Blue Jays' Teoscar Hernandez: Back in lineup Tuesday
Rotowire
Hernandez (hip) will start in right field and bat cleanup in Tuesday's game against the White Sox.
Hernandez was one of three Blue Jays regulars who was on the bench for Sunday's 11-10 win over the Angels with a minor injury, but he, Vladimir Guerrero (wrist) and Danny Jansen (hip) will all be back in the starting nine Tuesday as Toronto begins a six-game homestand. Though the hip issue shouldn't be anything that affects Hernandez moving forward, the 29-year-old has struggled to get his timing back at the plate since returning May 7 from a stint on the 10-day injured list due to an oblique strain. In his 18 games since returning, Hernandez has slashed .130/.178/.188 with two extra-base hits and a stolen base.

Blue Jays' Teoscar Hernandez: Hitting slump continues
Rotowire
Hernandez went 0-for-3 with a walk Sunday in the Blue Jays' 3-2 loss to the Reds.
Fantasy managers were hoping that Hernandez would provide a shot in the arm after he returned to action May 7 following a three-plus-week stint on the injured list due to an oblique strain, but the 29-year-old has instead been one of the majors' least productive everyday players in the ensuing two weeks. In his 13 starts since rejoining the Toronto lineup, Hernandez is slashing .100/.135/.180 with a 3.8 percent walk rate and 30.8 percent strikeout rate.

He got the Blue Jays on the board with a two-run single in the first inning, his first RBI since coming off the injured list Saturday. Hernandez has struck out four times in seven at-bats since his return, so he hasn't quite found his swing yet, but hitting cleanup behind George Springer, Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero should afford him plenty of chances to make up for lost time.
