"I'm still bummed that I don't get to be a part of it, but I still support my people. For us this tournament is just as important or even more important than our work in the Major Leagues."
"Hernandez has indicated that he plans to be back by May 24, giving him a little over two months to work on his recovery. Manager Dave Roberts has said Hernandez is on track to meet that timeline."
Kike Hernandez, a Los Angeles Dodgers fan favorite, has transitioned from the World Baseball Classic to preparing for the MLB season. He bleached and dyed his hair blue, reminiscent of Dodger Blue, signaling his readiness for the upcoming campaign. While recovering from elbow surgery and unable to play in spring training, Hernandez remained active by welcoming his second child, Santiago Jose, and working on a documentary about Puerto Rican baseball and its rivalry with the Dominican Republic. He supported Team Puerto Rico throughout the WBC despite his injury. Hernandez expects to return to play by May 24, with manager Dave Roberts confirming he is progressing well in his recovery.
