Steps out of lineup Hernandez is not in the lineup for Thursday's game at Pittsburgh, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.
Impact Hernandez was activated off the injured list Tuesday after missing two months with a hip flexor injury, and he'll receive Thursday off after starting the past two days. Jarren Duran will take over in center field for the Red Sox.

Returns to center field Hernandez started in center field, batted ninth and went 1-for-5 with an RBI in Wednesday's 8-3 win over Pittsburgh.
Impact Hernandez was activated off the injured list Tuesday and served at shortstop, as Boston manager Alex Cora gave Xander Bogaerts a rest day after fouling a ball off himself over the weekend. Hernandez should be the primary center fielder the rest of the season, but his days as the leadoff hitter appear to be over. He batted fifth Tuesday followed by Wednesday's slot at ninth, the first time he's hit at the bottom of the order in 2022.

Will be primary CF Hernandez, who started at shortstop Tuesday, will get most of the starts in center field going forward, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Impact Hernandez returned from a two-month absence Tuesday due to a hip flexor injury, but he started at short while Jarren Duran occupied center field. Prior to the injury, Hernandez was the team's leadoff hitter, but that role is in the hands of Tommy Pham, who will remain there according to manager Alex Cora. Hernandez will likely hit in the middle or bottom of the order, moving down a peg when Trevor Story (wrist) returns.

Impact Hernandez is finally back and ready for his first big-league action since June 7, when he suffered a right hip flexor strain. The 30-year-old should eventually settle into an everyday role in center field and push Jarren Duran to the bench, but Hernandez will make his return at shortstop while Xander Bogaerts (shin) is day-to-day.

Expected to return Tuesday Hernandez (hip) is expected to be reinstated from the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.
Impact Hernandez has been out since June 7 while nursing a right hip flexor strain, but he appears to be on the cusp of a return to the big leagues. The 30-year-old has struggled from the plate this year, batting .209 with four homers, 24 RBI and 27 runs over 215 at-bats in 51 games. Jaylin Davis was optioned to Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, opening a roster spot for Hernandez.

Expected to return next week Manager Alex Cora said Friday that he expects Hernandez (hip) to return from the injured list sometime next week, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.
Impact Hernandez began a rehab assignment Wednesday, and he'll appear in games at Double-A Portland on Friday and Saturday. He'll rest Sunday and Monday but will be in the mix to rejoin the Red Sox as early as Tuesday, when the team begins a three-game series in Pittsburgh.

Makes rehab appearance Hernandez (hip) started in center field and went 1-for-2 with Double-A Portland on Wednesday.
Impact Hernandez kicked off a rehab assignment with the Sea Dogs and played five innings in the field. An earlier rehab stint was paused after one outing, so the Red Sox will want to thoroughly evaluate the outfielder Thursday. He hasn't played in the majors since June 7, which suggests the rehab could go into next week. The Red Sox will at least want to see him play nine innings and on back-to-back days.

Ready for rehab assignment Manager Alex Cora said Hernandez (hip) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment Wednesday, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.
Impact Cora didn't specify which affiliate Hernandez will be joining, but because he's been sidelined since June 7 with a strained right hip flexor, he'll most likely stay on the rehab assignment through the weekend as he looks to regain his timing at the plate. Hernandez previously made a rehab appearance July 8, only to be pulled off the assignment at Triple-A Worcester after experiencing a setback. He appears to have responded well to the platelet-rich plasma injection he received shortly before the All-Star break. Once he's activated, Hernandez will likely supplant Jarren Duran as the Red Sox's everyday center fielder.

Not close to game action Hernandez (hip) will take batting practice tomorrow but isn't close to returning to game action, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.
Impact Hernandez resumed swinging a bat in late July and has been progressing well in his recovery after he received a platelet-rich plasma injection shortly before the All-Star break. However, the 30-year-old will still require some time before he's cleared to begin a rehab assignment. Manager Alex Cora said last weekend that he hopes Hernandez will be able to return sometime in August, but a better timetable for his return is unlikely to be revealed until he resumes game action.
