Sent down to Triple-A The Athletics optioned Hernaiz to Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.

Impact The Athletics had to make room on the 26-man roster after Max Muncy (hand) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Monday, and Hernaiz was selected to move down to Triple-A. He has a .606 OPS with three steals, one home run and seven RBI over 134 plate appearances this season but has gone 3-for-26 (.115) across his last nine games. Hernaiz will work on his approach at the plate with Las Vegas and could return to the big club should the Athletics need depth in the infield.

Logs two hits Wednesday Hernaiz went 2-for-4 in Wednesday's loss against Seattle.

Impact Hernaiz collected a pair of singles, one in the third inning and another in the seventh frame, marking his sixth multi-hit effort of the campaign. The infielder entered the 2026 season in a reserve role but has operated as the Athletics' primary shortstop since Jacob Wilson (shoulder) landed on the injured list May 12. Across his past 15 contests, Hernaiz is slashing .348/.400/.391 with two doubles, two RBI, six runs and a stolen base.

Twelve-game starting streak ends Hernaiz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

Impact Alika Williams will pick up his first start for the Athletics since being acquired last weekend while Hernaiz retreats to the bench for the series finale in San Diego. Hernaiz had started at shortstop in each of the Athletics' last 12 games, going 12-for-36 (.333 average) with one stolen base, six runs and two RBI during that stretch.

MAY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Scores twice Tuesday Hernaiz went 2-for-4 with an RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Tuesday's 14-6 win over the Angels.

Impact Hernaiz got in on the action as the Athletics tallied a season high in runs, scoring twice before adding an RBI single in the ninth inning. Since Jacob Wilson (shoulder) landed on the injured list May 12, Hernaiz has stepped in as the primary shortstop and performed admirably. Over the past eight games, he has gone 10-for-25 (.400) with a double, an RBI and five runs scored.

Kurtz homers for 3rd straight game to help the Athletics beat the Giants 5-2

Nick Kurtz homered for a third straight game, hitting a go-ahead three-run shot in the fifth inning and the Athletics beat the San Francisco Giants 5-2 on Friday night

MAY 16 • Associated Press

Logs three hits in win Hernaiz went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Cardinals.

Impact Hernaiz looked to be losing his grip on a starting role at third base last week, but the absence of Jacob Wilson (shoulder) has opened up shortstop for the foreseeable future. Hernaiz will need to hit his way into keeping the job -- this was just his second multi-hit effort of the campaign. The infielder is batting a passable .250, but he has a .638 OPS with one home run, five RBI, seven runs scored and two stolen bases over 69 plate appearances. He doesn't appear to have much upside unless his bat gets hot.

MAY 10 • Associated Press

Ceding third base to Gelof Hernaiz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Impact Hernaiz appeared to have a clear path to regular playing time at third base after Max Muncy (hand) was placed on the injured list at late April, but Zack Gelof has since overtaken Hernaiz as the Athletics' preferred option at the hot corner. Gelof will occupy the position for a fifth straight game with Hernaiz having gotten off to a slow start to May by going 1-for-13 with a 3:4 BB:K.

MAY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting again Thursday Hernaiz isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Phillies.

Impact Hernaiz will grab a seat on the bench for a second consecutive game after going just 1-for-13 at the plate to begin the month of May. Zack Gelof will start at third base and bat eighth.

MAY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Not in lineup Wednesday Hernaiz is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in Philadelphia.

Impact Hernaiz had started each of the previous nine contests, but he'll begin Wednesday's festivities on the bench. Zack Gelof is covering third base and batting ninth for the Athletics.

MAY 2 • Associated Press

Provides three-hit game Hernaiz went 3-for-4 with two RBI in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Royals.

Impact Hernaiz continued his recent hot stretch, reaching base three times on infield singles, with each hit contributing to a run -- including one that scored due to an error. The third baseman's approach has paid off lately, as he's now batting 6-for-19 (.316) over his last six games. On the season, Hernaiz is slashing .256/.341/.333 with four RBI and three runs scored across 45 plate appearances.

Josh Jung hits 2-run homer in 6th to push the Rangers past the Athletics, 4-3

Josh Jung hit a go-ahead, two-run home run in the sixth inning in the Texas Rangers’ 4-3 victory over the Athletics on Saturday night

APRIL 26 • Associated Press

Drives first homer of season Hernaiz went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and two walks in Sunday's loss to the White Sox.

Impact With Max Muncy shifting to designated hitter, Hernaiz drew the start at third base and connected on his first homer of the season, a solo shot off Noah Schultz in the second inning. In addition to being his first long ball, Sunday's homer marked the utility infielder's first extra-base hit and RBI of the year. Hernaiz figures to continue operating primarily as a reserve, with most of his starts coming against left-handed pitching.

APRIL 20 • ROTOWIRE

Nabs second steal Hernaiz went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Thursday's loss to the Rangers.

Impact With Max Muncy getting a rare day off, Hernaiz drew the start at the hot corner and swiped his second base of the season. Playing time has been tough to come by for the utility man, and the results have been lackluster when called upon, as he's slashing .200/.238/.200 in 21 plate appearances. Hernaiz figures to continue seeing action as a fill-in option on rest days for Muncy, Jeff McNeil and Jacob Wilson rather than forcing his way into a regular role.
