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.
