"It's a moment that I'll never forget. I'm still bummed that I don't get to be a part of it, but I still support my people."
"The guys that are on the roster are the guys that have to get the job done. They did enough to advance to the quarterfinals. Obviously, you're playing one game where anything can happen. The only thing that wins on paper is Vegas."
"The 34-year-old is still trying to work his way back onto the field. Hernández said he's 'starting to move along really rapidly' with his rehab from offseason surgery."
Kike Hernandez underwent elbow surgery during the offseason, preventing him from competing in the World Baseball Classic with Puerto Rico. Despite his disappointment at missing the opportunity to play in front of home fans during pool play in Puerto Rico, Hernandez attended the first two games as a clubhouse supporter before returning to Dodgers spring training in Arizona. His recovery has progressed well enough to allow him to rejoin Puerto Rico for their quarterfinal game against Italy in Texas. Hernandez requires permission from Dodgers president Andrew Friedman to participate in further tournament games, with approval likelihood depending on his rehabilitation progress.
