Teoscar Hernández has been activated from the injured list, returning to the Los Angeles Dodgers' lineup after a left groin strain sidelined him since May 6. Prior to his injury, he was having an excellent season, batting .315 with a league-leading 34 RBIs. His return comes at a crucial time as the Dodgers are in a tight race for the top spot in the National League West, leading the San Diego Padres and San Francisco Giants by just one game.

Due to Hernández's activation, James Outman has been demoted to Triple-A Oklahoma City after struggling at the plate. The Dodgers also made other roster moves, opting to retain utilityman Hyeseong Kim over veteran Chris Taylor. Manager Dave Roberts plans to utilize multiple outfielders, including Tommy Edman and Enrique Hernández, in varied roles to maintain freshness in the lineup amidst a grueling schedule.
