Hits RBI double Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a double, a bases-loaded walk and a run scored in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Twins.

Tallies three singles Hernandez went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Thursday's 6-3 loss to New York.

Impact The second baseman has offered little to Cleveland's offense in his 65 at-bats, hitting .200 with just three extra-base hits and three RBI. Home runs have kept the Indians afloat, offensively, but Hernandez has only contributed one in that department. The lack of better options presumes to keep Hernandez near the top of the lineup for the foreseeable future, although he'll only offer fantasy value if his offense takes considerable strides forward.

Goes yard in big win Hernandez went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 11-3 win over the Tigers.

Impact Hernandez took Tigers starter Tarik Skubal deep in the third inning to put Cleveland ahead 3-0. The homer was Hernandez's first of the year. He's off to a slow start at the dish, hitting .185/.290/.370 with one homer, one RBI and four runs scored in seven games. The 30-year-old remains Cleveland's primary second baseman, but he could be challenged for playing time by Amed Rosario if his hitting struggles persist.

Batting second in opener Hernandez will start at second base and bat second Thursday in Detroit.

Impact Hernandez made 43 of his 57 starts out of the leadoff spot in 2020, but he'll cede table-setting duties to the righty-swinging Jordan Luplow, who gets the nod against Tigers lefty Matthew Boyd. Luplow is uncertain to be a fixture in the lineup versus right-handed pitching, so Hernandez could end up getting the larger share of starts atop the order if manager Terry Francona opts to take a platoon approach to the leadoff spot.
