Los Angeles Dodgers fans are patiently awaiting news on whether the utility star Enrique Hernandez will be on the field to face the New York Mets this very night at 10:10 p.m. ET. With the Dodgers embroiled in a big four-game series against the Mets at Dodger Stadium, Hernandez might swing the game one way or the other. His flexibility and postseason heroics have made him a fan favourite; however, these latest injuries are a real worry.
Enrique Hernandez's injury status remains uncertainEnrique Hernandez's playing status is still up in the air with respect to the Dodgers being scheduled to play also against the Mets, however it has given Dodgers fans jitters. Hernandez is very valuable and useful as he can play almost anywhere in the field. Hernandez did have his left hand hurt last July and missed some games because of that.

He has returned now, but recent news advises he is still feeling some discomfort. As of June 1, 2025, there is no reporting regarding additional injury, but the Dodgers are deliberately cautious to keep him ready and healthy.



The team's boss, Dave Roberts, hasn't said if Hernandez will play yet. They might decide just before the game starts. Hernandez is awesome in big games, hitting .294 in 14 playoff games in 2024. If he can't play, guys like Chris Taylor or Andy Pages might step in, but they don't play as many positions as Hernandez. Fans really hope he's ready because he brings lots of energy to the team.

Dodgers face Mets with depleted rosterThe Dodgers are in a tough spot with many players hurt, and Hernandez's absence makes it even tougher vs the Mets. The Mets lost to the Dodgers 7-5 on May 23, 2025, and they want to win this one. The Dodgers are missing Edman who has an ankle injury so everyone needs to step up. Hernandez is special because he can play 1st, 3rd, or outfield which helps when you're short on players.

The Dodgers pitchers are hurt too with Glasnow and Sasaki out. So the hitters need to do extra. Hernandez hit a huge homer in the 2024 playoffs, showing he's clutch. If he can't play tonight, the Dodgers might not be able to hold their division lead. Fans are hoping to get good news on Hernandez before the game tonight.
