The Los Angeles Dodgers activate utilityman Kiké Hernández from the injured list on Tuesday as scheduled, returning him to the active roster after an oblique strain sidelined him since May 26. The return comes after Hernández’s offseason elbow surgery return was previously interrupted by the oblique injury, marking a season that already includes two separate extended periods on the injured list. Multiple reports say the activation happens ahead of a series against the Seattle Mariners at Dodger Stadium. With Hernández back, the Dodgers option Alex Freeland to Triple-A Oklahoma City, making him the roster move corresponding to Hernández’s reinstatement. Across the sources, the key details are that Hernández is medically cleared and healthy following the oblique strain, the activation aligns with the planned timing before the Mariners series, and Freeland is sent to the minors to open a spot on the Major League roster.
