Hernandez has had a bit of a down season for the Dodgers in 2026. In 96 games this season with Los Angeles, he has recorded 11 home runs, 44 RBI, and a .244 batting average. This is after the two-time All-Star recorded 25 home runs and 89 RBI in 134 games for Los Angeles during this past season.
Overall, Hernandez’s power numbers have been down a bit this season, but there is still time for him to pick it up during this final stretch of the season. It will be interesting to see how much of an impact he can make once he returns to the Dodgers’ lineup from here.
