""Teo is a guy that we counted on a lot last year in the biggest of moments," Roberts said. "He's a guy that I really admire, because he can balance the fun part of baseball but also have that edge. And I think we've lost a little bit of that edge over the last couple months. So I think, for me, I want to see that edge, that fight, that fire, and I'll bet on any result. And so that's for me, it's like, I just want to see that. We're past the mechanics part of it, and let's just get into the fight. And I've seen it, and I believe that's what's to come in the next month and beyond.""
""Maybe," he said. "We've had numerous conversations. So we're in a good spot. We're aligned. He knows his value for our ballclub. He knows my expectations of him individually. So we're in lockstep.""
The Los Angeles Dodgers have experienced stretches of inconsistency this season, with injuries contributing to uneven on-field results. Manager Dave Roberts singled out right fielder Teoscar Hernández as a player who can deliver more production. Roberts emphasized Hernández's ability to balance enjoyment with an aggressive edge and urged a return to fight and intensity rather than mechanical adjustments. Hernández is hitting .247 with a .734 OPS and has batted .171 over his last 10 games. The Dodgers went 4-6 during that stretch and have 24 games remaining, increasing urgency for improved contribution.
