Dodgers utility man Kiké Hernández is expected to be out six to eight weeks due to a significant left oblique tear, confirmed by an MRI after he left Tuesday’s game. In his absence, infielder Alex Freeland has been called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City and will primarily fill in, while Hyeseong Kim will also share time. Hernández had recently returned from elbow surgery and was performing well before the injury. Manager Dave Roberts emphasized the need for Freeland to adapt quickly to Major League pitching.
