Eligibility
Elieser Hernandez took the loss Wednesday, allowing three earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out three over six innings against the Giants.
Fantasy Impact
Despite the loss, Hernandez showed some efficiency, managing a decent WHIP of 0.83 for the game, which aligns with his season performance. However, his low strikeout rate of 4.5 K/9 and a FIP of 4.92 suggest potential struggles ahead, particularly in terms of missing bats and managing hard contact. Fantasy managers should be cautious, as his low BABIP of .158 might indicate some luck that could regress to the mean, potentially affecting his ERA and WHIP adversely in future outings.
The Dodgers selected the contract of Elieser Hernandez from Triple-A Oklahoma City.
Fantasy Impact
Hernandez will draw the start on Wednesday in a planned bullpen game for the Dodgers. He will likely be optioned to bring up another fresh arm for the Dodgers’ next series.

The New York Mets have placed pitcher Elieser Hernandez on the injured list due to a right shoulder strain.
Fantasy Impact
Hernandez felt discomfort in his throwing shoulder late in camp and will begin the season on the IL despite returning to throwing already. The 27-year-old struggled mightily to a 6.35 ERA in 10 starts, 20 appearances, and 62 1/3 innings pitched with the Marlins last season. The owner of a career 5.04 ERA in parts of five seasons, Hernandez's stay on the IL isn't expected to be long.
