Dodgers All-Star Makes Candid Admission After Walk-Off Win
A struggling Los Angeles Dodgers star said he talked to manager Dave Roberts about losing time before Thursday's walk-off win.
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez is making headlines as the team aims for a championship defense. Despite a career-low .723 OPS and only 12 home runs, the two-time All-Star has been on a roll lately, going 10-for-18 in his last six games. His standout moment came in Thursday's 3-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals, where he hit a walk-off double.
Hernandez, 33, candidly admitted to manager Dave Roberts that he would understand if he were benched, saying, "If you feel like you have to put someone else in there, just do it." However, Roberts remained confident in his veteran, praising his recent performance. "Against right-handed pitching this series, I thought his at-bats were much better," Roberts commented, noting improvements in walks, pitch selection, and power hitting.
Hernandez, who missed a month due to a hamstring injury, appears to have found his swing again, with Roberts believing his recent form could be sustainable. The team looks forward to his continued contributions, especially against right-handed pitchers.
