Dodgers manager values Hernández's bat and versatility despite defensive issues, with front office prioritizing outfield evaluation but not a trade, officials said.

  • Roberts emphasized his trust in Hernández while noting flexibility, saying the Dodgers roster is very confident with no major moves planned but Hernández could occasionally shift to left field.
