Blasts walkoff homer Hernandez went 4-for-5 with two home runs and three total RBI in Sunday's win over the Cubs.

Impact Hernandez kicked things off in the bottom of the third with an RBI single that scored Josh Bell, and he capped his day with two blasts -- a solo shot in the seventh and a walkoff bomb in the ninth off reliever Manuel Rodriguez. The outfielder extended his hitting streak to four games as a result and now he has at least one extra-base hit in each one of those contests.

Hernandez's HR in 9th gives Nats 6-5 win over Cubs

Yadiel Hernandez’s solo shot in the ninth inning — his second homer of the day — gave the Washington Nationals a 6-5 victory over the Chicago Cubs

Getting regular reps in LF Hernandez will start in left field and bat cleanup Sunday against the Cubs.

Impact Hernandez will pick up his third start in four games and looks poised to hold down a near-everyday role in the Washington outfield after the Nationals moved several veteran pieces ahead of Friday's trade deadline. The 33-year-old has been a respectable performer across multiple stints in the big leagues this season, slashing a collective .277/.337/.383 across 104 plate appearances.

Recalled by Nationals Hernandez was recalled from Triple-A Rochester on Thursday, Matt Weyrich of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Impact Hernandez was sent down Monday, but he'll return to the major-league club after left-hander Brad Hand was traded to the Blue Jays on Thursday. The 33-year-old should serve as outfield depth while the Nationals deal with several absences.

Sent down Monday Hernandez was optioned to Triple-A Rochester on Monday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Hernandez was called up July 3, but he started just one game since his promotion. During his time with the major-league club, he went 4-for-18 with three runs, two RBI and two walks while serving mainly in a depth role. His demotion will make room for Joe Ross (elbow), who was reinstated from the 10-day IL on Monday.

Recalled by Nationals Hernandez was recalled by the Nationals on Saturday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Hernandez was sent down in mid-June, and he slashed .309/.367/.618 with five home runs, 12 RBI and nine runs in 14 games with Triple-A Rochester. He's appeared in 42 games with the major-league club this year and should be available as outfield depth going forward after Kyle Schwarber (hamstring) was placed on the injured list as part of a corresponding move.

Sent to Triple-A Hernandez was optioned to Triple-A Rochester on Saturday.

Impact The Nationals desperately need pitching to get through the weekend, as they have a doubleheader Saturday and multiple key pitchers on the shelf, so they are bringing up reinforcements from Triple-A and Hernandez was optioned in a corresponding move. He had gone hitless in six June at-bats.

Playing time dries up Hernandez remains out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Giants, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact With Juan Soto, Kyle Schwarber and Victor Robles entrenched as the Nationals' everyday outfielders and Andrew Stevenson seemingly locked in as the fourth outfielder, Hernandez's opportunities have been few and far between of late as the clear No. 5 option. He hasn't picked up a start since May 9, operating mainly as a pinch-hitting specialist for Washington. Hernandez hasn't been particularly productive in that capacity, going 5-for-22 with one extra-base hit (a solo home run) over the past month.

Pinch-hit homer Hernandez went 1-for-1 with a solo home run as Washington beat Arizona 3-0 on Sunday.

Impact Hernandez batted for starter Erick Fedde with the score knotted at zero to lead off the eighth and smacked a go-ahead solo home run to left that ignited a three-run inning. He's slashing .294/.351/.431, primarily in a pinch-hit role.

Returns to reserve role Hernandez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies.

Impact Hernandez had started in 10 of the Nationals' last 13 games, but his run of regular playing time looks to be over now that Juan Soto is ready to play right field again after missing time with strained shoulder. The 33-year-old appears to have at least positioned himself as the next man up for reps in the outfield ahead of Andrew Stevenson.

Takes seat Wednesday Hernandez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Impact Hernandez had started in right field in seven of the Nationals' last eight games, going 10-for-24 with a home run and four walks over that stretch. Though the Nationals brought back Juan Soto from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, he'll remain limited to a pinch-hitting role for the second day in a row since he hasn't been cleared for full throwing due to his strained left shoulder. Josh Harrison will get the nod in right field Wednesday, but Hernandez should be the primary option at the position until Soto receives clearance to play defense.
