Dodgers’ Outfield Depth Grows with Returns of Teoscar Hernandez, Tommy Edman
- The Dodgers welcomed back Teoscar Hernandez on Monday after his two-week absence due to injury, while Tommy Edman made his return as the starting center fielder on Sunday.
- Hernandez missed two weeks due to a strained adductor muscle, and both he and Edman are expected to have limited playing time initially upon their return.
- During Hernandez's absence, Trayce Pages started all 12 games in right field, batting.288 with 13 RBIs and a.802 OPS, while James Outman struggled with a.125 average.
- Manager Roberts emphasized, "we need to be better at getting ahead in counts," noting the pitching staff ranks near the bottom in that area despite long-term strength in first-pitch strikes.
- The team’s pitching staff maintains a 4.21 ERA tied for 21st in the majors, with several injured pitchers progressing in rehab though no clear timeline for their full returns.

How the Dodgers plan to have Hyeseong Kim make starts
Hyeseong Kim has provided a jolt to the Los Angeles Dodgers lineup since being recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City earlier this month.
