Dodgers utility player Enrique Hernandez will likely be out for a few weeks, according to what manager Don Mattingly told the Los Angeles Times.

Hernandez, 24, suffered a hamstring injury on Sunday when running out a groundball. The second year big leaguer was starting to play more and more in the outfield but will be out until at least mid-September.

"Realistic" for Kike to miss a couple weeks, Mattingly said.

“I’ve never had any hamstring issues before, so I really don’t even know what I felt,” Hernandez told The LA Times.

In 2015, Hernandez has a .308 BA with 6 HR and 21 RBI over 71 games and 201 at-bats. It was a bad time to lose him because he had nine hits over his last 22 at-bats.

A struggling Joc Pederson will probably see more action in the outfield during Hernandez’s injury. Pederson landed on the All-Star team in his rookie season but now owns a struggling .211 BA with 23 HR and 47 RBI.
