Fills in at shortstop Hernandez moved from center field to shortstop in the eighth inning Friday after Xander Bogaerts exited Boston's 7-3 win over the Mariners with a back injury.

Impact Hernandez filled in because Christian Arroyo was unavailable, after he started in right field but was replaced by the defensively superior Jackie Bradley a the start of the seventh inning. If Bogaerts is required to miss any time, Arroyo will likely fill in while Hernandez maintains his primary role as the team's starting center fielder.

On base four times Hernandez went 1-for-2 with two walks, was hit by a pitch and scored a run in Friday's 7-1 win over Texas.

Impact Hernandez remained in the leadoff spot despite a .232 on base percentage and reached base four times. After losing the leadoff job, manager Alex Cora returned him to the top spot four games ago. He was 0-for-13 with one walk over the first three of those contests. Hernandez also made a diving catch in right-center, robbing Nick Solak of extra bases in the bottom of the third inning after Boston had taken a 1-0 lead in the top half of the frame.

Back in leadoff spot Hernandez batted leadoff and went 0-for-5 with a run scored in Tuesday's 9-4 win over Atlanta.

Impact Hernandez, who opened the season as Boston's leadoff hitter, returned to the role that last two games. Trevor Story had been leading off, but a recent slump moved him down the order to sixth. Hernandez is in a prolonged season-opening slump and is batting .168 with a high-water mark of .200 on April 29. He's hitless in eight at-bats with a walk in the two games since returning to the top of the order.

Batting sixth in return Hernandez is starting Saturday's game against the White Sox.

Impact Hernandez was activated following a brief stint on the COVID-19 injured list, and he'll start in center field and bat sixth Saturday. The 30-year-old is hitting just .189 with a homer, 12 runs and 12 RBI this year, but he'll serve as Boston's primary center fielder now that he's back to full health.

Reinstated from COVID-19 IL Hernandez (illness) was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list Saturday.

Impact Although Hernandez had been feeling under the weather lately, he didn't test positive for COVID-19 and will now rejoin the team following a brief absence. He'll reclaim his role as Boston's primary center fielder after Jarren Duran was optioned to Triple-A Worcester. Hernandez has reached base in 11 of his last 12 games and has hit .227 with two doubles, eight RBI and three runs during that time.

Placed on COVID-19 IL Hernandez (illness) was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Friday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Red Sox said Thursday that Hernandez has tested negative for COVID-19, but he's away from the team and will land on the injured list. He'll be eligible to return as soon as he clears the league's protocols, but Jarren Duran was called up to take his place on the active roster, and the prospect will start in center field and lead off Friday against the White Sox.

May move to injured list Hernandez (illness) has tested negative for COVID-19 but remains away from the team and could be placed on the injured list, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact Hernandez sat out Thursday's matchup with the Angels since he's feeling under the weather, and he could be looking at a multi-game absence. Prospect Jarren Duran is heading to Boston to join the big-league club, and Hernandez moving to the COVID-19 IL would make sense as a corresponding move to free up a roster spot.

Sitting with illness Hernandez isn't starting Thursday against the Angels since he's feeling sick, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact The Red Sox are hopeful that Hernandez's sickness is unrelated to COVID-19, but he'll be out of the lineup for at least one game as a precautionary measure. It's not yet clear whether he'll be an option off the bench, but Jackie Bradley will shift to center field while Franchy Cordero starts in right.

Not starting Thursday Hernandez will hit the bench Thursday against the Angels, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact Hernandez sits for just the second time this season. He's gotten off to a poor start at the plate, hitting just .189/.262/.567 with one homer in 24 games. Jackie Bradley slides to center field in his absence, with Franchy Cordero starting in right.

Down in order again Hernandez batted fifth and went 1-for-3 with two RBI in Tuesday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Blue Jays.

Impact Hernandez had a run-producing sacrifice fly in the fourth inning and singled in another during a four-run rally in the eighth inning, an encouraging sign for a team that has been unable to post a crooked number of late. For Hernandez, who opened the season as Boston's leadoff hitter, this was the fifth time in the last six games he has not been atop the order. Trevor Story has filled that role instead.

Gets first day off Hernandez will get his first day off of the season Thursday against the Blue Jays.

Impact Trevor Story will ascend to the leadoff spot while Jackie Bradley gets the start in center field and Christian Arroyo starts in right field. Hernandez is hitting .157/.246/.333 with one home run and a 12:6 K:BB in 51 at-bats.

Another pair of hits Hernandez went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a double, two RBI and two runs scored Wednesday against the Tigers.

Impact Hernandez began the season hitless across his first four games, but he has now tallied multiple knocks in consecutive starts. He got Boston on the board with a solo home run in the third inning before delivering an RBI double one frame later. Hernandez remains a fixture as the leadoff hitter in a strong Red Sox lineup, which should help him rack up runs scored if he can continue to reach base consistently.

APRIL 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Snaps drought Hernandez went 2-for-4 with a walk, two doubles, an RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Tigers.

Impact Hernandez's stretch of futility went from 17 at-bats without a hit to 19, before his sixth-inning double plated Boston's first run. He later walked and came around to score on a Rafael Devers single. The 30-year-old center fielder is one of several scuffling members of the Red Sox, but the team's nine hits and three extra-base hits might wake up what should be a potent lineup.

APRIL 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Still leading off despite slump Hernandez will start in center field and bat leadoff in Tuesday's game against the Tigers, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact Hernandez has led off in each of the Red Sox's five games to date, but manager Alex Cora could adjust the lineup if the 30-year-old's ongoing slump continues much longer. He's hitless through 17 at-bats and has walked just twice, resulting in Hernandez carrying a .105 on-base average into Tuesday's contest.
