UPDATE: Hernandez has been activated off the injured list and is batting fifth while playing right field.

Dodgers OF Teoscar Hernandez ($5,300) was having himself quite the Monday evening, as he hit a single, a double and drove in run. Unfortunately, he was replaced by Chris Tayor ($2,000) in the fourth inning due to hamstring tightness.

There’s been no mention of when the injury occurred or the severity of it.

In 134 plate appearances, Hernandez hit nine home runs, stole four bases, scored 21 runs and drove in 33. He is slashing .305/.323/.586 with a 3% walk rate, 18.7% strikeout rate and a whopping .281 ISO. He was batting third of fourth in the lineup.

The Dodgers are deep, but losing Hernandez is a big blow, especially with Tommy Edman on the injured list.

Enrique Hernandez and Taylor will likely handle right field duties for as long as Hernandez is out.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
