Overview
- Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Hernández should be activated and likely start at third base when the team returns home to face the Colorado Rockies on Monday.
- Hernández completed a 12-game rehab stint with Triple-A Oklahoma City, playing nine innings at third base in his final outing and hitting .214/.298/.310 with two doubles, a triple and five walks.
- The 34-year-old missed the start of 2026 after left-elbow surgery last fall and re-signed in February on a one-year, $4.5 million deal to remain with Los Angeles.
- Max Muncy was hit on the right wrist by a 95.5-mph pitch on Friday, had negative X-rays and was held out for the weekend while the team evaluates him in Los Angeles.
- Activating Hernández requires the Dodgers to clear a spot on the 40-man roster because he occupies a 60-day injured list slot, a move the club must make before he joins the active roster.
