37 Teoscar Hernandez LF

Hernandez went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's loss to the Rays.

Though he was removed for pinch hitter Billy McKinney in the ninth inning, Hernandez already helped anyone who put him in their fantasy lineups with a laser off a Diego Castillo earlier in the game. His second big fly in as many days boosts him to a .241/.303/.471 line with 22 home runs in 519 plate appearances this season. This mini-run again teases the sleeper appeal many fantasy drafters chased in deeper mixed games before this season. Depending on Toronto's offseason maneuverings, the soon-to-be 26-year-old may still deserve a similar spotlight in 2019 due to his tantalizing batted-ball metrics: Before this game, Hernandez ranked 10th with a 9.1 percent rate of barrels per plate appearance, according to Statcast.

Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a double, two RBI and one run scored Thursday against the Indians.

Hernandez contributed to the Blue Jays' four-run fourth inning by hitting a two-RBI double to the base of the wall in center field. While he has hit just .200/.285/.367 in 120 at-bats since the All-Star break, Hernandez has shown signs of life at the plate by homering once and driving in six runs over his past four games.

Hernandez is not in the lineup Monday against the Orioles, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Hernandez will retreat to the bench following back-to-back starts in which he went 1-for-7 with a walk and six strikeouts. Curtis Granderson and Billy McKinney are manning Toronto's corner outfield spots for the series opener.

Hernandez is not in the lineup Friday against the Phillies, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Hernandez will sit for the third time in four games. Billy McKinney will get the start in left field.

Hernandez is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Orioles.

Hernandez is hitting just .214/.297/.446 through 16 games this month, so he'll stick on the bench for a second straight game as he tries to figure things out at the dish. Billy McKinney is starting in left field and hitting sixth in his stead.
