Dodgers activate Teoscar Hernández, restoring lineup to full strength amid pitching concerns

The Los Angeles Dodgers are getting a key part of their lineup back. Teoscar Hernández has been activated from the injured list, the team announced on Monday.

Hernández, 32, sustained a left groin strain while chasing down a line drive in the outfield during the Dodgers' game versus the Miami Marlins on May 6. At the time of his injury, he was batting .315 with a .933 OPS, 10 doubles and nine home runs, while leading MLB with 34 RBI in 33 games (136 plate appearances).

With Hernández's return, outfielder James Outman was sent back down to Triple-A Oklahoma City.
