Overview

  • Teoscar Hernández pulled up trying to leg out an infield single and exited in the second inning of Wednesday’s win over the Rockies, and the Dodgers announced he will be placed on the injured list with a left hamstring issue.
  • Manager Dave Roberts said the club will get a scan to assess the severity and recovery timetable and described a minimum absence of a few weeks pending the imaging results.
  • The Dodgers recalled 28-year-old Ryan Ward from Triple-A as the corresponding roster move; Ward has two career MLB games and is hitting .254/.379/.418 with six homers in 47 Triple-A games this season.
  • Los Angeles’s outfield depth is strained because Enrique (Kiké) Hernández was placed on the IL earlier Wednesday with a left oblique strain and an MRI showing a significant tear that likely keeps him out until the second half.
  • Hernández had been a key offensive contributor this year, hitting .276/.348/.436 with seven home runs in 51 games, so his absence will force lineup shifts and is a near-term challenge for a club that had been riding a five-game win streak.
