Following a loss to the Rockies, Mookie Betts had a meeting with Dodgers' management regarding Teoscar Hernandez's defensive performance. Betts had transitioned back to shortstop this season but faced offensive struggles. Despite a strong defensive start, Hernandez has performed poorly, ranking as the worst right fielder in MLB. Betts's meeting may suggest a need for positional adjustments for better defensive alignment. Hernandez’s recent performance included key missed plays that impacted the game's outcome, prompting criticism from manager Dave Roberts.
"He's got to get better out there. There's just no way to put it. I know there's effort - it's not a lack of effort. But the thing is, we've just got to get better. We do. I don't know what else to say."
"Hernandez grades out as the worst right fielder in MLB with an Outs Above Average of minus-9."
