Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts recently addressed the absence of outfielder Teoscar Hernandez from the lineup against the Colorado Rockies. In a pre-game press conference, Roberts explained that Hernandez is dealing with a minor injury concern, describing it as “just a little nagging soreness” that the team wants to manage carefully to avoid further aggravation.
Hernandez, a key contributor to the Dodgers’ offense this season, has been a consistent presence in the outfield, making his absence notable. Roberts emphasized a cautious approach, stating, “We just felt it was best to give him a couple of days to let it calm down.” The decision reflects the team’s focus on preserving player health with the postseason in sight.
The Dodgers are expected to adjust their lineup accordingly, with Roberts hinting at increased opportunities for other outfielders to step up. Hernandez is likely to return to action soon, pending further evaluation.
Stay tuned for updates on Hernandez’s status as the Dodgers continue their series against the Rockies.
