Impact Hernaiz went a combined 2-for-9 during that stretch and has hit .364 over 24 plate appearances across six rehab games overall. The 22-year-old has also gotten the green light for a pair of steal attempts -- both successful -- during his time in the minors, supporting the notion his previously injured ankle could be back to full strength. Hernaiz appears well on track to be activated from the 60-day injured list at some point early in the coming week.

Impact Hernaiz was back on defense after a day off Monday, and he delivered an encouraging offensive performance in addition to logging a full workload on defense without issue.

Two more hits in second rehab game Hernaiz (ankle) started at shortstop and played six innings in Triple-A Las Vegas' loss to Salt Lake on Sunday, going 2-for-3 with a run.

Impact Hernaiz was encouragingly able to log a solid workload on defense just a day after playing a full game at designated hitter, and he hit safely for the second time in as many contests as well. Through two games, Hernaiz's rehab assignment appears to be going as well as expected, but he still figures to remain on the farm for several more contests at minimum before activation is considered.

Kicks off rehab assignment Saturday Hernaiz (ankle) started at designated hitter in Triple-A Las Vegas' loss to Salt Lake on Saturday, going 1-for-3 with a double.

Impact The rookie infielder was logging his first game action since May 7 and put together an encouraging performance overall. Hernaiz figures to need an extensive rehab assignment given the amount of time he's been sidelined, and his next appearance with the Aviators may also see him play at least a partial game on defense.

Cleared for rehab assignment The Athletics sent Hernaiz to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday to begin a rehab assignment, Jason Burke of SI.com reports.

Impact Hernaiz didn't play Friday in Sacramento's 4-2 loss to Salt Lake, but he should join the Triple-A lineup at some point later this weekend to kick off what will likely be an extended rehab assignment. The 22-year-old infielder has been on the injured list since May 8 with a significant left ankle sprain.

Transferred to 60-day IL The Athletics transferred Hernaiz (ankle) to the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

Impact The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Aaron Brooks, who is starting Wednesday's game versus the Astros. Hernaiz suffered a severe left ankle sprain a week ago and now won't be eligible to return until early July.

Defensive improvement evident Hernaiz, who's hitting .240 with five RBI across 10 Cactus League games, is making a strong bid for an Opening Day spot with improved arm strength and footwork, Martin Gallegos of...

Impact Hernaiz came into spring camp needing to improve his overall infield defense, and he's been able to make significant progress over the last several weeks. Hernaiz has been splitting time between shortstop and third base, and although the former is his natural position, the latter may be his best path to an Opening Day roster spot. Hernaiz is also holding his own with the bat against big-league arms this spring, and he posted a remarkable .319/.384/.454 slash line and 13.4 percent strikeout rate across 131 games between Double-A Midland and Triple-A Las Vegas last season.

Off to hot start in Vegas Hernaiz has gone 8-for-19 with a double, a home run and seven RBI across his first four games with Triple-A Las Vegas since being promoted from Double-A Midland last Wednesday.

Impact The promising shortstop earned the bump up in affiliate with a stellar body of work at Midland, and Hernaiz has had no trouble carrying over the momentum to the Aviators early. The 21-year-old has three straight multi-hit efforts, including one two games ago highlighted by a ninth-inning grand slam. Hernaiz doesn't have much of a power profile, but he's an above-average contact hitter that's proven capable of double-digit steals on multiple occasions and should have a good chance of continuing to thrive in the Pacific Coast League's hitter-friendly environment.

Promoted to Triple-A The Athletics promoted Hernaiz to Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.

Impact Hernaiz had a strong start to the season with Double-A Midland, slashing .335/.390/.482 with 42 RBI across 308 plate appearances. If he continues to produce well in the minors, the 21-year-old shortstop figures to end the season in Triple-A with a shot at cracking the majors at some point in 2024.
