The Los Angeles Dodgers are bringing back one of their former players ahead of the trade deadline.
The Dodgers have acquired utility man Enrique Hernandez in a trade with the Boston Red Sox, according to multiple reports.
Hernandez, 31, spent six seasons with the Dodgers from 2015-20 and was a member of their 2020 World Series-winning team. He was beloved by Dodgers fans for his style of play and clutch hitting in the postseason. Hernandez hit a game-tying solo home run in Game 7 of the NLCS, and the Dodgers went on to win that deciding game en route to a championship.
Hernandez was in his third season with the Red Sox. While he is hitting just .222 in 86 games, he has always been solid against left-handed pitching. Hernandez has spent most of the season at shortstop but can also play second base and outfield.
The Dodgers entered Tuesday with a record of 57-42 and in first place in the NL West. They are hoping Hernandez can provide the same type of postseason spark for them that he did three years ago.
