Teoscar Hernández was placed on the injured list with a left groin strain after injuring himself chasing a fly ball. Manager Dave Roberts expressed concern as Hernández typically does not leave games due to injury. Batting .315 with nine home runs and 34 RBIs, he was a key offensive player for the Dodgers. James Outman was called up to replace him. The Dodgers are already missing Tommy Edman due to an ankle injury, compounding their challenges as they look to maintain performance amidst personnel changes.
"He's a guy that just doesn't come out of games by way of injury, that's a little concerning given the person." - Manager Dave Roberts discussing the impact of Teoscar Hernández's injury.
With a .315 batting average and 34 RBIs in just 33 games, Hernández was a major asset, now the Dodgers will seek to fill his absence.
After re-signing with the Dodgers for three years and $66 million, Hernández proved to be a key run producer before his injury.
James Outman, called up from triple-A, is expected to fill the role left by Hernández as the Dodgers adapt to their injury challenges.
