Enrique Hernández, a free-agent utility player most recently employed by the Los Angeles Dodgers , announced on his personal Instagram account on Saturday afternoon that he recently underwent surgery on his left elbow to repair an injury that had impacted him throughout the summer . Additionally, he conceded that his recovery will cause him to miss next spring's World Baseball Classic. He was supposed to suit up for Puerto Rico's team.

Hernández initially injured his elbow in May. Continuing to play through the malady resulted in him suffering a bone fracture, he said. Notably, he did not offer a timetable on his return other than saying it would cost him an appearance in what would have served as his third World Baseball Classic tournament.
