Teoscar Hernández, a key player for the Los Angeles Dodgers, was having a standout season until a left groin strain sidelined him for two weeks. Since his return, he has struggled significantly at the plate, batting only .173 with limited extra-base hits. In response to these issues, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has temporarily shifted Will Smith into the cleanup position, emphasizing Hernández's need to regain his former hitting rhythm. Additionally, Hernández's defensive performance in right field has raised concerns, leading to lineup adjustments to accommodate team dynamics.
"He's missing pitches, like with most hitters when they're struggling. Balls you should move forward, he's not. Then there's more chase because he's getting behind."
"I talk to him a lot, he says he feels good. I think Will is swinging the bat better, so I want Will to get the extra at-bat."
