SAN DIEGO — The Indians and Twins are in Puerto Rico to play two regular season games at Hiram Bithorn Stadium in San Juan on Tuesday and Wednesday, which hasn’t gone unnoticed by the Dodgers’ Kiké Hernandez, who was born in San Juan.
“I’m not going to lie, I’m a little bit jealous,” he said.
Hernandez is one of 19 major leaguers born in Puerto Rico who were on opening day rosters. Among that group are Francisco Lindor and Roberto Perez of the Indians, and Eddie Rosario and Jose Berrios of the Twins, who are playing in their home for a couple of days.
