Hernandez, 21, will miss next year’s Arizona Complex League season following the positive drug test.

Hernandez signed with the Dodgers as a minor league free agent in July 2019. This past season in the Arizona Complex League, he slashed .302/.394/.512 with four home runs, 21 runs batted in, and an OPS of .906 across 26 games. He added six doubles, eight walks, and five stolen bases while striking out 21 times.

Across 135 career minor league games since 2021, Hernandez is slashing .268/.390/.434 with 11 home runs and 77 runs batted in. Now, he’ll have to sit out the 2025 season before being able to play again.

Hernandez signed with the Dodgers out of Venezuela in 2019 on a deal that included a $10,000 signing bonus.
