Story byTeoscar Hernández #37 of the Los Angeles Dodgers celebrates a double during the game against the Philadelphia Phillies at Dodger Stadium on September 16, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. (Ric Tapia - The Sporting Tribune)Adrian MedinaSat, January 17, 2026 at 5:53 PM UTC·3 min readLOS ANGELES -- After another splash made during the winter in acquiring the most coveted bat on the market in All-Star Kyle Tucker, the looming question that the Los Angeles Dodgers were immediately facing was the role that Teoscar Hernandez would play for 2026. According to reports from Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, he believes the Dodgers will keep Hernandez and position him to play left field, with Andy Pages manning center field and Tucker in right field. Even with the big splash they've made this winter, Los Angeles is still up and at it behind the scenes as they are potentially exploring trades for right-hander Bobby Miller and top prospect Ryan Ward to open up a spot on the 40-man roster for Tucker, Rosenthal reports. The landscape of Miller and Ward's usage for 2026 is bleak, with both players hardly used throughout the 2025 season to begin with.
