Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez will undergo an MRI on his left hamstring Tuesday, one day after he exited in the fourth inning of his team's 7-4 victory against the Miami Marlins.

"He's a guy that just doesn't come out of games by way of injury," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. "That's a little concerning given the person."

Hernandez had an RBI double in the first inning and a single in the third. Roberts said Hernandez experienced tightness in his leg while catching a ball in the right-center field gap in the third inning. That play led to Roberts replacing Hernandez with Chris Taylor in the fourth.

Hernandez, 32, is batting .315 with a team co-leading nine homers to go along with a majors-best 34 RBIs in 33 games this season.

He hit 33 home runs with 99 RBIs in his first season in Los Angeles in 2024 and helped the team win the World Series.
