Dodgers Put Teoscar Hernández on Injured List, Recall Ryan Ward

Pending imaging, the team expects Hernández to miss at least a few weeks which has prompted a left-field platoon that pairs Ryan Ward with Alex Call.

Overview

  • Teoscar Hernández exited Wednesday’s game after straining his left hamstring while trying to beat out a ground ball and was placed on the injured list pending imaging to determine the full severity.
  • Manager Dave Roberts said the injury will likely cost Hernández a few weeks at minimum and that scans will define a clearer timetable for his return.
  • The Dodgers recalled 28-year-old Ryan Ward from Triple-A Oklahoma City as the corresponding roster move; Ward made his MLB debut in April and has a .254 average with six homers and 31 RBIs in 47 Triple-A games this season.
  • Los Angeles plans a left-field platoon that pairs left-handed Ward with right-handed Alex Call for matchups, and utility Hyeseong Kim has filled in when needed.
  • The club is down two players named Hernández after Enrique Hernández was placed on the IL with a left oblique tear, increasing reliance on minor-league depth and short-term lineup changes during a key stretch of the season.
