The Los Angeles Dodgers begin their Freeway Series against the Los Angeles Angels Monday night in Anaheim, but a notable player will not be in the lineup.
Teoscar Hernandez will not play in the series opener against the Halos, and manager Dave Roberts explained why.
“We’ve obviously got a big series coming up, I wanted to make sure that he still stays in a good place,” Roberts said, referring to the upcoming rivalry series against the San Diego Padres this weekend. “I think he’s certainly been battling some mechanical [issues]. He’s not right. I just think today is a good for him to use today as a work day.
