PHILADELPHIA —
Amid a dream start to his first season with the Dodgers, outfielder Teoscar Hernández had another wish granted Wednesday.
The veteran slugger will participate in next week’s Home Run Derby, after being officially announced Wednesday as part of the eight-man field.
After being named an All-Star for the second time in his career last week, Hernández voiced his interest in partaking in the Derby, which will take place Monday night at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.
