Dodgers activate Teoscar Hernández on Monday

Player Stats

Dodgers activated OF Teoscar Hernández from the 10-day injured list.

Hernández returns to Los Angeles’ lineup following a nearly five-week absence recovering from a hamstring strain. He’s back in left field and hitting fifth against the Athletics on Monday night at Dodger Stadium. The 33-year-old veteran slugger homered in three of his four minor league rehab contests for Triple-A Oklahoma City. He’s cobbled together a pedestrian year at the dish by his typical standards, slashing .276/.348/.436 with seven homers, 31 RBI and two steals in 204 plate appearances through 51 games. However, his return adds some much-needed over-the-fence pop for the Dodgers as they approach the All-Star break.

Teoscar Hernández hit a grand slam off Adrian Morejon in the seventh to provide all of the Dodgers’ scoring Friday in a 4-3 win over the Padres.

Michael King allowed Mookie Betts and Max Muncy to reach to start the seventh in a 3-0 game, resulting in Morejon’s entrance. Jake Cronenworth then botched a potential double play, loading the bases with no outs, and Hernández hit the next pitch 419 feet. Hernández has started four out of five games since coming off the IL and gone 3-for-16 with a couple of walks. The slam tonight was his first since 2024 and sixth of his career.

Teoscar Hernández is out of the lineup for Wednesday’s series finale against the Athletics.

Tommy Edman gets the nod in left field in his place. Hernández has gone 2-for-8 with an RBI in a pair of games since returning from the injured list earlier this week. The 33-year-old veteran slugger will likely need to produce in the next few months to keep his spot with Los Angeles moving forward since they have a couple talented outfield prospects nearing the majors including phenom Josue De Paula and on-base machine Mike Sirota. They also have James Tibbs III tearing the cover off the ball at Triple-A.

Teoscar Hernández is due to come off the injured list on Monday, said Dodgers manager Dave Roberts.

The plan appears to be for him to get regular days off initially. There was some thought of Hernández returning this weekend, but the Dodgers will hold off until the series in Sacramento. Ryan Ward figures to lose his spot when Hernández is activated, and Tommy Edman will begin playing more second base at Alex Freeland’s expense.

Teoscar Hernández (hamstring) blasted a two-run homer on Friday in a minor league rehab game for Triple-A Oklahoma City.

The probability feels extremely high that Hernández will be activated from the injured list at some point this weekend or early next week. The 33-year-old veteran slugger went deep for the third consecutive rehab contest on Friday evening while playing six innings in left field. The original expectation was that he would be ready for Monday’s series opener against the Athletics, but he could potentially make it back for the final two games of their current series against the division-rival Padres.

Teoscar Hernández (hamstring) went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.

It was Hernández’s first rehab game since going on the injured list on May 29th. He’ll likely take the rest of the week to get his at-bats in and then should return to the Dodgers lineup. That will push Ryan Ward back to the bench or the minors.

Teoscar Hernández (hamstring) will start a minor league rehab assignment on Tuesday with Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters they’re optimistic Hernández will be ready for their series opener against the Athletics on June 29. The 33-year-old veteran slugger will get a few rehab contests under his belt before returning. He’s been on the shelf recovering from a low-grade hamstring strain since late May.

Teoscar Hernández (hamstring) is expected to begin a minor league rehab assignment at Triple-A Oklahoma City next week.

The 33-year-old slugger made it through a live batting practice session on Thursday without any issues and is creeping closer to a return. He has been shelved since May 30 due to a Grade 1 hamstring strain.

Dodgers’ manager Dave Roberts said that Teoscar Hernández (hamstring) is set to take live batting practice on Thursday.

The outfielder has been sidelined since May 28th with a hamstring strain. If his live batting practice goes well, he should begin a short rehab stint next week. That means that Ryan Ward may only have a little more than one week as a starting outfielder for the Dodgers.

Teoscar Hernández (hamstring) could begin a minor league rehab assignment later this week.

Hernández has been working his way back from a Grade 1 hamstring strain that sent him to the injured list back on May 30. There’s a chance he’s ready to return to game action later this week, which would put him on track to return to Los Angeles by the end of June.

Teoscar Hernández has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 left hamstring strain.

It’s the best-case scenario for the Dodgers and fantasy managers as Hernández is likely to only miss a couple weeks. Los Angeles opted to bring up Ryan Ward, who is finally getting a real opportunity at the highest level after years at Triple-A, as a short-term stopgap. It sounds like they considered bringing up red-hot prospect James Tibbs III, but he’s been dealing with a forearm issues that has limited him to DH exclusively of late. His opportunity figures to come later this summer.

Josh Jung was scratched from the Rangers’ starting lineup on Sunday due to right knee soreness.

Jung was going to try to give it a go but tested his knee out on the field before the game and ultimately the decision was made to give him the afternoon off. It’s possible that he could be available in a pinch-hit situation. Ezequiel Duran will cover third base in his absence and bat cleanup against Tigers’ right-hander Casey Mize.

Dominic Canzone is not in the Mariners’ starting lineup for Sunday’s matinee against the Blue Jays.

Canzone homered and drove in three runs on Saturday night, so the timing off the off day is a bit curious, though the Mariners are likely just trying to keep him fresh. Cal Raleigh will function as the team’s designated hitter in his place while Mitch Garver draws his first start of the week behind the dish and will bat seventh for the M’s against Trey Yesavage and the Blue Jays.

Liam Hicks will cover first base for the Marlins while Brian Navarreto draws a rare start behind the dish and will bat ninth for the Marlins.

Byron Buxton was removed from Sunday’s game against the Yankees after aggravating his prior hip injury.

Buxton singled in the first inning and was caught trying to steal second base, which appears to have been where he sustained the injury. Hopefully it’s just a minor issue and the Twins are being cautious here, but with Buxton’s extensive injury history you just can’t rule out the chances of him heading to the injured list. Fantasy managers should have an alternative option in place for next week in the event that the dynamic 32-year-old outfielder is forced to miss some time.

William Contreras is absent from the Brewers’ starting lineup for Sunday afternoon’s ballgame against the Rockies at Coors Field.

Since he shoulders a very heavy workload for a catcher, the Brewers are careful to mix in off days for Contreras to get him off of his feet once in a while, with Sunday afternoon games being the most common. Gary Sanchez will start in his place behind the dish and bat seventh against Diamondbacks’ southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez.
