Dodgers Rest Teoscar Hernández in Braves Opener Amid Sharp Batting Decline

The Los Angeles Dodgers left veteran left fielder Teoscar Hernández out of the starting lineup for Tuesday’s series opener against the Atlanta Braves, a move manager Dave Roberts described as a rest day rather than a benching. The decision follows a severe slump where Hernández hit .172 with no home runs over his last 18 games. Roberts cited mechanical issues and swing-and-miss frustration, noting that hitting coaches identified adjustments that could help. While Hernández is expected to return for the remainder of the road trip, his recent performance has raised questions about his role, especially against right-handed pitching, though the club still values his postseason track record.

Five MLB Stars Poised for Major 2026 Comebacks

With spring training looming, five players—Oneil Cruz, Spencer Strider, Mike Trout, Jake Burger and Teoscar Hernandez—are highlighted as bounce-back candidates for 2026. Cruz posted elite contact metrics but a .200 average and high strikeout rate in 2025, suggesting a luck-based rebound and continued tool-based potential; Strider must rebuild after elbow surgery by embracing a more diverse pitch mix to restore strikeout and run-prevention levels; Trout, healthier than last year and with a mechanics tweak behind him, could return to MVP-caliber production; Burger can regain power by readjusting his swing geography and pull strategy; Hernandez, aided by more selective hitting on a loaded Dodgers roster, could reclaim higher offensive impact. Spring training is just weeks away.
