Enrique Hernandez Starting For The Dodgers Wednesday
10 months agoLos Angeles Dodgers utility player Enrique Hernandez is starting at second base and hitting sixth Wednesday afternoon against the Blue Jays and left-hander Yusei Kikuchi. The Dodgers brought the versatile Hernandez back in a trade with the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday and will immediately plug him into the starting lineup against a left-handed pitcher. The 31-year-old has been one of the worst hitters in baseball this season as he's hitting just .222 with six homers, three steals, and a .599 OPS in 86 games while his 60 wRC+ ranks 142nd of 143 qualified hitters. However, he provided the Dodgers with some pop and defensive versatility for parts of seven seasons, specializing in clobbering left-handed pitching.
