Latest update on Teoscar Hernández's injury
Teoscar Hernández suffered an injury May 5, in a game against the Miami Marlins. He felt tightness in the left hamstring and adductor while running after a fly ball. The Dodgers put him on the 10-day injured list because an MRI revealed a Grade 1 adductor strain. Manager Dave Roberts called it a concern, saying that Hernández would require weeks to recuperate and rehab before coming back.
In his return match against the Arizona Diamondbacks on May 11, Hernández went 0-for-4 but still managed an RBI; it could be that he was still working to get back in form. No new injuries were reported as of June 1, 2025 and the Dodgers still chose not to reveal his status for June 2 at that time. The Dodgers would probably decide his status as close as possible to the game time, according to the recovery being more important than his character in the team.

Why Teoscar Hernández matters against the Yankees
Teoscar Hernández often plays well against the Yankees, so fans want him to play. Last June, he hit a big two-run double on June 7 and two home runs, including a grand slam, on June 8, helping the Dodgers win in New York. He also hit .350 in the 2024 World Series against the Yankees, showing he's awesome in big games. His strong hits could test Yankees pitcher Luis Gil, who has a good 1.82 ERA.
If Hernández can't play at 7:10 PM ET on June 2, players like Andy Pages or James Outman might step up, but they don't have his experience. The Dodgers, with a 24-11 record as of May 6, 2025, need his hitting, since Tommy Edman is out with an ankle injury. Hernández hit 33 home runs in 2024 and won the Home Run Derby. His three-run homer against Arizona on May 11 shows he's getting strong. The Yankees are tough with Aaron Judge's 23 home runs, so Hernández could help the Dodgers win this fun game.
