Teoscar Hernandez went 2-for-4 with a homer and four RBI in Wednesday's 7-6 loss to the Chicago Cubs. His home run was a two-run shot in the fifth inning that gave the Dodgers a lead. Hernandez had been slumping recently, with his OPS dropping from .945 on April 6 to .775 entering Wednesday. He also hadn't homered since April 9, so this game was a nice slump-buster. Overall, the 32-year-old is slashing .270/.290/.528 with six home runs, 22 RBI, 12 runs, and two stolen bases over 93 plate appearances. Even with the mini-slump, Hernandez has been a must-start player in fantasy this year, and there is no reason to think that will change anytime soon.

Teoscar Hernandez (illness) is back in right field and is hitting cleanup for Wednesday's series finale against the division-rival Colorado Rockies and veteran right-hander
German Marquez. Hernandez was feeling under the weather and missed the first two games of the series against Colorado, but he'll return for the finale and should be reinserted into fantasy lineups. The 32-year-old put up a career year in 2024 in his first year in Hollywood and also won a World Series ring. As long as he stays healthy, he should be plenty productive hitting in the heart of one of the most stacked lineups in baseball. In 17 games so far in 2025, he's hit .281 (18-for-64) with five home runs, three doubles, 16 RBI and two stolen bases for his fantasy managers. Hernandez has never faced Marquez in his career.

Teoscar Hernandez (illness) will miss his second straight game on Tuesday as the team continues a series against the division-rival Colorado Rockies at Dodger Stadium. The good news, though, is that Hernandez is feeling good enough to be at the ballpark, which means there's a good chance he'll be back in there on Wednesday.
Michael Conforto is in left field and is batting fifth, while
Andy Pages is starting in right field and is hitting ninth against Rockies right-hander
Ryan Feltner. Hernandez is a must-start in fantasy when he's active in one of the best lineups in baseball, and he's off to a .281/.309/.563 slash line with an .871 OPS, five home runs, 16 RBI and nine runs scored in the early portion of the season. Conforto is the more attractive DFS play on Tuesday night than Pages, but he's gone hitless in five career at-bats against Feltner.

Teoscar Hernandez (illness) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters that Hernandez is currently day-to-day with a stomach bug. This doesn't sound like something that is going to force Hernandez to be placed on the injured list. In his absence,
Andy Pages will cover right field while
Tommy Edman takes over in center field versus right-hander
Antonio Senzatela. Fantasy managers should continue to hold Hernandez who is slashing .281/.309/.563 with seven home runs and 16 RBI this season.
