Ko (quadriceps) is 7-for-16 with two home runs, six RBI and five runs scored in four games since being activated from the 7-day injured list Friday.
Ko began the 2026 season on the 7-day injured list after picking up a quadriceps injury, but he's been seeing the ball well at Single-A Ontario. He's already recorded a pair of home runs after hitting four home runs a season ago across 85 games.

Single-A Ontario placed Ko on the 7-day injured list April 2 with a quadriceps injury, Jim Callis of MLB Pipeline reports.
Callis reports that Ko is getting extra reps in Arizona before heading to Ontario by the end of April. Ching dominated the Arizona Complex League (175 wRC+) but his power dried up after a promotion to Single-A, where he hit .219 with zero home runs and one steal in 32 games to close last season.

Dodgers' Ching-Hsien Ko: Best hitter in Arizona
Rotowire
Ko slashed .310/.437/.439 with four home runs, six steals, a 17 percent walk rate and a 19.8 percent strikeout rate in 85 games across the Arizona Complex League and Cal League.
The lefty-hitting Ko, who turned 19 in August, signed with the Dodgers for $650,000 in June of 2024 out of Taiwan. He had a brief, but impressive, debut in the Dominican Summer League last year (149 wRC+ in nine games) and was even better in the ACL this summer, slashing .367/.487/.539 and comfortably leading the league with a 171 wRC+. All four of Ko's homers came in rookie ball, and he has managed just five extra-base hits in 32 games for Single-A Rancho Cucamonga. Ko should return to the Quakes next year with a chance for a midseason promotion to High-A.
