Hernandez (oblique) will come off the disabled list on Monday, Matt Gelb of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez is scheduled to play in his final rehab game Sunday. Manager Pete Mackanin said Hernandez will return to his leadoff role when he comes off the disabled list. The 27-year-old has slashed .277/.336/.399 with five homers and six steals in 238 at-bats this season.

Hernandez (oblique) will likely be activated during next week's series against the Marlins, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The Phillies are in Miami from Monday through Wednesday. The middle infielder was sent out on a rehab assignment this past Wednesday, so assuming he doesn't aggravate the oblique injury, expect him to return to the starting lineup shortly. He hit a solid .277/.336/.399 with six steals and five home runs in the first half, making him a sneaky source of value in formats where middle infielders are scarce.

Hernandez (oblique) is set to begin a rehab assignment with High-A Clearwater on Wednesday, Meghan Montemurro of The News Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez has been steadily progressing in his recovery since being sidelined in early June and appears to finally be ready for a return to game action. The infielder is expected to return to the Phillies sometime shortly after they begin play in the second half of the season, presumably on their upcoming six-game road trip. He should assume his regular role as the primary second baseman, where he's hitting .277 over 58 games this year.

GM Matt Klentak said Hernandez (oblique) should come off the disabled list sometime during the Phillies' road trip from July 14 to 19, Jake Lourim and Matt Gelb of The Philadelphia Inquirer report.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez has been sidelined since June 9 with a strained oblique. He started taking swings in a batting cage last week and will head out on a rehab assignment as soon as the Phillies feel there is no risk of re-injury.

Hernandez (oblique) took swings in the batting cage from both sides of the plate Monday, Stephen Gross of The Allentown Morning Call reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez is progressing well in his recovery from a strained oblique, as he was able to work his way into the cage after taking dry swings Sunday. When he's ready, the 27-year-old is expected to head out on a rehab assignment before returning to the big club. He's still a few weeks out from his original six-week timetable.

Hernandez is recovering well from a strained left oblique, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez is about three weeks into an estimated six week recovery from his oblique strain. Howie Kendrick had been filling in at second base, but he is on the DL with a hamstring strain leaving the Phillies to use Andres Blanco and Ty Kelly at second in the interim.

Manager Pete Mackanin said Hernandez is expected to miss around six weeks with his strained oblique, Matt Gelb of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

An MRI on Monday confirmed Hernandez will be forced to miss extended time with the issue. It's a tough break for Hernandez, who was enjoying a nice start to the season. Should this timetable hold, the 27-year-old would be back sometime after the All-Star break in late July. In the meantime, Howie Kendrick should continue to see the majority of playing time at second base while Hernandez is sidelined.

Hernandez (oblique) will have an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of his injury, Matt Gelb of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez strained his oblique while making a difficult throw from behind the second-base bag Friday night. Oblique injuries can take a month or more to fully heal, so the Phillies could be without Hernandez until next month. More will be known after his MRI. Howie Kendrick has taken over at second base which opens up playing time in the outfield for Daniel Nava and Michael Saunders.

Hernandez was placed on the 10-day disabled Sunday with a left oblique strain.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez suffered the oblique strain while making a throw during Friday's contest. The strain was apparently severe enough to warrant a DL trip, as the 27-year-old will be out of commission for the next 10 days. Howie Kendrick is a likely candidate to fill his void at second base.

Hernandez (oblique) would not rule out the possibility that he could be placed on the 10-day DL, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Apparently Hernandez tweaked his side while throwing a ball during Friday's game. Team doctors will examine Hernandez on Sunday to determine the extent of the injury. Andres Blanco got the start at second base in Hernandez's absence Saturday.
