Dodgers get their 'clown in the clubhouse' back as Kiké Hernández returns from surgery

The Los Angeles Dodgers have Kiké Hernández back in action. He went 2 for 2 with a RBI double in his season debut against the Colorado Rockies, playing third base in place of injured Max Muncy. The Dodgers rallied for a 5-3 win. Hernández missed the first 53 games recovering from elbow surgery. Manager Dave Roberts praised his energy and toughness, noting that few understood the severity of his injury. Hernández played through pain last season, helping the Dodgers win their second consecutive World Series. He signed a $4.5 million, one-year contract in February to return for his 10th season in Los Angeles.
