On Oct. 19, 2017, Kiké Hernández had the game of his life for the Los Angeles Dodgers against the Chicago Cubs in Game 5 of the National League Championship Series. Hernández's remarkable performance helped the Dodgers advance to their first World Series in 29 years. The Dodgers did not waste any time getting on the scoreboard in their clinching game, and Hernández was a big reason for that.

Los Angeles Dodgers utility star Kiké Hernandez was forced to exit Tuesday's 10-5 win over the Cincinnati Reds early due to back tightness. Hernandez was 2-for-3 before being replaced in the bottom of the sixth inning by Alex Call. After the game, manager Dave Roberts confirmed the injury, but said Hernandez would be good to go for Wednesday's Game 2. "He's playing tomorrow," Roberts said. "He has some back tightness. Just trying to take care in this particular game, getting him ready for tomorrow and beyond. But he'll be in there tomorrow."

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.
