Dodgers' Enrique Hernandez: Excused from team

Hernandez has been excused from the team for the time being to attend to a personal matter, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

Hernandez's grandfather passed away, so the team has allowed him to return to Puerto Rico to be with his family. It remains to be seen when he will be ready to return to the team, and who will fill his role in his absence.
