Teoscar Hernandez

Teoscar Hernández capitalized on his contract year with an impressive season. The 32-year-old joined the Dodgers and filled their need for a right-handed power bat to complement the top of their lineup. He delivered 33 home runs, 99 RBIs, 84 runs scored, and 12 stolen bases while slashing .272/.339/.501. Hernández continued to dominate left-handed pitching, hitting .290 against southpaws. However, his strikeout rate remained elevated at 28.8%, though his power mitigates some of the downside. Now that he is returning to L.A. to continue batting in the middle of the best order in baseball, Hernandez offers a solid return as an OF2/OF3 in fantasy.

Teoscar Hernandez agrees to three-year, $66 million deal with Dodgers

Teoscar Hernandez has agreed to a three-year, $66 million deal to return to the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Fantasy Impact

The deal also includes a $15 million option for a fourth year and around $23 million in deferred money. Hernandez returns to the Dodgers coming off one of his best years in the majors, hitting .272 with 33 home runs and a 134 wRC+. He should slot in as their everyday right fielder.
