Los Angeles Dodgers right fielder Teoscar Hernandez has decided against defending his Home Run Derby championship during the All-Star break this season. Hernandez won the Home Run Derby in his first appearance in 2024 and beat out the Kansas City Royals’ Bobby Witt Jr. in the final round for the crown. “With the injury that I had earlier this year, I don’t want to risk anything,” said Hernandez. Hernandez suffered a groin injury on May 6 and landed on the 10-day injured list.
