The Los Angeles Dodgers opted to remove Teoscar Hernández early from the game against the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday. With the Dodgers holding a 6-4 lead entering the seventh inning, manager Dave Roberts pulled Hernández in favor of Chris Taylor.
Roberts was actually considering having Hernández get a rest day during the team’s series against the Colorado Rockies. Hernández has yet to get a full day off this season, but has pulled from multiple games early to help his endurance for the season.
“Coming into this series, I was considering giving him a day off,” Roberts said, via Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times … “I felt like having CT out there to give Teo a few innings off his feet could be beneficial going into a day game [on Thursday],” Roberts said, noting that Hernández “could help us win a game tomorrow.
