"Roberts said Hernandez is healthy, and the extra few days they got off after their NLDS win helped him recover. Hernandez limped around in the box in the 11th inning of Game 4 against the Philadelphia Phillies. Hernandez has played in every game this postseason, and has been a key contributor on both offense and defense. Hernandez is 7-for-22 at the plate for a .318 average, and has an OPS of .809."
"President of baseball operations Andrew Friedman spoke about Hernandez and the important role he plays ahead of the postseason. "I think we've all seen the level of focus and energy that Kiké brings, especially in October, big factor in wanting to bring him back this offseason," Friedman said. "He's had a good little run here lately and feels like his swing's in a better spot.""
Roberts said Hernandez is healthy and the extra days off after the NLDS helped his recovery. Hernandez limped in the 11th inning of Game 4 against the Phillies but has played in every postseason game except one hitless outing. He is 7-for-22 (.318) with a .809 OPS and has recorded hits in all but one game. Hernandez left Game 1 of the Wild Card series with an apparent back injury earlier in the postseason. The Dodgers may give him extra rest if his condition worsens, likely replacing him with Max Muncy at third and Alex Call in left. Andrew Friedman praised Hernandez's focus, energy, improved swing and defensive value.
