Eligibility
Kike Hernandez is in the Dodgers lineup on Thursday against the Reds.
Fantasy Impact
Hernandez gets the start at third base in place of Max Muncy. He is hitting .220 with two home runs so far this season.
Kike Hernandez went 1-for-2 with a home run and an RBI in the Dodgers' 6-4 win over the Giants.
Fantasy Impact
This performance, marked by his second homer of the season, offers a slight glimmer of hope for fantasy managers who have been enduring his sluggish .220 batting average. Despite the home run, Hernandez's overall impact remains limited by his low walk rate (0.078) and unimpressive wOBA (.260). His power display is a positive sign, but with minimal contributions in other categories, he remains a risky play in most fantasy formats. Managers should keep expectations in check unless he shows consistent improvements.

Fantasy Impact

Dodgers utility player Kike Hernandez is in the starting lineup Friday versus the Cardinals.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Kiké Hernández will be in the Dodgers lineup for the first time on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Hernandez recently returned to the Dodgers on a one-year deal. He is expected to primarily play against lefties.
