Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez continued his strong season with another home run in Tuesday's victory versus the Texas Rangers. Hernandez went 1-for-3 with a walk and two-run homer on the evening. The home run would be his 17th of the year to go along with his 50th RBI and a solid .266 batting average.

Hernandez hit a career-high 32 homers in 2021 with the Toronto Blue Jays and he could surpass that with the way he his hitting this season. Entrenched in the No. 5 spot of the order, Hernandez remains a great option for managers moving forward. |

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez had a big night on Thursday, going 3-for-5 with a double and a homer in an 11-7 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Hernandez added three runs and an RBI to round out his line. It was good to see the 31-year-old get back on track in June after going 0-for-13 in his last three games. These streaks tend to happen for Teoscar, but in the end he always seems to end up with a decent average, solid run and RBI totals, and 25-30 homers. He's on pace to do just that again this year, and that makes him a solid fantasy asset. |

The 31-year-old veteran slugger is slashing a prolific .254/.329/.487 with 12 big flies, 38 RBI, 31 runs scored, and three stolen bases through 197 at-bats (53 games) as an everyday corner outfielder in the heart of LA's star-studded lineup this year. Hernandez will remain a great fantasy play across the board through the weekend series against the Reds, now hitting .393 with two blasts and four RBI in eight games versus Cincinnati since 2023. |

Sun May 12 | 08:39 | Teoscar Hernandez Belts Grand Slam Saturday |
Los Angeles Dodgers left fielder Teoscar Hernandez hit a grand slam in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Padres. The sixth-inning blast was his 11th home run of the season, one off the league lead of 12, and gave the Dodgers some breathing room after leading just 1-0 to that point in the game. The 31-year-old is having a strong month of May, hitting five home runs already after collecting just three the entire month of April. With 33 RBI, 27 runs scored, and three stolen bases on the season, the veteran has been one of the top fantasy producers so far in 2024. The former All-Star has a 14.3% Barrel% thus far so there's no reason to think the power output will fall off going forward. |

Thu Apr 25 | 21:42 | Teoscar Hernandez Plays Long Ball Thursday |
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez slugged his sixth home run of the season on Thursday as part of a narrow 2-1 win over the hosting Washington Nationals. Hernandez clubbed a solo shot to get the scoring started in the top half of the second inning while Yoshinobu's six scoreless innings helped keep the Nationals' offense at bay. After a mild season, by his standards, in his lone campaign with the Mariners in 2023, Hernandez is back to his slugging ways with a .255 average alongside those six home runs and an .807 OPS across 27 games his first 114 trips to the plate in a Dodgers uniform. Even with a 35.1% K% on the season, Hernandez is providing quality returns to those fantasy managers who invested in a bounce-back in 2024. |

Tue Apr 2 | 12:29 | Teoscar Hernandez Homers Again In Win Over Giants |
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez has really looked good in a Dodgers uniform so far in 2024. In the 8-3 win over the division-rival San Francisco Giants on Monday night, he went 1-for-4 with his fourth home run of the season, three RBI, a run scored and a strikeout. The 31-year-old's three-run homer in the sixth inning broke open the game to help the Blue win the first game of the series. The Dominican slugger is looking like he's ready for a big bounce-back season after disappointing in 2023 with the Seattle Mariners. In his first seven games with LA, Hernandez currently leads the majors with four home runs and also 13 strikeouts. Hernandez probably isn't going to hit for a high average, but he's going to have plenty of opportunities to drive in runs in the Dodgers' stacked lineup. |

Sat Mar 30 | 09:27 | Teoscar Hernandez Belts Two Home Runs |

The 31-year-old took Cardinals lefty Zack Thompson deep both times, going 2-for-4 on the night with four RBI and two runs scored. He's now 4-for-15 (.267) on the season and should provide the Dodgers with some additional pop in the bottom half of the order throughout the season. The veteran is coming off of a season in which he hit 26 home runs and drove in 93 runs for the Mariners with his 13.8% barrel rate. |

Apart from a shortened 2020 season, Hernandez hasn't hit less than 22 homeruns since 2018. With the Dodgers huge offseason, his signing may have flown under the radar, but managers should not forget to consider the outfielder as a solid OF2/3 option in mixed leagues. |

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez went 1-for-3 with a two-run double against the San Diego Padres on Thursday.

His contact skills, power, and job security give him significant fantasy value for the upcoming campaign. |

Tue Jan 16 | 20:32 | Teoscar Hernandez To "Be An Everyday Guy" |
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez will "be an everyday guy" in his first year with the team in 2024, according to general manager Brandon Gomes. The Dodgers added Hernandez on a one-year, $23.5 million deal this offseason following a disappointing 2023 campaign with the Seattle Mariners in which he slashed .258/.305/.435 with 26 hoe runs, 29 doubles, two triples, 93 RBI, seven stolen bases and 70 runs scored in 160 games played. An everyday role in a much better lineup is going to raise the 31-year-old's fantasy draft price by itself. Despite decent counting stats for Seattle last season, Hernandez posted the lowest OPS (.740) since his rookie year and he struck out 31 percent of the time. Moving out of a pitcher-friendly park in Seattle should help him bounce back for the Dodgers. Hernandez is a buy candidate with 30-homer potential. |

