Teoscar Hernandez Hoping to Return to Dodgers on June 29
Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said on Sunday that outfielder Teoscar Hernandez's (hamstring) minor-league rehab assignment will be with Triple-A Oklahoma City and that the hope is he will return for a series in Sacramento against the Athletics, starting on Monday, June 29, according to Sonja Chen of MLB.com. Hernandez should be cleared to begin a rehab assignment this week at OKC after taking live batting practice the last few days. The 33-year-old veteran right-handed slugger has been sidelined with a Grade 1 hamstring strain since late, May, but barring a setback on his rehab assignment this week and weekend, he could be ready to go to begin next week. The Dominican outfielder could be eased back into the Dodgers' starting lineup next week, but he's an everyday player for the team when he's fully healthy. Hernandez was hitting a strong .276/.348/.436 with a .785 OPS, seven home runs, 31 RBI, 30 runs, and two steals in 181 at-bats before tweaking his hamstring. The two-time All-Star has at least 25 home runs in each of his last five seasons, dating back to 2021 with the Toronto Blue Jays.
