The Dodgers activated utility player Kiké Hernandez from the disabled list today and optioned Austin Barnes to Triple-A Oklahoma City. Hernandez is in the Dodgers’ starting lineup and playing center field, manager Dave Roberts said.
Barnes went 1 for 4 with a double in his latest cup of coffee with the Dodgers, which consisted of four games.
