LOS ANGELES — Teoscar Hernández looked to be amid one of his hottest stretches as a Los Angeles Dodger. Then, he reached for his left hamstring as he ran down the line trying to beat out a groundball in the second inning of Wednesday night’s game against the Colorado Rockies.The Dodgers quickly announced that Hernández had a strained left hamstring. The two-time All-Star’s reaction told the entire story.After crossing the bag, Hernández immediately grabbed at his hamstring, taking a long stroll back to the dugout at Dodger Stadium. Once there, he grabbed his helmet and hit it against the equipment rack.Hyeseong Kim took Hernández’s place in left field to start the third inning.
Teoscar Hernàndez came close to slamming his helmet in the dugout in frustration after pulling up lame running to first base. Grabbed his hamstring immediately before heading down the tunnel with head trainer Thomas Albert. Not great. #Dodgers
— Katie Woo (@katiejwoo) May 28, 2026It’s a frustrating development for Hernández, who has been resurgent in May with an .892 OPS and an ear-to-ear grin that has been typical over his three-year tenure in Los Angeles. It’s an even more startling development for a Dodgers team that just lost Kiké Hernández for at least six to eight weeks with a “significant tear” of his left oblique.
