teoscar hernández was not in the Los Angeles Dodgers lineup on Saturday (confirmed). The Dodgers had beaten the Washington Nationals 13-6 on Friday (confirmed). Hernández’s absence removes a hitter who has homered against Nationals right-hander Jake Irvin in his career (confirmed).
Dodgers lineup vs Nationals
The 13-6 victory on Friday featured homers from Shohei Ohtani, Kyle Tucker, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman, and Andy Pages also added a home run as the Dodgers scored 13 runs (confirmed). That offensive outburst came the day before the lineup card without Hernández was posted for Saturday.
Jake Irvin career statistics vs Dodgers
Jake Irvin opened 2026 with five innings against the Chicago Cubs, allowing two runs on three hits with seven strikeouts (confirmed). Irvin’s 2025 totals included a league-worst 114 earned runs and 38 home runs, and he posted a 5.70 ERA across 180 innings pitched (confirmed). In six career starts against the Dodgers Irvin has a 4.64 ERA, and Teoscar Hernández, Andy Pages and Will Smith all have home runs against Irvin in their careers (confirmed).
Tyler Glasnow 2026 debut details
On Friday Tyler Glasnow made his 2026 debut, pitching six innings and allowing two runs on four hits while striking out six in a 3-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks (confirmed). Glasnow made 18 regular season starts in 2025 and finished that year with a 3.19 ERA and 106 strikeouts over 90.1 innings pitched (confirmed).
For fans and roster watchers, the immediate change is concrete: teoscar hernández did not start Saturday against the Nationals and his absence removes a batter who has produced power specifically against Jake Irvin. That pairing — Hernández versus Irvin — will be the specific matchup missing from Saturday’s game, and Hernández’s playing status will be the detail to track next for Dodgers lineups and national-telecast previews.
