The Los Angeles Dodgers will place outfielder Teoscar Hernandez on the injured list with a left hamstring strain and recall infielder/outfielder Ryan Ward from Triple-A Oklahoma City, multiple outlets reported Thursday.

Hernandez was injured Wednesday while running out a ground ball in the second inning against the Colorado Rockies.

The Dodgers are expected to use a platoon in left field moving forward between the left-handed hitting Ward and the right-handed Alex Call. Utility man Hyeseong Kim replaced Hernandez in left field Wednesday.

Hernandez, 33, is batting .276 with seven home runs and 31 RBIs in 51 games this season and was particularly hot of late, batting .375 with three home runs over his past 14 games.

The two-time All-Star is a career .261 hitter with 224 home runs and 692 RBIs in 1,150 career games over 11 seasons with the Houston Astros (2016-17), Toronto Blue Jays (2017-22), Seattle Mariners (2023) and Dodgers.

Ward, 28, made his major league debut in April and went 2-for-6 over two games while Freddie Freeman was on the paternity list.

The former eighth-round draft pick is batting .254 with six home runs and 31 RBIs in 47 games at Triple-A, after hitting 36 home runs with 122 RBIs with Oklahoma City last season. Ward has 156 home runs over seven minor league seasons.
