According to manager Dave Roberts, Kiké Hernandez will be placed on the Injured List either tomorrow or Monday. As Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times mentions, Gavin Lux is not an option to replace him on the roster.
Hernandez injured his wrist/hand on a swing a few nights ago.

It will be interesting to see who comes up to take Hernandez’s spot on the roster as the current position player corps is pretty strong at Triple-A Oklahoma City. With Lux not an option, it could end up being Kyle Garlick or someone of that ilk.
What is interesting, though, is that the club is opting to wait until possibly Monday to get a fresh bat up. With the trade deadline looming, there could be implications there.
Hernandez, 27, holds just a 95 wRC+ on the year, but since July 1: 163 wRC+ and .352 batting average.
