César Hernández - Page 7 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Collects three hits Thursday Hernandez went 3-for-5 with a double in a 4-0 win over the Royals on Thursday.

Impact Hernandez delivered his sixth multi-hit game and third three-hit game of the season. The 31-year-old has been inconsistent this year, digging himself into a number of hitless streaks, but when he's on, he tends to tally multiple hits like Thursday. In 129 plate appearances, he's slashing .205/.310/.304. That's the worst slash line of his career, and he'll have to step it up to remain in the leadoff spot for Cleveland.

Hits RBI double Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a double, a bases-loaded walk and a run scored in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Twins.

Impact In the third inning, Hernandez hit a double and scored on a Jose Ramirez double to give Cleveland a 3-2 lead. He then drew a bases-loaded walk in the eighth inning to score Josh Naylor. The 30-year-old Hernandez has a meager slash line of .190/.299/.262 with one home run, four RBI, 11 runs scored and no stolen bases in 22 games this season. The second baseman usually hits near the top of the order, although outfielder Jordan Luplow and utilityman Amed Rosario have also hit leadoff at times this year.

Tallies three singles Hernandez went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Thursday's 6-3 loss to New York.

Impact The second baseman has offered little to Cleveland's offense in his 65 at-bats, hitting .200 with just three extra-base hits and three RBI. Home runs have kept the Indians afloat, offensively, but Hernandez has only contributed one in that department. The lack of better options presumes to keep Hernandez near the top of the lineup for the foreseeable future, although he'll only offer fantasy value if his offense takes considerable strides forward.

Goes yard in big win Hernandez went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 11-3 win over the Tigers.

Impact Hernandez took Tigers starter Tarik Skubal deep in the third inning to put Cleveland ahead 3-0. The homer was Hernandez's first of the year. He's off to a slow start at the dish, hitting .185/.290/.370 with one homer, one RBI and four runs scored in seven games. The 30-year-old remains Cleveland's primary second baseman, but he could be challenged for playing time by Amed Rosario if his hitting struggles persist.

Batting second in opener Hernandez will start at second base and bat second Thursday in Detroit.

Impact Hernandez made 43 of his 57 starts out of the leadoff spot in 2020, but he'll cede table-setting duties to the righty-swinging Jordan Luplow, who gets the nod against Tigers lefty Matthew Boyd. Luplow is uncertain to be a fixture in the lineup versus right-handed pitching, so Hernandez could end up getting the larger share of starts atop the order if manager Terry Francona opts to take a platoon approach to the leadoff spot.
