  Hernandez went 3-for-5 with four RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 9-7 loss to the Cubs. Hernandez opened the scoring in the first inning with a two-out, two-run single off Kyle Hendricks.

  Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Monday's 8-3 win over the Giants.

• Dodgers' Teoscar Hernandez: Had trouble seeing ball at T-Mobile

  Rotowire Feb 24, 2024

  Hernandez has admitted to having difficulty picking up the ball while playing at T-Mobile Park in Seattle last season, Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register reports. T-Mobile doesn't have the friendliest dimensions, anyway, and it sounds like Hernandez might have been facing some additional disadvantages. The 31-year-old batted .295 with an .830 OPS on the road in 2023 while sporting a lowly .217 average and .643 OPS at home. Now with a more hitter-friendly Dodger Stadium to call home as well as a terrific supporting cast around him, Hernandez appears poised for a nice bounce-back 2024 campaign.

• Dodgers' Teoscar Hernandez: Heading to Dodgers

  Rotowire Jan 7, 2024

  Hernandez signed a one-year, $23.5 million contract with the Dodgers on Sunday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. Hernandez spent the 2023 campaign with the Mariners on a one-year deal, and he'll land another one-year contract for 2024. He had multi-year offers from other teams but elected to join a competitor and should be a well-rounded contributor as part of the Dodgers' stellar lineup. The 31-year-old has averaged 24.5 home runs per season across the last six years, and he's slashed .262/.317/.484 during that time.
