The slugger hit 240/.312/.425 with 68 home runs and 213 RBIs. As a utility player, he will provide the Dodgers with much value.This is a great move for Los Angeles. It does not break the bank for them; they get a player filling various field holes. While he has struggled over the last two seasons, the Dodgers believe they can turn him around.&quot;I know he hasn't been good this year, but this gets me so PUMPED,&quot; one fan tweeted.Yoni@yonimlbI know he hasn’t been good this year, but this gets me so PUMPED twitter.com/jeffpassan/sta…5I know he hasn’t been good this year, but this gets me so PUMPED twitter.com/jeffpassan/sta…&quot;The man, the myth, the legend is back,&quot; another fan tweeted.Dr. Rajpal Brar, DPT@3cbPerformanceThe man, the myth, the legend is back. #Dodgers twitter.com/jeffpassan/sta…61The man, the myth, the legend is back. #Dodgers twitter.com/jeffpassan/sta…EmpireJeff@EmpireJeff_This I love twitter.com/JeffPassan/sta…71This I love twitter.com/JeffPassan/sta…ThatOneChachi@CachorrosFan34and trading begins may the games begin yall twitter.com/jeffpassan/sta…and trading begins may the games begin yall twitter.com/jeffpassan/sta…Los Angeles Dodgers fans are excited to hear that Kiké Hernández is returning. While he has not had the season he hoped for so far, that is not all his fault.

Hernandez will likely be used against left-handed pitching, as that is one area the Dodgers struggle in.Los Angeles Dodgers know the player that Kiké Hernández can beLeague Championship Series - Los Angeles Dodgers v Chicago Cubs - Game FiveWhile the Los Angeles Dodgers look great, some holes exist in their armor. One of these is their continued struggles against left-handed pitching. Jason Hayword, Trayce Thompson, and David Peralta have all struggled. James Outman has seen more success than the others but is striking out at a 36% rate. Kiké Hernández could help in this regard.This may not be the Dodgers' only move before the trade deadline. Their starting rotation has not been the healthiest this season, and they will be without Dustin May for the remainder of the season. Do not be surprised if the Dodgers try to pick up an arm at the deadline.Los Angeles holds a four-game lead over the Arizona Diamondbacks and will look to keep up the pressure.
