ELIESER HERNÁNDEZ NEWS

Confirmed for Monday's start Hernandez (forearm) will start Monday against Anaheim, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Hernandez was forced to exit his final start of spring training prematurely after he was hit in his throwing arm by a line drive. However, the issue won't cost him any time to begin the regular season. Hernandez has regularly been sidelined by injury early in his career, though he has shown significant promise across the last two campaigns by posting an 87:19 K:BB across a combined 77.1 frames.

Escapes with bruised forearm Hernandez was diagnosed with a bruised right forearm after he exited Tuesday's Grapefruit League start against the Cardinals, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Hernandez was fortunate to avoid a more serious injury after his throwing arm was on the receiving end of a line drive off the bat of Tyler O'Neill that had an exit velocity of more than 105 miles per hour. Assuming Hernandez isn't dealing with too much soreness from the bruised arm during a scheduled bullpen session later in the week, he should still be part of the Marlins' season-opening rotation. Hernandez was tentatively lined up to start the Marlins' third game of the season Sunday in San Francisco, but he could be pushed to the back of the rotation order if manager Don Mattingly wants to give the right-hander more time to heal up.

Impact Facing his third batter of the day, O'Neill scorched a ball up the middle at 105.4 mph that caromed off Hernandez to third baseman Brian Anderson. The pitcher was immediately evaluated by a trainer and removed from the game. Hernandez is projected for a spot at the back of the Marlins' rotation to begin the season and was having a good spring, but as yet there's no word on the severity this injury.

Dealing to begin spring Hernandez gave up one hit and struck out three over three scoreless innings in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals.

Impact He entered the game in the fourth inning after Trevor Rogers got the start, and Hernandez promptly fanned Nolan Arenado to begin his day. The 26-year-old right-hander has yet to allow a run so far this spring and has a 6:0 K:BB through five innings as he looks to establish himself as a reliable arm at the back of the Marlins' talent-laden rotation.

Signs one-year deal Hernandez and the Marlins agreed to terms on a one-year, $1.325 million contract Tuesday, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Hernandez gets a raise in his first year of arbitration eligibility despite the fact that he's coming off an injury-filled year. Biceps and quad injuries sent him to the 60-day injured list twice, but he recorded a respectable 4.18 ERA in 11 starts when healthy.

Solid in no-decision Hernandez didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Mets, giving up two runs on six hits over five innings. He struck out six without walking a batter.

Impact The right-hander exited the game after an efficient 65 pitches (48 strikes), but he was on the hook for his fourth loss until the Marlins rallied for three runs in the eighth inning. Hernandez will wrap up an injury-truncated season with a 4.18 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 53:14 K:BB through 51.2 innings, and barring some radical changes to Miami's roster, Hernandez should head into spring training next year as a favorite for a rotation spot.

Plagued by homers in loss Hernandez (1-3) took the loss Wednesday against Washington, yielding four runs on seven hits and two walks over four innings. He had seven strikeouts.

Impact The long ball was a problem for Hernandez, who was taken deep by Yadiel Hernandez, Juan Soto and Luis Garcia and trailed 4-0 after throwing his 78th and final pitch in the fourth inning. Since joining the rotation in mid-August, Hernandez has logged a 4.72 ERA and 34:13 K:BB over 34.1 innings in his seven starts. He's slated for a road matchup with the Mets in his next scheduled start.

Walks five in loss Hernandez (1-2) allowed two unearned runs on four hits and five walks over 5.2 innings Friday, striking out three and taking a loss against Pittsburgh.

Impact Hernandez allowed a run in the first inning on a fielding error by Jazz Chisholm and another in the sixth after a passed ball. Despite walking a career-high five batters, the 26-year-old actually lowered his ERA to 3.59 through 42.2 innings. Hernandez had walked just five batters through 19.1 innings in his previous four starts. He's lined up to face the Nationals at home next week.

Struggles in Saturday's start Hernandez completed 4.2 innings against Atlanta on Saturday, allowing three runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out four. He did not factor in the decision.

Impact Miami's offense provided Hernandez a three-run lead after two innings, and the right-hander kept Atlanta off the scoreboard through four frames. However, things fell apart for Hernandez in the fifth frame, as he surrendered three straight two-out hits that plated a trio of runs and led to his removal. While he didn't give up any long balls for the first time in seven starts this season, the seven hits Hernandez surrendered tied his season-worst mark. The 26-year-old is tentatively scheduled to make his next start at home versus Pittsburgh on Friday.

Fans six in no-decision Hernandez didn't factor into the decision Sunday against Philadelphia after allowing three runs on three hits and a walk across five innings, striking out six.

Impact Hernandez had issues with the long ball once again after allowing two homers, and he has given up at least one bomb in each of his six appearances this season and posting a career-worst 2.5 HR/9 thus far. He has also given up multiple runs in each of his last three outings and has yet to record a quality start, but he has limited the damage most of the time and still owns a 3.90 ERA through 32.1 innings this year. He also sports a strong 9.2 K/9, making it the third year in a row in which he has posted a 9.0 K/9 or higher.
