Los Angeles Dodgers utilityman Kiké Hernández went on the injured list with left elbow inflammation and outfielder James Outman got called up from the minors among a series of moves the NL West leaders made before opening a series with the Milwaukee Brewers.

Dodgers utilityman Kiké Hernández went on the injured list with left elbow inflammation and outfielder James Outman got called up from the minors among a series of moves.

Hernandez suffered the injury on a play during the Dodgers’ series in Cleveland six weeks ago and had been trying to play through it. He hit .136 in 29 games after suffering the injury.

Turning to the final leg of this SGP, Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich is having an excellent season against righties with a .381 wOBA, .253 ISO, and .894 OPS. He’s also dialed in at the dish with a 26-for-72 stretch (.361 batting average) and at least one hit in 17 of his past 18 contests.

Against three MVPs and a nasty crowd of hateful boo birds, the walking-wounded, quad A Astros came into Los Angeles and dominated the Dodgers, taking three straight. They outscored the boys in blue 29-6 in the series.
