Angel Hernandez Assigned to Dodgers-Padres Series amid Lawsuit Against MLB

Veteran umpire Angel Hernandez will work the National League Division Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres despite having an active racial discrimination lawsuit against MLB since 2017, per the Associated Press.

Bill Miller will be the crew chief for the upcoming series beginning Tuesday, with Hernandez also working alongside Lance Barrett, Doug Eddings, Alfonso Marquez and Quinn Wolcott.

Hernandez last worked in the playoffs during the 2018 ALDS between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees. During Game 3 of that series, he had three calls at first overturned by replay.
