Already without Chris Taylor because of a fractured left forearm, the Los Angeles Dodgers lost another versatile piece when a left hand sprain forced Kiké Hernandez to the 10-day injured list as well.
Add to it that David Freese remains sidelined by left hamstring trouble that is keeping him out until September, and the Dodgers suddenly faced some depth concerns on the position-player side. They addressed that by acquiring Tyler White and Kristopher Negrón before the July 31 trade deadline.
After Hernandez and Taylor made progress in their respective recoveries, they advanced to beginning rehab assignments.
