"Speaking of last season, he actually had one of the worst years of his career, posting a .203/.255/.366/.621 line with a 72 OPS+ while also missing time due to a left elbow injury. Historically, he's been a lefty killer, but hasn't had an OPS over .700 against them since 2022. But most importantly, as we all know, he came up with big moments in the playoffs again."
"His career .272/.339/.486/.826 line in the playoffs will earn him a roster spot, and he was well on his way to another stellar playoff campaign last year before he aggravated the aforementioned left elbow injury that would later require surgery. Remarkably, it seems like no matter how he performs during the regular season, he steps it up in the playoffs and ends up playing a key role for the Dodgers. They're betting on him doing it yet again."
Enrique Hernández re-signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers on a one-year, $4.5 million deal. He produced a .203/.255/.366/.621 line with a 72 OPS+ in 2025 and missed time due to a left elbow injury that later required surgery. He covered five defensive positions, served as a DH, and pitched in relief, providing roster flexibility. His career playoff line of .272/.339/.486/.826 and repeated postseason clutch moments underpin his roster value. The Dodgers may use the 60-day IL to clear a 40-man spot while relying on his versatility and playoff performance for 2026.
