Teoscar Hernandez Finishes Triple Short Of Cycle Thursday
10 months agoLos Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez had a big night on Thursday, going 3-for-5 with a double and a homer in an 11-7 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Hernandez added three runs and an RBI to round out his line. It was good to see the 31-year-old get back on track in June after going 0-for-13 in his last three games. These streaks tend to happen for Teoscar, but in the end he always seems to end up with a decent average, solid run and RBI totals, and 25-30 homers. He's on pace to do just that again this year, and that makes him a solid fantasy asset.

Teoscar Hernandez Hits A Three-Run Home Run In Dodgers' Win
4 days agoLos Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez connected on his first home run of the season in the Dodgers' home opener on Thursday night and helped power his team to a 5-4 victory over the visiting Tigers. Hernandez's home run came in the fifth inning off AL Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal. Hernandez hit the first pitch he saw in that at-bat from Skubal over the center field fence to turn a 2-1 deficit into a 4-2 lead for the Dodgers. Hernandez is just 2-for-12 (.167) in his three games this season, but his first home run was a meaningful one for Los Angeles. He remains a strong power option in the outfield and should continue to thrive in the Dodgers' productive lineup.

Mets Made Offer To Teoscar Hernandez
3 months agoBefore outfielder Teoscar Hernandez re-signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers for three years and $66 million this week, the New York Mets offered him a two-year contract, according to a source. The move would have been a big addition for the Mets after they already landed superstar outfielder Juan Soto, and it likely would have meant a move back to center field for Brandon Nimmo. For fantasy purposes, the 32-year-old Hernandez staying in Hollywood in the middle of a stacked Dodgers lineup is probably for the best. It was pretty much expected all along for Hernandez to stay in LA after helping the team win the World Series in his first year with the organization. Hernandez hit .272/.339/.501 with a career-high 33 home runs, 99 RBI, 12 steals and 84 runs scored in 2024. His strong batted-ball metrics suggest he should have another strong season in 2025 in one of the best situations in baseball.

Teoscar Hernandez Returning To Los Angeles On Three-Year Deal
3 months agoAccording to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, free-agent outfielder Teoscar Hernandez is returning to the Los Angeles Dodgers on a three-year contract worth $66 million. Throughout the offseason, the 32-year-old expressed interest in a reunion, and now both sides have agreed to a deal. In his first season as a Dodger, Hernandez spent most of his time in left field and posted a strong .272/.339/.501 slash line with 33 home runs and 12 stolen bases. He tallied an impressive 99 RBI batting in a deep lineup. Under the hood, the slugger boasted a .486 xSLG and 14.9% barrel rate, which were among the top marks in the sport. During their World Series run, Hernandez held a .250/.352/.417 line across 16 playoff games. Fantasy managers should expect Hernandez to continue to bat in the top half of an elite lineup, which should provide him ample RBI opportunities throughout the 2025 season.

Teoscar Hernandez Prefers To Stay With Dodgers
4 months agoFree-agent outfielder Teoscar Hernandez has told people that he prefers to re-sign with the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to a few sources, but he also has long been intrigued by the idea of playing at Fenway Park for the Boston Red Sox. Hernandez is also a fan of Boston manager Alex Cora. The Toronto Blue Jays have also been mentioned as a potential suitor for Hernandez, but it could come down to the Dodgers and Red Sox for his services this winter. It was reported in early December that the 32-year-old and the Dodgers were working on a new deal, but nothing has been finalized, and LA has since signed left-handed-hitting outfielder Michael Conforto. The Conforto signing shouldn't close the door on a Hernandez reunion with the Dodgers after he helped them win the World Series in his first season in Hollywood. Despite a high strikeout rate, Hernandez was one of the better sluggers in baseball in 2024.
