Kiké Hernández to miss Dodgers' White House visit due to injury

Summary

Kiké Hernández will not accompany the Dodgers to the White House on July 23 to celebrate their 2025 World Series title due to a strained left oblique. Instead, he is scheduled for a minor-league rehab assignment. Hernández indicated he would likely not attend even if he were active, preferring to take a day off over participating in team activities. The White House visit is part of a nine-game East Coast trip for the Dodgers, and coach Dave Roberts anticipates most players will attend the event, which was rescheduled due to previous scheduling conflicts.
