On track for potential activation on Monday.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7uNOcb\">LOS ANGELES \u2014\u00a0Dodgers\u00a0outfielder Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez played four innings in right field for the Low-A Rancho Cucamonga Quakes, beginning a minor league rehab assignment against Inland Empire.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Txgkmh\">Hern\u00e1ndez was 0-for-1 at the plate with two walks and a strikeout in his first game action since May 5.<\/p>\n<p id=\"DKSs8c\">After a first-inning walk, Hern\u00e1ndez went first to third on a single to right field, then later scored easily on a wild pitch that caromed to the visitors dugout. Hern\u00e1ndez also walked in the second inning.<\/p>\n<p id=\"gknNrD\">In the fourth inning, Hern\u00e1ndez got to face another major league pitcher, but struck out against a rehabbing Robert Stephenson.<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-entry-content \">\n<p id=\"oEd51C\">The plan, if all goes well, is for Hern\u00e1ndez to be activated on Monday, when the Dodgers open a series against the\u00a0Diamondbacks\u00a0at Dodger Stadium. Whether he plays a second game on Sunday for the Quakes remains to be seen.<\/p>\n<p id=\"aVCTL9\">\u201cTomorrow is a day game, if he does play, he\u2019ll probably be DH, is my guess,\u201d Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Saturday afternoon. \u201cHe might choose not to play tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"SaeaCR\">While he hadn\u2019t played in any rehab games before Saturday, Hern\u00e1ndez has been facing live batting practice before games in each of the Dodgers\u2019 last three series, including\u00a0facing Emmet Sheehan twice\u00a0and facing prospect Maddux Bruns this week.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4FoJtq\">Hern\u00e1ndez, and fellow injured regular Tommy Edman have also been running and doing pregame drills for more than a week.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5kl35e\">Hern\u00e1ndez has been\u00a0sidelined since May 6 with a left groin strain. Sunday will mark his 12th game missed on the injured list.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"m-ad m-ad__dynamic_ad_unit mb-3 m-ad__desktop_article_body_failsafe\" data-concert-ads-name=\"desktop_article_body_failsafe\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-desktop_article_body_failsafe\" class=\"dynamic-js-slot up-show\" data-google-query-id=\"CJaM8cPMrI0DFXub2AUdXCErLg\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hern\u00e1ndez played four innings in right field on Saturday.
