Teoscar Hernández is back with the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday night but out of the lineup for a second straight game.
Hernández missed his first game of the season on Monday due to what Dodgers manager Dave Roberts called “personal reasons.” On Tuesday, Hernández told Mike DiGiovanna the reason he was gone.
Hernández said he went home to the Dominican Republic to be with his family following the death of his 94-year-old grandfather. Hernández’s grandfather died on Sunday. He was “a huge baseball fan” according to Hernández.
Hernández is back with the team on Tuesday, but won’t be in the starting lineup.
