2024 Fantasy Outlook
Hernandez's time in Boston ended with a whimper, as he struggled to a .599 OPS in 86 games with the Red Sox last season before being traded. The Dodgers brought him back to Los Angeles, where he had enjoyed his most success, and Hernandez indeed rebounded down the stretch. He was even included on the team's NLDS roster and will return to the Dodgers in 2024, having signed a one-year deal in February. After his 2018 season, it looked like Hernandez might break the chains of merely being a utility/platoon player, but at this point in his career he will have to accept a niche role. Hernandez, now 32, is a career .239 hitter with modest power and little speed. Coming off double hernia surgery in October, he may be eased into action this spring, though the team expects him to be available for the March 20-21 series against the Padres in South Korea.

Platooning with Lux
Hernandez will start at second base and bat ninth in Monday's game against Atlanta, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Hernandez will occupy second base for the second time in three games, with both of his starts coming against left-handed pitchers. He appears to have emerged as the preferred platoon partner at the keystone for the left-handed-hitting Gavin Lux.

How does Enrique Hernandez compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Hernandez missed two months in 2022 with a hip injury and struggled offensively when available with a .222/.291/.338 slash line in 93 games. He primarily worked in center field once again and remains a plus defender, but he hit only six home runs and had a career-low .116 ISO. Boston still inked Hernandez to a one-year, $10 million extension in September, so he'll be back for 2023. He was productive during his first campaign with the Red Sox in 2021 with a .786 OPS, 20 home runs and 84 runs, but it's unclear if he can replicate those numbers while entering his age-31 season. With Trevor Story set to miss at least the early part of the 2023 season while recovering from elbow surgery, Hernandez is expected to move into an everyday role in the middle infield in his third year in Boston.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set for larger outfield role?
Hernandez could receive more starts in the outfield after the Dodgers placed Jason Heyward on the injured list Wednesday with lower-back tightness.
ANALYSIS
Hernandez has played in five of Los Angeles' first eight games of the season and has gone 2-for-11 with a walk and three RBI. He's seen action in center field, left field and at third base thus far. Fellow utility man Chris Taylor and newly-acquired outfielder Taylor Trammell could also see time during Heyward's absence.
