bench role and will be deployed primarily against left-handed pitchers. He can be ignored for fantasy purposes.
