Dodgers Outright Yonny Hernández

By Leo Morgenstern | September 1, 2023 at 5:17pm CDT

The Dodgers have sent infielder Yonny Hernández outright to Triple-A, the team announced. The move opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for second baseman Kolten Wong, who had his contract selected from Triple-A Oklahoma City this afternoon.

Wong signed a minor league deal with the Dodgers in mid-August, two weeks after he was released by the Mariners. He struggled tremendously during his time in Seattle, posting an uncharacteristically poor .468 OPS in 67 games. However, he has gone 7-for-16 with two doubles and a home run in five minor league games since joining the Dodgers organization. With active rosters expanding to 28 in September, the Dodgers have decided to give the veteran a try.

Hernández came to L.A. this past offseason in a trade with the Athletics. He has been recalled and subsequently optioned twice this year and has appeared in a total of 14 games for the big league club. The 25-year-old earned his second call-up in late June, when utility man Chris Taylor landed on the injured list. He stuck around for a month, slashing .143/.240/.190, until the Dodgers traded for Enrique Hernandez and Amed Rosario at the trade deadline. He has been playing at Triple-A ever since.

With such little MLB service time under his belt and no previous outrights in his career, Hernández was not able to reject the assignment. He will continue to play for the Triple-A Oklahoma City Dodgers. However, he will have the opportunity to elect minor league free agency this offseason if he is not added back to the 40-man roster.

    I just want to say, since this involves the Dodgers, that Mookie Betts is probably, overall, the actual best ballplayer (non-pitcher) in MLB, by a good margin. Dude wins, plays smart, utilizes his talent well, guy you build a team around, sure-shot Hall-of-Famer, FAR better that all the stars people around here generally lust after.

        we’ll see – so far, way worse defense overall, better bat in post-season, steals a lot of bases but that will probably drop off 2 or 3 years from now, needs another 4 years of this kind of production to be in the Mookie conversation. Both of them are being trotted out everyday by championship organizations, and that counts for a lot.

          Ronnie’s got it. Both elite ball players. Betts has a record that hasn’t been achieved since 2017. Acuna has a record that has never been achieved.

      I think Acuña is better, but an argument could be made for either one. However, to say Betts is the best player “by a good margin” is just plain delusional and moronic.

    like Yonny’s chances of hitting baseballs a little better than Kike’s these days
