Dodgers Make Move After Teoscar Hernandez Injury News
Dodgers Make Move After Teoscar Hernandez Injury News originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Outfielder Teoscar Hernandez is in his tenth major-league season and second with the Los Angeles Dodgers. After signing a one-year deal with Los Angeles in 2024, Hernandez delivered a career year, batting .272 and smashing 33 home runs, earning his second All-Star appearance, winning the Home Run Derby and playing a pivotal role in the Dodgers' World Series championship run. Advertisement As a result, his future in Los Angeles was secured this past offseason when he signed a three-year, $66 million contract, locking him in through the 2027 season. Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernández (37) is congratulated by outfielder Tommy Edman (25)Brad Mills-Imagn Images Hernandez missed Sunday's matchup against the Houston Astros after fouling a ball off his left foot on Saturday, forcing him out of the lineup and leaving Los Angeles to adjust its outfield alignment. On Monday, the Dodgers recalled outfielder James Outman from Triple-A Oklahoma City and placed infielder/outfielder Kiké Hernández on the 10-day injured list with left elbow inflammation. If Teoscar Hernandez sits out a second straight game, Outman—who finished third in National League Rookie of the Year voting in 2023—could see action in right field. With Kiké Hernandez sidelined, the Dodgers will be forced to lean on alternative options to cover the outfield. Advertisement Tommy Edman, the Dodgers' versatile utility man who can cover both infield and outfield, suffered a hairline fracture in his right pinky toe Saturday and was scratched from Sunday's lineup—leaving L.A. without another outfield option for the series opener against the Milwaukee Brewers. Los Angeles has already endured injuries to pitchers Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow, but the recent losses among key position players will test the organization's offensive depth. With the All-Star break approaching, the Dodgers will need healthy contributors on offense to maintain their seven-game NL West lead over the San Francisco Giants and San Diego Padres.

Dodgers Predicted To Cut Ties With Former Top Prospect This Month
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Los Angeles Dodgers are expected to be very aggressive at the trade deadline this season as they push to win another World Series title. Injuries have destroyed the Dodgers' roster so far, but the trade market should be the best place to fix the team in the coming weeks. But if Los Angeles is going to bring in big talent, it's going to have to part ways with valuable pieces of its own. Henry Palattella of Dodgers Way recently suggested Los Angeles would cut ties with former top outfield prospect James Outman. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - MAY 15: James Outman #33 of the Los Angeles Dodgers celebrates after hitting a solo home run in the sixth inning during a game against the Athletics at Dodger Stadium on... LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - MAY 15: James Outman #33 of the Los Angeles Dodgers celebrates after hitting a solo home run in the sixth inning during a game against the Athletics at Dodger Stadium on May 15, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. More"While he's 28 now and doesn't have the same kind of pedigree he had in 2023 when he was one of the team's hottest prospects and finished third in the year in Rookie of the Year voting, there's still a chance a team would be interested in taking a chance on him. (He's hitting .278 with 19 home runs in Triple-A this year)," Palattella wrote. "He could also be expendable as well. The Dodgers have already shown that they don't view him as a piece of their future, so any team looking to trade with the Dodgers won't need to twist Los Angeles' arm to get Outman as a part of their deal. "Outman would be the perfect piece to use in a trade with a team that's straddling the line between buyer and seller, since he has MLB experience, but isn't eligible for free agency until 2030." Outman was once seen as an outfielder of the future in Los Angeles. But with the Dodgers spending so much money in free agency, the former top prospect is without a spot on the big league club. However, he's shown enough promise to generate interest in a trade this season. While the outfielder might not be the most valuable prospect because of his age, teams like the Cincinnati Reds and Philadelphia Phillies might be willing to take a chance on him in a trade deadline deal.

Dodgers place Kiké Hernández on injured list and call up James Outman to headline series of moves
MILWAUKEE — Los Angeles Dodgers utilityman Kiké Hernández went on the injured list with left elbow inflammation and outfielder James Outman got called up from the minors among a series of moves the NL West leaders made Monday. The Dodgers also called up right-handed pitcher Julian Fernández, optioned left-hander Justin Wrobleski to Triple-A Oklahoma City and designated infielder CJ Alexander for assignment before beginning a three-game series with the Milwaukee Brewers. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Hernández started getting bothered by the elbow issue during a series in Cleveland at the end of May. 'There was a slide there at home plate where it really started to act up and bother him,' Roberts said. 'At that point in time, he kept it to himself, just wanting to be out there and compete. It just continually got worse and really impacted his offense and his swing. And so just a couple of days ago it really reached a head where it was pretty much intolerable.' Hernández has hit just .109 (6 of 55) since the start of June. The 33-year-old is batting .195 with a .259 on-base percentage, eight homers and 22 RBIs in 71 games this season. Roberts said the Dodgers are hopeful Hernández could return shortly after the All-Star break. Outman, 28, batted .125 (3 of 24) with two homers and four RBIs in nine games during an earlier stint with Los Angeles this season. He has been hitting .289 with a .378 on-base percentage, 20 homers, 74 RBIs and 14 steals in 70 games with Triple-A Oklahoma City. The Dodgers arrived in Milwaukee after getting swept in a three-game home series with Houston that underscored their roster issues due to various nagging injuries. Outfielder Teoscar Hernández and second baseman Tommy Edman didn't play in a 5-1 loss to the Astros on Sunday and remained out of the lineup Monday, though neither player was placed on the injured list. Teoscar Hernández fouled a ball off his left foot and Edman fouled a ball off his right foot Saturday in a 6-4 loss to the Astros. Edman ended up with a fractured toe. Roberts said both players could be available off the bench the next couple of days and expressed hope they might be able to start Wednesday. Fernández, 29, was 3-0 with a 4.08 ERA and 32 strikeouts over 28 2/3 innings in 24 appearances with Oklahoma City. Wrobleski, 24, was 4-3 with a 4.50 ERA and 40 strikeouts over 40 innings in eight appearances with Los Angeles. The Dodgers had just claimed Alexander off waivers from the New York Yankees last week before designating him for assignment Monday. ___ AP MLB:
