The Los Angeles Dodgers may have dodged losing another player to injury. Outfielder Teoscar Hernández exited Friday’s game after being hit by a pitch in the first inning. Hernández is hopeful to return to the lineup by Monday or Tuesday if the pain subsides.
Manager Dave Roberts expressed concern about Hernández’s injury and mentioned that he could barely move his foot. The team will monitor his progress over the next few days before making a decision.
Despite the setback, Hernández has been a key player for the Dodgers this season, hitting .266 with 28 home runs. His absence will provide opportunities for other players to step up in the outfield.
With the regular season winding down, the Dodgers are in a good position to make the postseason. However, they will need to stay competitive in the tough NL West division.
