Teoscar Hernandez: Working toward deal with Dodgers
Rotowire
Hernandez and the Dodgers are working to "nail the final details of a contract," David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
No agreement is in place just yet, but bringing back Hernandez would be a significant upgrade to a Dodgers outfield that currently features Tommy Edman, Andy Pages and James Outman. Hernandez slashed .272/.339/.501 in the regular season with a career-high 33 home runs, 84 runs scored and 99 RBI during his first campaign with Los Angeles, and remaining in a lineup that boasts Shohei Ohtani (shoulder), Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts would certainly help Hernandez achieve similar totals in 2025.

He got the rout started by taking Cal Quantrill deep in the first inning.

Dodgers' Teoscar Hernandez: Secures 30-homer season
Rotowire
Hernandez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Friday's 6-4 win over the Rockies.
Hernandez's sixth-inning solo shot secured his second career 30-homer campaign, with the other coming in 2021 for the Blue Jays. The outfielder hasn't exactly surged to the mark, hitting just two long balls over 13 contests in September while being hampered by an ankle issue earlier in the month. He's added a .269/.335/.493 slash line with 92 RBI, 81 runs scored and 11 stolen bases through 146 games in a bounce-back year.
Hernandez isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Thursday's game versus Miami.
Hernandez went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Wednesday's win, putting an end to his six-game hitting streak. He'll now get a chance to catch his breath while Chris Taylor starts in left field and bats ninth.
Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer and a walk in Sunday's 9-2 win over Alanta.
Hernandez's bat woke up at the right time, as he swatted a two-run homer off Raisel Iglesias in the ninth to put the Dodgers up 7-2. The home run was his first since Aug. 28 and puts him one away from reaching 30 for just the second time in his career. Hernandez now has a hit in all four games since returning to the lineup, including three extra-base hits, following a brief absence due to an ankle contusion. For the season, he's slashing .268/.333/.493 with 62 extra-base hits, 89 RBI, 77 runs, 11 steals and a 48:171 BB:K in 597 plate appearances.
