"Dating back to 2015, Hernandez has filled several holes for the franchise. He's played almost every single position on the field - including pitching several times. Hernandez has a charisma and quirkiness that is difficult to quantify. He's unquestionably one of the bigger leaders within the clubhouse, and his ability to perform at his best during the postseason is arguably Hernandez's most valuable trait."
"During the interview, Hernandez revealed that he had been playing hurt throughout the season. A fan recently saw him at the airport, and a groggy Hernandez essentially confirmed that he had just had surgery. "They went in thinking it was going to be an extensor release, and when they went in, they realized I had torn that thing completely off the bone," Hernandez said. "So it turned out to be an extensor repair. I'll be out for, like, a month or two next year.""
Kiké Hernandez is a notable free agent and a versatile, indispensable member of the Los Angeles Dodgers since 2015. He has filled many roster needs, playing nearly every position—including pitching—and provides charisma, clubhouse leadership, and strong postseason performance. Hernandez revealed that he played hurt during the season and underwent surgery after a fan saw him at an airport. Surgeons found a torn extensor tendon that required repair, and he said he would be out 'a month or two' next year. Team timelines estimate he may not return until May at the earliest, which could influence Dodgers' offseason decisions.
