The Los Angeles Dodgers, in search of depth throughout their infield, reacquired superutilityman Enrique Hernandez from the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday, the teams announced.
Boston received right-handed reliever Nick Robertson -- who has thrown 10.1 innings in the majors this year -- and minor league right-hander Justin Hagenman from the Dodgers in the deal. Robertson was optioned to Triple A.
The Dodgers also received cash from Boston.
Hernandez, 31, can provide additional help to the Dodgers up the middle at second base, shortstop and center field, all areas of need to some degree for the NL West's best team (57-42).
