Overview

  • Teoscar Hernández, the Dodgers' top hitter, was placed on the 10-day injured list after suffering a Grade 1 adductor strain during Monday's game against the Marlins.
  • Manager Dave Roberts expressed concern about the injury, which is expected to sideline Hernández for several weeks, though no specific return date has been set.
  • Hernández has been a key offensive force, leading MLB with 34 RBIs and batting .315 with nine home runs in 33 games this season.
  • James Outman has been recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City to fill Hernández's roster spot, but his high strikeout rate raises concerns about his ability to replace Hernández's production.
  • The Dodgers are exploring internal platoon options and potential trade targets, including Adolis Garcia, to address the lineup gap caused by injuries to Hernández and Tommy Edman.
