(Update: The Dodgers announced that they have recalled OF James Outman and placed OF Teoscar Herńandez on the injury list with a left groin strain. An MRI showed that Hernandez has a Grade 1 groin strain. "Obviously, he's going to be inactive for a while. I don't really know a timetable," Roberts said.)
Dodgers slugger Teoscar Hernández exited Tuesday’s game early with what the team later diagnosed as left hamstring tightness. Chris Taylor replaced Hernandez to start the bottom of the fourth inning after going 2-for-2 with an RBI double, continuing his red-hot start to the season.
Following the win, manager Dave Roberts expressed concern over the injury, revealing Hernández is scheduled for an MRI to evaluate the extent of the issue.
“He’s going to get an MRI tomorrow. I got word that it was tight in the hamstring, adductor,” Roberts told reporters. “He’s a guy that just doesn’t come out of games by way of injury, so that’s a little concerning given the person.”
With Hernández leading the league in RBI (34) and boasting a .933 OPS, any absence would be a significant blow to the Dodgers' offense. Given the delicate nature of hamstring injuries, it would not be a surprise if the team places him on the 10-day injured list as a precaution.
The Dodgers will await MRI results before determining next steps for one of their most productive bats.
Injuries continue to reshape lineups and rotations across the league as teams battle through the early stretch of the 2025 season.
