Los Angeles Dodgers star Teoscar Hernandez suffered a hamstring injury during the team's 4-1 victory against the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday night. With Hernandez expected to land on the injured list , Los Angeles is reportedly promoting outfielder Ryan Ward in a corresponding move, according to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic.

Ward, 28, has appeared in two total MLB games in his career. Both of those contests have come during the 2026 season. He has appeared in 47 games so far in 2026 at the Triple-A level. Ward has recorded a .254/.379/.418 slash line up to this point at Triple-A this season. He has six home runs and nine doubles as well.

Ward could certainly make an impact. He has displayed signs of potential at Triple-A. Nevertheless, Hernandez will be missed in the Dodgers' lineup amid his injury absence.

The 33-year-old outfielder has hit .276/.348/.436 in 51 games played this year. Hernandez has also hit seven home runs and eight doubles. He has been one of the more consistent hitters in the Dodgers lineup.

It remains to be seen how much time he will end up missing with the injury. The Dodgers will monitor and provide updates on Hernandez's injury status as they are made available.

Overall, Los Angeles has earned five consecutive victories. The ball club most recently swept the Rockies in a three-game series.

They have an off day on Thursday before beginning a three-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday. First pitch for the ball game on Friday night is scheduled for 10:15 PM EST in Los Angeles.
