Overview
- The Dodgers say Hernández will begin a four- to five-game rehab stint with Triple-A Oklahoma City in Reno on Tuesday.
- He has been on the injured list since late May with a Grade 1 left hamstring strain and has resumed live batting practice as the club steps up his recovery.
- If he handles live games without setbacks, the team could activate him before the series against the Athletics that starts June 29.
- His return would force a roster decision for the crowded outfield and could displace Ryan Ward, who has filled in and moved between levels this season.
- Hernández had been hitting well before the injury, posting a strong May, and the Dodgers are taking a cautious, stepwise plan to avoid a recurrence after a rushed return in 2025.
