Updating a previous report, Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder
Teoscar Hernandez (groin) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday with a Grade 1 left-adductor strain, according to manager Dave Roberts. The Dodgers initially called Hernandez's injury hamstring tightness when he was pulled from Monday's series opener against the Miami Marlins. It remains to be seen when the 32-year-old slugger will return to the Dodgers, but it's good news that his groin strain wasn't all that severe. Fantasy managers should obviously be stashing Hernandez, who entered Tuesday's play as the MLB leader with 34 RBI in 33 games played. The Dodgers called up outfielder
James Outman from Triple-A Oklahoma City, and he is starting in center field and batting eighth on Tuesday against Marlins right-hander
Cal Quantrill.
Andy Pages is in right field and is in the two-hole.

The Los Angeles Dodgers will place outfielder
Teoscar Hernandez (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's contest against the Miami Marlins. Hernandez exited Monday's game early due to left hamstring tightness. According to Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register, outfielder
James Outman has joined the team in Miami. Hernandez has enjoyed an impressive start to the season, boasting a .315/.333/.600 slash line with nine home runs and four stolen bases. Under the hood, the 32-year-old has generated an elite .316 xBA with a strong .370 xwOBA. While Hernandez is sidelined, fantasy managers should expect Outman,
Chris Taylor, and
Andy Pages to see time in right field. When Pages shifts to right field,
Hyeseong Kim would likely cover center field.

Teoscar Hernandez (hamstring) left Monday's series opener against the hosting Miami Marlins early due to left-hamstring tightness, according to the team. Before leaving the game early, Hernandez was 2-for-2 with an RBI for the Blue.
Andy Pages shifted from center field to right field, while
Chris Taylor entered the game to play center field for L.A. Losing Hernandez for any amount of time would be a big blow for fantasy managers. The 32-year-old Dominican veteran came into Monday's action hitting an impressive .305/.323/.586 with a .909 OPS, nine home runs, nine doubles, a league-leading 33 RBI, four stolen bases and 21 runs scored in 32 games. Check back for an update on Hernandez's condition later Monday or Tuesday morning. If he's forced to miss time, Taylor figures to be the biggest beneficiary of playing time in the Dodgers' outfield.
UPDATE: Hernandez will get an MRI exam on Tuesday. "A little concerning," manager Dave Roberts said.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerSource: Los Angeles Dodgers

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder
Teoscar Hernandez had a big game on Tuesday, going 4-for-5 with two doubles, two runs, and four RBI in a 15-2 victory over the Miami Marlins. Hernandez was all over Marlins starter
Sandy Alcantara, smacking two RBI doubles off of him in the first two innings. The 32-year-old is having yet another solid season for the Dodgers, hitting .297 with a .926 OPS while adding 18 runs, nine homers, 31 RBI, and two steals in 111 at-bats. His RBI total now leads the entire majors, and he could end up at or near the top in that category, considering his placement in the stacked Dodgers lineup. Hernandez should remain a fixture of fantasy lineups all season.