Mon Jan 8 | 00:11 | Teoscar Hernandez, Dodgers Agree On One-Year Deal |
Free-agent outfielder Teoscar Hernandez and the Los Angeles Dodgers have reached an agreement on a one-year, $23.5 million contract. ESPN's Jeff Passan notes that the corner-outfield market is tough, and Hernandez opted for a big one-year deal over other multiyear offers. The Toronto Blue Jays traded Hernandez to the Seattle Mariners last offseason, and he put together an up-and-down campaign overall in 2023. The 31-year-old two-time Silver Slugger slashed .258/.305/.435 with 26 home runs, 93 RBI, 70 runs scored, and seven stolen bases over 678 plate appearances in 160 games last year. The Dodgers could be a favorable landing spot for fantasy purposes, but L.A.'s loaded lineup may also force Hernandez to frequently occupy the lower-third of the batting order against right-handed pitching. With David Peralta remaining unsigned, however, Hernandez still looks set to be the primary left fielder at Chavez Ravine for 2024. |

Fri Jan 5 | 20:03 | Three Front-Runners For Teoscar Hernandez |
The Los Angeles Angels, Los Angeles Dodgers and Boston Red Sox appear to be the front-runners to sign free-agent outfielder Teoscar Hernandez, a two-time Silver Slugger winner. Some are speculating that Hernandez will wait for Cody Bellinger to sign before inking his own deal, but the Angels, Dodgers and Red Sox aren't in on Bellinger, which could open the door for them to make an aggressive move on him. The 31-year-old was an All-Star in 2021 but disappointed in 2023 with the M's, hitting 26 home runs with a .740 OPS and a career-high 211 strikeouts in 160 games in spacious T-Mobile Park. He was ranked near the bottom of the league in chase percentage (13th percentile), walk rate (13th percentile), strikeout rate (ninth percentile) and whiff percentage (third percentile), so Hernandez will be hoping a change of scenery does him well. |

Wed Dec 27 2023 | 00:23 | Dodgers, Angels, Red Sox Interested In Teoscar Hernandez |
The Los Angeles Dodgers have shown renewed interest in free-agent outfielder Teoscar Hernandez, while the Los Angeles Angels and Boston Red Sox have recently shown interest. The 31-year-old slugger took a step back in the power department in 2023 with the Mariners but still slashed a respectable .258/.305/.435 with 26 home runs, 93 RBI, and seven stolen bases. While the Dodgers have already made some huge moves this offseason, they could improve their starting outfield, as Mookie Betts is slated to primarily play second base. The Angels could also do with bolstering their lineup due to the loss of Shohei Ohtani, while the Red Sox lost several key lineup pieces to free agency. Hernandez is a strikeout liability, but he hits the ball very hard. As such, he will be a relevant fantasy option in all leagues in 2024, but that will fluctuate depending on where he lands. |

Sat Dec 23 2023 | 12:13 | Teoscar Hernandez Gaining Interest From Boston |
Free agent outfielder Teoscar Hernandez is garnering interest from the Boston Red Sox, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. The 31-year-old slugger put up a subpar .258/.305/.435 batting line to go along with 26 home runs, 93 RBI, and seven stolen bases over 625 at-bats in his lone season with the Seattle Mariners in 2023. The M's declined to extend a $20.325 qualifying offer to Hernandez back in early November and he became a free agent. The Red Sox outfield could use some pop and Hernandez could be the man to provide it. He's slugged at least 25 home runs every season, excluding the shortened 2020 campaign, since 2019. |

Fri Nov 10 2023 | 00:28 | Teoscar Hernandez On Dodgers Radar |
Free-agent outfielder Teoscar Hernandez is on the Los Angeles Dodgers' radar. The Dodgers could use a corner outfielder and have shown interest in Hernandez before. He was an All-Star in 2021 and has at least 22 home runs in each full season since he became a regular in the league in 2018. The 31-year-old is also more attractive this offseason after the Seattle Mariners didn't extend him a qualifying offer, so the Dodgers wouldn't have to give up draft-pick compensation to bring him in this winter. Hernandez has developed a reputation for being a streaker hitter. He finished his first and possibly only season in Seattle in 2023 by slashing .258/.305/.435 with 26 home runs, 29 doubles, two triples, 93 RBI, seven stolen bases and 70 runs scored in 160 games. His .741 OPS and 106 OPS+ were among the lowest of his career for any of his full seasons played, and his 31.1% strikeout rate was the highest on the team and fifth-highest in MLB. |

Tue Nov 7 2023 | 16:41 | Teoscar Hernandez Doesn't Receive Qualifying Offer From Mariners |
The Seattle Mariners chose not to give a $20.325 million qualifying offer to outfielder Teoscar Hernandez, so the team won't receive draft-pick compensation if he signs with another team this winter. If Hernandez doesn't re-sign with Seattle, it will leave them with a hole in right field and in the middle of their lineup heading into next season. The M's were clearly wary of committing to a high price for a player prone to peaks and valleys offensively. The 31-year-old earned $14 million in 2023 in his final season of arbitration eligibility, and he'll be on the open market for the first time in his career. His .741 OPS and 106 OPS+ were among the lowest of his career this year for a full season, and his 31.1% strikeout rate was the highest on the team and fifth-highest in MLB. |
