""It's a big step," Roberts said. "He and Tommy (Edman) both look good. I don't know when Kike comes off, but I'd be shocked if he wasn't ready when that time is up.""
""But taking grounders, the way he's moving, the way he's throwing, catching it, the swing, the ball coming off the bat, all that stuff. If I didn't know any better, I would think he was in the lineup tonight.""
""Despite the Dodgers posting a more cautious return time, Hernández previously expressed he would miss about two months of the season.""
Kiké Hernández started the season on the 60-day injured list due to left elbow surgery. He has shown significant improvement, with Dodgers manager Dave Roberts optimistic about his return. Hernández was placed on the IL on February 21, with April 22 as the earliest activation date. Initially expected to return midseason, his recovery is ahead of schedule. He re-signed with the Dodgers for the 2026 season and played 92 games last season, contributing significantly despite his injury.
