Out at least 10 days with COVID Hernandez tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday and will remain quarantined for at least the next 10 days, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.
Impact He had close contact with someone outside the team last week who ended up testing positive and has been quarantined since Friday. Hernandez is currently symptomatic, so while he could return April 23 against the Rays, it remains to be seen if he will need more time than that to get right.

Set to miss remainder of homestand Hernandez (undisclosed) is slated to be out until at least Thursday while he's on the COVID-19 injured list, Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun reports.
Impact Hernandez was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Friday after exposure to someone who'd tested positive outside of the team, and the league's protocols will keep him out for the remainder of the homestand. It's not clear whether Hernandez himself has tested positive, but Randal Grichuk, Jonathan Davis and Josh Palacios could see increased playing time while Hernandez is sidelined.

Goes yard in opener Hernandez went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored during Thursday's win over the Yankees.
Impact His sixth-inning blast helped chase Gerrit Cole from the game and tied the game at 2-2, setting the stage for some extra-inning heroics by Randal Grichuk. Hernandez has launched 42 homers in 175 games over the last two seasons, and while the Jays' batting order will get shuffled around once George Springer (oblique) is healthy, the 28-year-old is currently hitting cleanup in a very potent offense to add to his fantasy appeal.

Teoscar Hernández's solo home run | 04/01/2021 Teoscar Hernández hammers a ball to the left-field seats for a solo home run and evens the score at 2 in the top of the 6th inning
APRIL 1, 2021 • MLB.COM
Solid spring so far Hernandez has gone 5-for-20 (.250) with four doubles and a 5:5 K:BB through nine Grapefruit League games.
Impact While he's still looking for his first spring homer, Hernandez has otherwise looked good at the plate, with his batting eye being especially noteworthy after he posted a 14:63 BB:K through 50 games in 2020. The 28-year-old is set to start in right field in a crowded Toronto outfield as he looks to prove that his career-high .289 batting average and .919 OPS last year were no fluke.

Reaches deal with Toronto Hernandez signed a one-year, $4.325 million contract with the Blue Jays on Friday to avoid arbitration, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
Impact It's the first year of arbitration eligibility for the 28-year-old, and he earned a solid figure after posting a .289/.340/.579 slash line with 16 homers, 34 RBI and six stolen bases in 50 games during 2020. Hernandez should enter spring training with a starting role in Toronto's outfield.
