Max Muncy keeps hitting, Kiké Hernández feeling healthy

It’s not so much that he’s found a new gear; you’d have a hard time differentiating between his 2025 and 2026 component statistics. That’s basically my point, though. What he’s doing isn’t surprising, because he’s made it commonplace. He’s hit more or less like this for a decade. Kiké Hernández has played six games so far on his rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City, including three games this week in Albuquerque. Hernández talked to Geoff Grammer at the Albuquerque Journal about several topics, but also his health relative to last season: “I knew it was going to be a long rehab. And even though I’m ahead of schedule, it still feels like it’s forever, because it’s the first time in my entire career that I missed spring training and I missed Opening Day,” said Hernández. “… Last year was miserable, you know? Not only performance wise, but I was just in a lot of pain every time I took the field. So I’m just happy that I’m pain free right now.” The public comment process for the Dodger Stadium gondola project is exceedingly difficult to navigate, chronicled by Martín Macías Jr. at LA Public Press. Former major league outfielder and current ESPN broadcaster Doug Glanville wrote about his time guest-hosting ‘This Week in Baseball’ while with the Philadelphia Phillies in 2000, at his Welcome to Glanville newsletter. “The show took viewers around baseball without heavy bias toward one particular market,” Glanville wrote. “It simply made you love baseball wherever, and whenever, it was being played.”
