Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (ankle) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Chicago Cubs. This is good news after Hernandez missed four games due to an ankle issue. It was uncertain if he was truly day-to-day or going to be placed on the injured list. Hernandez appears good to go and he'll cover left field and bat cleanup against Cubs left-hander Jordan Wicks. Hernandez is crushing lefties to the tune of a .299 batting average with 10 home runs and 26 RBI this season. Fantasy managers should make sure to get him back in their lineups ahead of Wednesday's contest.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (ankle) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Chicago Cubs. This marks the fourth game in a row that Hernandez has missed after getting hit by a pitch on the ankle last Friday. The Dodgers haven't placed Hernandez on the injured list yet, but that news could be coming. For now, fantasy managers can consider Hernandez as day-to-day, but they should get a backup plan prepared. Andy Pages will cover left field and bat fifth against left-hander Shota Imanaga. The 23-year-old has been decent with a .243 batting average with 10 home runs and 39 RBI in 104 games this season. However, Pages isn't an ideal fantasy option against a tough southpaw in Imanaga.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (ankle) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Hernandez has been sidelined since exiting early during Friday's contest due to an ankle injury. The X-rays came back negative, so the team is calling it a left ankle contusion. The hope is that Hernandez can return within the next day or two. In the meantime, Chris Taylor will play left field and bat ninth against right-hander Kyle Hendricks on Monday. Taylor has been struggling this season and is hitting under .200 currently, so there should be better streaming options available.UPDATE: Manager Dave Roberts said the team is hopeful of having Hernandez back in the lineup on Tuesday, but they'll see how he feels then.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (foot) said on Saturday that scans came back clean on his foot. He also stated he was feeling much better today and is hopeful he can return by Monday or Tuesday for the Dodgers' series against the Chicago Cubs. Hernandez left Friday night's game after being hit by a pitch. Initially it sounded like he wasn't doing great, according to manager Dave Roberts, so getting this news and avoiding the 10-day IL as initially expected is great news to hear. The 31-year-old has been very consistent for the Dodgers, hitting for a 130 OPS+ in 2024. His bat will certainly be missed in an important series against the Cleveland Guardians. Andy Pages is starting in left field for the Dodgers Saturday night in Hernandez's absence and should be expected to get starts that Hernandez will miss.

Updating a previous report, Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (foot) is "not doing great" after leaving Friday night's game at Dodger Stadium against the Cleveland Guardians when he was hit on the left foot by a pitch. X-rays on Hernandez's left foot came back negative, but Roberts said he thinks the outfielder will be going on the 10-day injured list. The 31-year-old was hit by a pitch in the first inning and was replaced by pinch-runner Chris Taylor, who also replaced him in left field. The main priority for the Dodgers at this point will be to get Hernandez healthy for a deep playoff run in October. Taylor should see an increase in playing time with Hernandez hurt, but the Dodgers could also use Kevin Kiermaier or rookie Andy Pages in left field. Hernandez is having an excellent first year in LA but may not be able to help fantasy managers much the rest of the way.UPDATE: Hernandez was in a walking boot when he left the stadium. Roberts said the concern level on Hernandez's injury is "high."

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (ankle) was forced from Friday night's contest early at Dodger Stadium in the first inning against the visiting Cleveland Guardians when he was hit by a pitch on his left ankle. Hernandez appeared to be in a lot of pain and limped to first base before being replaced by pinch-runner Chris Taylor, who also replaced Hernandez in left field. The Dodgers announced that Hernandez left with a left-foot contusion, which implies that it's not a serious injury, although he's likely to undergo further testing. For now, fantasy managers should consider the 31-year-old to be day-to-day, but check back for further updates. Hernandez entered Friday's game with 28 homers, 87 RBI, 10 steals and a .266/.330/.488 slash line with an .818 OPS, so the Dodgers can ill-afford to lose him for any stretch of time as the playoffs near.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez continued his hot streak with a 2-for-4 performance in Tuesday's loss versus the Philadelphia Phillies. One of his two hits was a home run, his third over his last five games. The veteran didn't receive much interest as a free agent this offseason and the Dodgers gladly scooped him up on a one-year deal, making many teams regret not going after the outfielder. Hitting in the middle of one of the best lineups in the league, Hernandez is now batting .269 with 25 home runs, 74 RBI and five stolen bases. He has shown no signs of slowing down and managers should continue to deploy Hernandez on a daily basis.

