Hernandez will sit for the second straight game Monday against the Dodgers, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though Hernandez will miss his second straight game, he'll only end up with one day off, as he appeared in the first half of Sunday's doubleheader against the Padres. Still, it's odd to see him sit again, as he hasn't been reportedly dealing with any injuries and has a .937 OPS over his last eight games. Trevor Plouffe will start at second base in his place.

Hernandez is out of the lineup for the second game of the Phillies' doubleheader Sunday against the Padres, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hernandez went 1-for-5 with two strikeouts in the Phillies' 10-2 loss in Game 1, extending his hit streak to seven games. Manager Gabe Kapler will give the club's table setter a breather for the nightcap, affording a start at the keystone to Jesmuel Valentin while Carlos Santana handles leadoff duties.

Hernandez went 1-for-3 with a triple, three RBI and a walk in Sunday's 10-5 loss to the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Hernandez helped the Phillies to a five-run lead in the fourth inning after delivering a three RBI triple. He'll head into the second half after recording a hit in each of his last five games, going 8-for-19 with three walks and one extra-base hit over that span.

Hernandez went 3-for-4 with a run scored and a walk in Thursday's victory against Baltimore.
EDGE Analysis
It's been an odd July for Hernandez; Thursday's outing gives him four multi-hit games this month while he's gone hitless in the other seven contests. He has just one RBI and two stolen bases during that span and he's been held without a homer since June 20.

Hernandez (foot) is back in the lineup for the first half of Monday's doubleheader against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Hernandez fouled a ball off his foot Friday against the Pirates and did not start the next two games, though he did come in as a pinch hitter Sunday. He's fully back in the lineup Monday, taking his customary spot as the Phillies' leadoff hitter and second baseman.

Hernandez (foot) made an appearance as a pinch hitter in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Pirates, striking out in his lone at-bat.
EDGE Analysis
Hernandez has been excluded from the lineup the last two games while battling the foot injury, but has been deployed as a pinch hitter in both contests. His usage off the bench provides optimism that he'll avoid the disabled list, but it's unclear if manager Gabe Kapler will insert the second baseman back into the lineup for either half of the Phillies' doubleheader Monday against the Mets.

Hernandez (foot) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hernandez fouled a ball off his foot Friday and has been held out of the lineup the last two days. The 28-year-old may be available off the bench same as Saturday since it's apparently a relatively minor injury, with Jesmuel Valentin again starting at second base for the Phillies.

Hernandez left Friday's rout over the Pirates early after fouling a ball off his foot and is not in Saturday's lineup, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The injury appears to be a minor one as Hernandez is available off the bench if necessary. Jesmuel Valentin will take Hernandez's place in the field and in the lineup, leading off and playing second base.

Hernandez went 2-for-2 with a double, three walks and a steal in Tuesday's win over the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
In addition to coming around to score twice as well, the steal was his 10th of the season in just 12 attempts and put him more than halfway toward topping his career-high 19 stolen bases. With seven home runs and 20 RBI, the 28-year-old is also already within reach of his personal-bests in those departments of nine and 39, respectively. After reaching base a career-best five times Tuesday, Hernandez sports a .269/.380/.431 slash line on the year.

Hernandez went 2-for-5 with a triple, a solo home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
The second baseman is now hitting just .235 (12-for-51) in May, but he does have three of his five home runs on the season during the month. Hernandez continues to hit at the top of the lineup for the Phillies, and he's responded by getting on base in 20 straight games, posting a .359 OBP over that stretch.
