Hernandez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's loss to Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez concluded the scoring in the contest with a solo shot to left field in the eighth inning. The utility man has taken on a prominent role in the Dodgers' lineup of late, as he's been starting at first base while Freddie Freeman has been on the injured list due to an ankle injury. Hernandez is batting a meager .111 on the season, but all four of his hits have left the park, and that has allowed him to rack up a healthy seven RBI over 39 plate appearances.

Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez gave the Dodgers a 2-1 lead with a two-run shot off Aaron Nola in the second inning. The 33-year-old is just 3-for-26 on the season, but all three hits have been home runs. He's started five straight games at first base since Freddie Freeman (ankle) was placed on the injured list, though he's unlikely to remain a factor upon Freeman's return.

Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run against Atlanta in a 6-1 victory Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Freddie Freeman missed the game due to an ankle injury, giving Hernandez an opportunity to start at first base. The latter took advantage of the playing time, belting a solo blast to left field in the sixth inning. If Freeman misses additional time, Hernandez could be in line for more starts. He's gone just 2-for-12 at the plate so far this season, but both of his hits have been homers.

Hernandez will start at first base and bat eighth Monday against Atlanta, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez is in line for his first start since the Tokyo Series against the Cubs, and it'll come as a result of an ankle injury to Freddie Freeman. Hernandez figures to be the likely candidate to fill in at first base until Freeman is cleared for play, though given the Dodgers' extensive depth, Muncy could also get a look at first, meaning Hernandez or Chris Taylor would presumably bump over to the hot corner.

Hernandez (illness) is not in the Dodgers' starting lineup but is available off the bench for Saturday's game against Detroit, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez didn't play in the first two games of the series while battling the flu. It appears the utility man has recovered from the ailment and will be available out of the dugout for Saturday's finale.

Hernandez (illness) won't start but could be available off the bench Friday against the Tigers, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez is dealing with the flu and was not at the ballpark for Thursday's domestic home opener against the Tigers. His exact availability remains to be seen, though it sounds as if he is nearing a return to the club.

Hernandez is not expected to be available for the Dodgers' domestic opener Thursday against the Tigers due to the flu, Buster Olney of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez is not in the lineup versus lefty Tarik Skubal, and it sounds like he probably won't be available off the bench, either. Consider the utility player day-to-day.

Hernandez went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a sacrifice fly during Wednesday's 6-3 win against the Cubs in Tokyo.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez doubled Los Angeles' lead to 2-0 during the second inning with a sacrifice fly and provided some insurance runs with a two-run blast off Justin Steele in the fourth. The super-utility man started both games at first base in Tokyo with Freddie Freeman (ribs) banged up, but Hernandez is likely to be more of a semi-regular presence in the lineup when the Dodgers are at full strength.

Hernandez will start in left field and bat sixth in Tuesday's regular-season opener against the Cubs in Tokyo.

EDGE Analysis

The beloved clubhouse presence and valued utility man returned to the Dodgers on a one-year deal in February, and he is in the lineup for the opener with lefty Shota Imanaga on the mound for Chicago. Hernandez has a career .789 OPS against left-handed pitching compared to a career .664 OPS against right-handed pitching. With that, the 33-year-old is expected to remain limited to short-side duty for the most part throughout 2025.

Hernandez agreed to a one-year with the Dodgers on Sunday, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez will return to fill a super-utility role with the Dodgers, and it is unlikely he secures regular work on such a loaded roster. He slashed .229/.281/.373 with 12 home runs, 44 runs and 42 RBI in 393 plate appearances during the 2024 regular season and carries third base and outfield eligibility in most fantasy formats.
