Overview
- Kiké Hernández completed a 12-game Triple-A rehab and was activated off the 60-day injured list, making his Dodgers season debut Monday and delivering an RBI double in a comeback win.
- To clear a 40-man roster spot for Hernández the Dodgers designated Santiago Espinal for assignment, giving Los Angeles more veteran infield and outfield flexibility.
- Los Angeles’s bullpen streak of 38 consecutive scoreless innings ended in Hernández’s return game, and the club said wrist swelling for Max Muncy has decreased with the team optimistic he could return in the near term.
- The Mets lost to the Reds as Juan Soto missed a second straight game with a fever, Nolan McLean was charged with seven runs and saw his ERA jump, and New York’s losing streak extended to four games.
- Tyrone Taylor exited with right hip pain and will have an MRI with manager Carlos Mendoza calling him ‘probably headed to the injured list,’ a development that deepens the Mets’ roster strain while Jared Young and A.J. Minter are possible short-term reinforcements.
