Kiké Hernández returns to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday after completing a fast-tracked rehabilitation from a severe oblique injury. The team says he was sidelined after suffering the injury two days into his season debut, and he missed roughly two months before rejoining the active roster. Earlier in the season, Hernández also missed time recovering from left elbow surgery, which kept him out for the first two months of the year. At age 35 later this August, Hernández is a utility player. Upon his return, he describes his recovery as progressing well, saying he feels “everything is in a pretty good spot right now.” The report frames his comeback as earlier than expected, based on the time he spent recovering and the timing of his return to the Dodgers. No additional details about restrictions or a specific role upon return are provided in the included summaries.
