Enrique Hernandez Undergoes Double-Hernia Surgery
1 year agoFree-agent utility man Enrique Hernandez (hernia) underwent double-hernia surgery on Oct. 24 and is expected to resume baseball activities in three to four weeks. His condition helps explain why he wasn't the same both offensively and defensively for the Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers in 2023. Hernandez's surgery was performed by Dr. William Meyers in Philadelphia. In 140 total games (86 with Boston), he hit .237/.289/.357 with 11 home runs, 23 doubles, 61 RBI, four stolen bases and 57 runs scored in 508 trips to the plate. The 32-year-old's surgery could make teams hesitant to bring him aboard on a free-agent deal this offseason, so the veteran infielder/outfielder might wait until the calendar flips to 2024 to find a new team.
