"Kiké Hernández was placed on the 10-day injured list due to left elbow inflammation, which has hindered his batting despite not affecting his defense."
"Hernández sustained the injury during a game against the Cleveland Guardians on a slide into home plate. He has only eight hits in his last 59 at-bats since."
"Following an MRI and a cortisone injection, the expectation is that Hernández will be ready to return shortly after the All-Star break."
"Injuries have heavily impacted the Dodgers, especially affecting pitchers early in the season, with multiple players facing issues in recent weeks."
Kiké Hernández has been placed on the 10-day injured list retroactive to July 6 because of left elbow inflammation. He has been managing this issue for the past month, initially concealing it to continue playing. The injury was incurred on an awkward slide during a game against the Cleveland Guardians in late May. An MRI revealed inflammation, and Hernández received a cortisone injection. Manager Dave Roberts expects him to return shortly after the All-Star break. The injury has affected his batting, with only eight hits in his last 59 at-bats. James Outman was recalled from Triple-A as a corresponding move to Hernández's injury.
