Kiké Hernandez, a utility player for the Los Angeles Dodgers, has been placed on the injured list because of left elbow inflammation. Hernandez disclosed that he had been managing the injury for over a month without informing the team's management. An MRI showed significant inflammation in his elbow, leading to a cortisone injection for pain relief. He is expected to return shortly after the All-Star break. His performance this season has been below average, hitting only .195 with eight home runs and a low OPS, particularly struggling against left-handed pitchers.
