Kiké Hernández • 2B/OF • LAD

Kike Hernandez (hand) and Chris Taylor (forearm) in lineup Tuesday vs. Blue Jays

Hernandez ($4,100), who hasn't appeared in a game for Los Angeles since spraining his left hand back on July 24, will make his return to the lineup this evening when his team takes on Sean Reid-Foley ($8,300) and Toronto. The timing of the injury couldn't have been worse for Hernandez, as the 27-year-old had seemingly just started rounding into form following a two-month slump that encompassed most of May and June. Hernandez was slashing .352/.417/.574 in 60 plate appearances in July. Though his preference tends to be LHPs, the Dodgers' high implied run total makes Hernandez an acceptable option on tonight's slate. Taylor ($4,900) was also activated from the IL and will hit fifth.

The Dodgers activated IF/OF Chris Taylor and Kiké Hernandez from the 10-day IL and recalled RHP Dylan Floro. Los Angeles placed Kristopher Negrón on the 10-day IL with neck stiffness and optioned OF Kyle Garlick and RHP Casey Sadler.