Hernandez hit a solo home run, his 21st of the season and added two more RBI in the game to give him three on the evening. The 31-year-old was a free agent this past offseason and wound up signing a one-year deal with Dodgers after being disappointed with other offers from clubs. Those teams must be regretting not bidding more as Hernandez has blown up his value with a huge season thus far. On the season, Hernandez is now hitting .268 with 21 homers and 67 RBI. He remains a great option for managers as he hits in the middle of one of the best lineups in all of baseball.

Hernandez has provided power from a fantasy perspective throughout his career and is on an excellent pace this season, slashing .261/.327/.475 with 19 HR, 48 runs scored, 62 RBI, and four stolen bases in 402 plate appearances. He should have plenty of opportunities to provide more counting stats in the second half of the season while hitting in the middle of one of baseball's best lineups.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez is back in left field and will bat second on Wednesday in Chicago against the White Sox and right-hander Erick Fedde. Hernandez left the team briefly to take care of a personal matter in the Dominican Republic and missed the first two games of the series in the Windy City, but he's back now and should be returned to all starting fantasy lineups amid an excellent first season in Hollywood. He has also homered twice with three RBI in his four career at-bats against Fedde, so the matchup is an excellent one for DFS managers. The 31-year-old right-handed slugger had a down year in 2023 with the Seattle Mariners and had a career-high 211 strikeouts, but he's bounced back in a big way and has been ultra-productive in a potent Dodgers lineup by hitting .254 (77-for-303) with 18 homers, 54 RBI and 43 runs scored in 79 games.

With Hernandez out of action for a second straight day, Miguel Vargas will draw into the lineup in left field and bat eighth against White Sox right-hander Chris Flexen. The 31-year-old Hernandez has been extremely productive in the middle of a powerhouse Dodgers lineup in his first year in LA and is a must-start in fantasy when he's active. He's currently batting .254/.321/.492 with an .813 OPS, 18 long balls, 16 doubles, a triple, 54 RBI and four steals in 79 games.

There is no injury being reported, so it's assumed that this is a routine rest day for Hernandez. It is a bit odd to see Hernandez getting a day off against a left-handed starting pitcher. Regardless, Hernandez will sit out with Jason Heyward and Miguel Vargas covering the corner outfield spots on Monday.UPDATE: Hernandez is in the Dominican Republic for personal reasons and is expected to rejoin the team in Chicago on Tuesday.

Hernandez went 1-for-3 with a walk and two-run homer on the evening. The home run would be his 17th of the year to go along with his 50th RBI and a solid .266 batting average. The 31-year-old was a huge bargain for the Dodgers this offseason as he signed a one-year contract. Hernandez hit a career-high 32 homers in 2021 with the Toronto Blue Jays and he could surpass that with the way he his hitting this season. Entrenched in the No. 5 spot of the order, Hernandez remains a great option for managers moving forward.

Hernandez added three runs and an RBI to round out his line. It was good to see the 31-year-old get back on track in June after going 0-for-13 in his last three games. These streaks tend to happen for Teoscar, but in the end he always seems to end up with a decent average, solid run and RBI totals, and 25-30 homers. He's on pace to do just that again this year, and that makes him a solid fantasy asset.

The 31-year-old is having a strong month of May, hitting five home runs already after collecting just three the entire month of April. With 33 RBI, 27 runs scored, and three stolen bases on the season, the veteran has been one of the top fantasy producers so far in 2024.
