Kiké Hernandez, a utility man for the Dodgers, is trying to recover from a sprained left elbow after being placed on the injured list in July. Despite expectations for a quick return after the All-Star Break, he hasn't resumed baseball activities. Manager Dave Roberts stated that Hernandez had undergone non-surgical procedures to hasten recovery. The team has limited depth due to other injuries and acquired outfielder Alex Call. Hernandez's versatility allows him to play various positions, but injuries have disrupted previous plans for the team.
Hernandez was sidelined by a sprained left elbow and was placed on the injured list in July. He had been dealing with elbow issues for over a month.
Roberts revealed the latest update on Hernandez, saying he had 'a couple little (non-surgical) procedures ... just trying to move things along.' Hernandez is expected to return at some point this season.
The utility man has played in the outfield, infield and has pitched in relief for the Dodgers this season, demonstrating his versatility.
When Muncy landed on the IL at the beginning of July with a knee injury, the Dodgers planned on splitting starts between Hernandez and Miguel Rojas, but those plans changed.
