Kiké Hernández has been placed on the 10-day injured list retroactive to July 6 because of left elbow inflammation. He has been managing this issue for the past month, initially concealing it to continue playing. The injury was incurred on an awkward slide during a game against the Cleveland Guardians in late May. An MRI revealed inflammation, and Hernández received a cortisone injection. Manager Dave Roberts expects him to return shortly after the All-Star break. The injury has affected his batting, with only eight hits in his last 59 at-bats. James Outman was recalled from Triple-A as a corresponding move to Hernández's injury.
