Dodgers' Enrique Hernandez: Goes yard in win
Hernandez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Nationals.
Hernandez took Patrick Corbin deep to center field in the fifth to add on to the Dodgers' lead. It was his first home run and first extra-base hit of the season, as he's been struggling at the plate early on, slashing just .200/.233/.275 with four RBI, two runs and a 2:10 BB:K in 43 plate appearances.

Dodgers' Enrique Hernandez: Draws sixth start of season
Hernandez will start in center field and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Cubs.
The utility man will be making his sixth start through the Dodgers' first 12 games, with four coming in center field and one apiece coming in left field and at third base. Hernandez will likely have a regular spot against left-handed pitching throughout the season, but the Dodgers may need to be hit harder by the injury bug before he gets more frequent looks versus right-handers, though Jason Heyward being out with a back injury opens things up a bit on that side.

Dodgers' Enrique Hernandez: Expected for Korea series
Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes said Monday that Hernandez (groin) is expected to be on the active roster for the team's two-game series against the Padres in South Korea on March 20 and 21, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Hernandez had double hernia surgery in October and is now getting a late start to camp after signing with the Dodgers on Monday. However, the team still anticipates the utility player having enough time to ramp up for its early series overseas. Hernandez should see plenty of starts against left-handed pitching for the Dodgers this season.

Dodgers' Enrique Hernandez: Back with Dodgers on one-year deal
Hernandez (groin) confirmed via social media Monday that he agreed to a one-year contract with the Dodgers.
Multiple reports suggested that a deal between Hernandez and the Dodgers was close, and the veteran utility man verified himself that the deal is done. The Dodgers suddenly had a need for a right-handed hitting outfielder after trading away Manuel Margot earlier Monday, and Hernandez can fit that bill along with offering infield protection, as well. He had just a .599 OPS in 86 games for the Red Sox last season but finished much stronger with the Dodgers in posting a .731 OPS in 54 contests. Hernandez underwent double-hernia surgery in October but is expected to be healthy when he reports to spring training.

Enrique Hernandez: Recovering from hernia surgery
Hernandez underwent double-hernia surgery Oct. 24, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Dodgers' Enrique Hernandez: Retreats to bench Sunday
Hernandez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.
The utility man will head to the bench after he started in each of the past four games while going 5-for-18 with one home run, three doubles, two walks, five RBI and two runs in addition to picking up reps in center field and at third base and shortstop. He should be a mainstay in the lineup versus left-handers and will see occasional starts versus right-handed pitching.

Dodgers' Enrique Hernandez: Has productive day at plate
Hernandez went 3-for-5 with two doubles, a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's win over the Guardians.
Hernandez doubled in his first at-bat before coming around to score on a Mookie Betts single, giving the Dodgers their first run of the game. The utility player then chipped in an RBI double and a solo homer in his final two plate appearances, giving him his first long ball since Aug. 7. It was just his third three-hit performance this season, but two of them have come since he was re-acquired by Los Angeles. He's now batting .292 in August with two homers, 15 RBI and 11 runs scored and has driven in two runs in back-to-back games.

Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run and a walk Monday in a 13-7 victory over San Diego.
Hernandez went deep in the sixth inning, swatting a solo shot to left-center field. It was his first long ball since rejoining the Dodgers as a result of a July 25 trade with the Red Sox.

Dodgers' Enrique Hernandez: Playing regularly against lefties
Hernandez will start in left field and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Padres.
Hernandez will stick in the lineup for the seventh straight game and will appear in his 10th contest overall since beginning his second stint with the Dodgers on July 26. He's managed a .286/.300/.393 slash line through his first nine games with the Dodgers, but don't expect Hernandez's playing time to remain quite as robust moving forward. Hernandez has mostly benefited from the Dodgers having encountered a lefty-heavy slate of late, with Sunday's game marking the fifth time in six contests that Los Angeles has opposed a southpaw starter. He's not expected to be a lineup regular versus right-handed pitching.

Dodgers' Enrique Hernandez: Returning to Dodgers in trade
The Dodgers acquired Hernandez in a trade from the Red Sox on Tuesday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports. The Red Sox will receive pitchers Nick Robertson and Justin Hagenman in return for Hernandez, per Jeff Passan of ESPN.com.
Hernandez has posted an ugly .222/.279/.320 batting line in 323 plate appearances this season after also struggling at the dish in 2022, but he can play shortstop and second base, and the Dodgers need help at both spots. The 31-year-old seems likely to operate in a super-utility role, even covering some outfield, as he makes his return to Los Angeles. He played six seasons with the Dodgers between 2015 and 2020.

Red Sox's Enrique Hernandez: Regains role at second base
Hernandez will start at second base and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Mets, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
He'll be manning the keystone for the third time in four games and seems to have overtaken Christian Arroyo as the Red Sox's preferred option at the position. Considering that Hernandez has maintained a .143/.189/.143 slash line since the beginning of July, any hold he has on an everyday role is likely a tenuous one.

Red Sox's Enrique Hernandez: Has manager's confidence
Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Hernandez has been playing "good shortstop" for the last month and is confident with him playing the position, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports. "I can say with confidence that we've turned that page a month ago," Cora said Saturday.
Hernandez's struggles have been well documented. He had 14 errors (12 throwing) and a minus-5 defensive runs saved over 470 innings prior to a start at shortstop Saturday. Cora said they spotted mechanical issues, which has been addressed, and has no issues using him going forward. Shortstop will be a rotation of sorts with Hernandez cycling in with Yu Chang, and potentially Pablo Reyes (abdomen) when he comes off the 10-day injured list.

Red Sox's Enrique Hernandez: Prominent in rally
Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a walk, two RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 10-6 win over the Rangers.
Hernandez, who has struggled both offensively and defensively this season and hadn't played since July 2, had the big hit during during Boston's six-run rally in the seventh inning. His broken-bat blooper, with an exit velocity of 52.7 mph and expected batting average of .150, fell into left field to plate the tying and go-ahead runs. With the expected return of Yu Chang (wrist) this weekend, Hernandez's playing time will be spotty going forward.
