Enrique Hernández: Everything you need to know

Hernandez (elbow) will kick of a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports. Hernandez is set for his first game action since undergoing surgery on his left elbow last November. The super-utility man is currently on the 60-day IL and isn't eligible to be activated until May 24, and there seems to be a good chance that he'll be ready to join the big-league Dodgers on that day. In his initial rehab appearance Tuesday, Hernandez is playing third base and batting second for OKC.

Hernandez (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment this week, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports. Hernandez is working his way back from surgery on his left (non-throwing) elbow. He is on the 60-day injured list and not eligible to return until May 24, but all signs point to him being activated that day. Once he does make it back, Hernandez will be deployed by the Dodgers against left-handed pitching.

Hernandez (elbow) took on-field batting practice at Dodger Stadium on Saturday, Jack Harris of the California Post reports. Hernandez underwent left elbow surgery in mid-November and is currently on the 60-day IL. Manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that the utility man is progressing well and indicated that he would be "shocked" if Hernandez isn't ready to return when first eligible. Once he's activated, Hernandez isn't likely to be an everyday player, but he'll give the Dodgers positional versatility with his ability to play nearly everywhere in the infield and outfield.
