Overview
- Hernández will start a four‑ to five‑game rehab stint with Triple‑A Oklahoma City in Reno beginning Tuesday, according to multiple reports.
- He has been on the injured list since late May with a Grade 1 left hamstring strain sustained after pulling up on a groundout against Colorado.
- Manager Dave Roberts said the club could activate Hernández for the series in Oakland that begins June 29 if the rehab goes smoothly and there is no recurrence.
- Ryan Ward and Alex Call have filled the outfield during Hernández’s absence and one of them will likely be moved to create roster space when he returns.
- Hernández’s return would restore a middle‑order power bat after a strong May and help offset other injuries, notably catcher Will Smith’s continued absence into July.
