The Blue Jays' decision to include Hernandez in the starting nine a day later suggests the back issue is something that he'll be able to regularly play through moving forward. Through 13 games in August, Hernandez is batting .280 with three home runs, three doubles, eight RBI and four runs.

It doesn't appear to be a serious concern, so Hernandez should be considered day-to-day. Cavan Biggio will slide out to right field while Brandon Drury starts at the keystone in Baltimore.
