Teoscar Hernandez Could Go on a Rehab Assignment This Weekend
Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said on Monday that outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (hamstring) could start a minor-league rehab assignment this weekend if his recovery continues to go well over the coming days, according to Jack Harris of The California Post. Hernandez said that his left hamstring is improving and that it's a "big week" of baseball activities for the first time since he went on the 10-day injured list. The 33-year-old Dominican veteran was placed on the IL in late May with a Grade 1 left-hamstring strain, but if everything goes well this week and he avoids a setback on his rehab assignment, Hernandez could rejoin the Dodgers' roster at some point next week. The two-time All-Star was hitting at a strong .276/.348/.436 clip with a .785 OPS, seven home runs, 31 RBI, 30 runs scored, and two stolen bases in 51 games across 204 plate appearances for the Blue before landing on the shelf. Hernandez is a great fantasy asset in points leagues in the heart of the Dodgers' stacked lineup when he's healthy, and he's rostered in 86% of Yahoo leagues despite his nearly month-long absence.
