TEOSCAR HERNÁNDEZ NEWS

Drives in two Sunday Hernandez went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Sunday's loss to the Guardians.

Impact He got the Blue Jays on the board with a two-run single in the first inning, his first RBI since coming off the injured list Saturday. Hernandez has struck out four times in seven at-bats since his return, so he hasn't quite found his swing yet, but hitting cleanup behind George Springer, Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero should afford him plenty of chances to make up for lost time.

Starting in Game 2 Hernandez is starting in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Guardians.

Impact Hernandez was activated from the 10-day injured list Saturday, but he didn't appear in the matinee against Cleveland. However, he'll start in right field and bat fourth during the second game of the twin bill. Over his first six major-league games of the season, Hernandez hit .316 with a homer, a double, three runs and three RBI.

Reinstated from 10-day IL Hernandez (oblique) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Saturday.

Impact Hernandez had been on the injured list since April 14, but he recently played in three rehab games and will be available for both games in Saturday's doubleheader against the Guardians. The 29-year-old slashed .316/.435/.526 with a homer, three runs and three RBI over six games prior to his absence. He should reclaim an everyday role now that he's healthy.

Expected to return Saturday Hernandez (oblique) has arrived in Cleveland and is expected to be available for the Blue Jays' weekend series against the Guardians, Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun reports.

Impact Hernandez played in a final rehab game at Single-A Dunedin on Thursday, and he ultimately went 5-for-11 with two homers, two doubles, four runs, four RBI and a steal over three minor-league matchups during his rehab assignment. The 29-year-old should be reinstated from the 10-day injured list prior to Saturday's doubleheader against Cleveland.

Another rehab game on tap Hernandez (oblique) will make another rehab appearance at Single-A Dunedin on Thursday, Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun reports.

Impact Although manager Charlie Montoyo was optimistic that Hernandez would rejoin the Blue Jays on Thursday, he'll require at least one more minor-league game before being activated from the injured list, likely at some point this weekend. The 29-year-old has gone 3-for-7 with a homer, two doubles, three RBI and two runs over his first two rehab games.

Remains out of lineup Hernandez (oblique) isn't starting Thursday against the Guardians.

Impact Manager Charlie Montoyo said previously he expected Hernandez to be reinstated from the 10-day injured list Thursday, but the outfielder will remain out of the lineup for at least one more game. It's not yet clear whether the 29-year-old will be activated prior to the start of the game, but he should come off the bench if that occurs.

Impact The 29-year-old is playing in his second rehab game with Single-A Dunedin on Wednesday after going 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and two RBI on Tuesday.

Rehab assignment on tap Hernandez (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment at Single-A Dunedin on Tuesday, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hernandez participated in live batting practice Saturday, and he'll be cleared to return to game action in the minors several days later. The outfielder had hoped to play at Triple-A Buffalo, but he'll head Dunedin since there's expected to be better weather there. Assuming he feels good after appearing in some rehab games, the Blue Jays are hopeful that Hernandez will be able to return sometime during their series against Cleveland, which begins Thursday.

Takes live BP Hernandez (oblique) took live batting practice Saturday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Hernandez took part in a full workout while hitting off a pitching machine Friday, and he faced live competition for the first time a day later. The 29-year-old will likely require a rehab assignment before he's cleared to rejoin the Blue Jays, but the team is hopeful that he'll be available for its upcoming series in Cleveland, which begins Thursday.

Full workout on tap Friday Hernandez (oblique) is going through a full workout Friday and is hitting off a pitching machine, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Impact The 29-year-old took swings in the cage Thursday and will continue through his rehab progression this weekend. If all goes well Friday, Hernandez may take live batting practice Saturday, which could be one of the final steps of his rehab program before being activated from the injured list.

Will hit in cage Thursday Hernandez (oblique) is scheduled to take swings against a high-velocity machine Thursday, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports.

Impact Hernandez was able to take part in batting practice Tuesday, but it sounds like he only saw soft-toss pitches during his time at the plate. Facing off against higher-speed pitching will mark an important step forward for Hernandez, who appears to be coming along well in his recovery from the oblique strain, as he was able to run the bases again as part of his workout Wednesday. While Hernandez isn't expected to require a minor-league rehab assignment if he can take live batting practice without issue, manager Charlie Montoyo noted that he doesn't expect the 29-year-old to be back in the lineup for this weekend's series with the Astros. The Blue Jays' plans could change, however, if Hernandez experiences no discomfort while swinging the bat Thursday.

Feels good after batting practice Hernandez felt good after taking batting practice Tuesday, saying he no longer feels his oblique strain at all, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports.

Impact Hernandez has missed just shy of two weeks with the injury. In addition to batting practice, he also went through fielding drills in the outfield Tuesday, so it appears as though he's not too far from a return. He may still need a few more days to recover his timing and feel at the plate, however, and the Blue Jays have yet to set a specific date for his return.

Slated for live BP Hernandez (oblique) is progressing well in his recovery and will take part in live batting practice this week, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports.

Impact Hernandez began his hitting progression Friday, and he'll take another step in his recovery by facing live pitching this week. He's been on the injured list for just over 10 days due to a left oblique strain, and the Blue Jays haven't yet indicated when he'll be able to return to game action.
