Dodgers Notes: All-Star to IL, Kiké Hernandez MRI Results, Hyeseong Kim Almost Optioned

The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Colorado Rockies, 4-1, on Wednesday night as they swept the divisional foes and notched their fifth consecutive win.

Superstar Shohei Ohtani delivered six hitless innings and struck out seven as he heads into June with a 0.82 ERA.

At the plate, Ohtani started things off with a leadoff home run that left his bat at 111.3 mph, while Freddie Freeman hit a long ball of his own later in the first inning.

Alex Call singled in a run in the bottom of the fourth and an Andy Pages solo shot in the eighth inning put the game even further out of reach.

Tanner Scott lost the team's combined no-hitter attempt with two outs in the eighth inning.

Unfortunately, Teoscar Hernández had to leave the eventual victory early with a left hamstring strain. The Dodgers are planning on moving him to the injured list with an MRI scheduled for Thursday.

In other news, Kiké Hernández's MRI results showed a "significant tear" in his oblique after he left Tuesday's contest early, just his second appearance of 2026 after recovering from an offseason elbow surgery. In a corresponding move, Alex Freeland was called up from Triple-A after hitting .235 in his 33 games at the major league level to start the year.

Finally, it was revealed that the Dodgers had considered optioning Hyeseong Kim before Hernández went on the IL. Manager Dave Roberts recently spoke on Kim's rough patch, but with the fan favorite Hernández heading back to the injured list, it appears Kim is staying in the majors for the near future.

“He’s back to chasing,” Roberts said. “He’s passive when he shouldn’t be, and then he’s getting into bad counts. I don’t know if it’s a mechanical thing. But he’s been grinding the last — quite honestly, the last month it’s been kind of tough for him.”

Teoscar Hernández has a left hamstring strain. We'll see if he has to go on the injured list.

If he does, Alex Call would get more playing time. Hyeseong Kim appears to be an outfield option, too.

"Sho gave us a great start... Then handed it over to the bullpen. I thought Klein was great, Scott was great, then Kyle Hurt picking up his first save was awesome."

54 XBH, a BB% approaching 19%, and a 1.060 OPS in 100 games is insane. He's a natural pure hitter. pic.twitter.com/T7b42GY8mK
