Kiké Hernández is back with the Los Angeles Dodgers after undergoing offseason surgery on his elbow, according to multiple reports. The New York Post says Hernández returns to team activities and describes his recovery as he wakes up from the operation still under anesthetic effects, while recounting details of the injury and procedure. The Winnipeg Free Press similarly reports that Hernández has rejoined the Dodgers following his surgery. Both accounts frame the return as an important development for the club’s lineup and clubhouse, and both reference Hernández’s characteristic presence with a quoted nickname-like description of him as a “clown in the clubhouse.” While the accounts differ in emphasis—one focusing more on Hernández’s recollection immediately after surgery—the core information is consistent across sources: Hernández had elbow surgery in the offseason, he is now returning to the team, and he is resuming his role with the Dodgers after recovery.
