Dodgers activate – Dodgers manager Dave Roberts says Los Angeles will activate Teoscar Hernández from the injured list on Monday, after the Dominican outfielder rehabbed a left hamstring strain and delivered three straight home runs for Triple-A Oklahoma City. The two-time All-S
For the first time in a month, Teoscar Hernández’s absence won’t be the story around the Dodgers.
Dave Roberts said the team intends to activate the Dominican outfielder from the injured list on Monday. Hernández has been sidelined with a left hamstring strain since late May, but he has looked “just fine” during his rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City.
What Los Angeles has seen during that rehab has been loud. Hernández has punished the baseball, hitting a home run in each of his three starts for the Comets. With the Dodgers sitting in first place and carrying MLB’s best record at the midway point of the season. they also hold an eight-game cushion in the National League West. This is the kind of timing that changes the shape of a lineup when you’re already cruising.
By Monday, that wait ends. Hernández is set to rejoin the big-league club for its upcoming series against the Athletics.
The sequence is simple: a left hamstring strain that began in late May kept Hernández off the active roster for more than a month. rehab work in Oklahoma City appeared to clear the concerns. and three straight home runs in his rehab starts gave the Dodgers the final reassurance they wanted before the activation.
