Kiké Hernández reflects on recovery before Dodgers return

Kiké Hernández returned to the Los Angeles Dodgers after recovering from a torn oblique suffered earlier in the season. He expressed the emotional struggle of his recovery journey, which included a panic attack following an MRI that revealed a Grade 3 strain. Despite initial fears of needing surgery, Hernández found relief in the stem-cell injections that aided his return. Dodgers' manager Dave Roberts indicated that Hernándes' playing times may not be steady initially due to matchups with left-handed pitchers but he is expected to fill various positions in upcoming games. Hernández's return could impact team decisions ahead of the Trade Deadline.
