Teoscar Hernandez did his best to carry the offense in Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Phillies, hitting two home runs and a double. He scored twice and drove in five RBI. He's now up to four homers, 13 RBI, seven runs, and two steals on the season through 45 plate appearances. He is a force in the middle of that Dodgers lineup, and he's picking up right where he left off in 2024 when he slashed .272/.339/.501 with 33 home runs. One of the game's premier sluggers with sneaky speed, Hernandez looks primed to deliver another top-20 outfield performance for fantasy.

Teoscar Hernandez went 2-for-3 with a home run during their victory over the Atlanta Braves on Monday evening. Hernandez went deep in the opening frame off Atlanta right-hander
Grant Holmes. His long ball also scored
Shohei Ohtani. Later in the contest, he would add a single and a walk and eventually score twice more. Through his first six games of the campaign, the 32-year-old has enjoyed a hot start, hitting two home runs with a .545 SLG. He has tallied eight RBI but holds a modest .227 AVG. Hernandez should continue to see elite RBI opportunities batting in the top half of the potent Dodger lineup. Last season, Hernandez launched 33 home runs with 99 RBI in his first campaign as a Dodger. On Tuesday, he will have a tougher task facing Atlanta southpaw
Chris Sale.

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.

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.
