Although the Los Angeles Dodgers' trade deadline day was rather quiet, new addition Kiké Hernández played a significant role in their 7-3 victory over the Oakland Athletics.

Dodgers fans were excited to see Hernandez's performance in the game and have flooded social media with comments for the star player.

"It’s like he never left," wrote one user while the other commented: "We live for his energy! HE’S BACK!"
