Dodgers place Teoscar Hernández on IL due to groin injury, call up James Outman

MIAMI — The Dodgers put outfielder Teoscar Hernández on the injured list Tuesday with a left groin strain, a day after Hernández injured himself chasing down a fly ball in right field and left the game early.

James Outman was called up from triple-A Oklahoma City to replace Hernández on the roster.

In the third inning of Monday’s win over the Miami Marlins, Hernández broke hard for a line drive in the gap and stretched at full sprint to make the catch.

After returning to the dugout between innings, Hernández was removed from the game, reporting tightness in both his hamstring and adductor to the team’s training staff.
