Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a double, an RBI, a stolen base, a walk and a strikeout in Sunday's 9-3 win over Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
Hernandez went 0-for-5 with a run over the last two matchups, but he bounced back with an extra-base hit during Sunday's series finale. He hasn't displayed much speed this year, as his stolen base during Sunday's win marked his first steal since May 3. However, the 32-year-old has hit .302 with a triple, a double, five runs and two RBI over his last 11 games.

Hernandez went 3-for-5 with a run scored and an RBI in Monday's 13-5 loss to the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran infielder continues to make things happen at the top of the Nationals' batting order. Hernandez has hit safely in 10 straight games, batting .390 (16-for-41) over that stretch to push his slash line on the season to .295/.345/.367 with two steals, 13 RBI and 30 runs. However, his lack of power so far is discouraging after he launched 21 homers in 2021.

Hernandez went 3-for-9 with two doubles and two runs between Saturday's doubleheader games against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Hernandez will serve as the Nationals' leadoff man in the series finale with Colorado and looks to have re-established himself as the team's full-time table setter versus both left- and right-handed pitching. He's recorded a double and has scored at least one run in each of Washington's last three contests.

Hernandez went 2-for-4 with a walk, two runs scored and an RBI in Sunday's win over the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
He also had a strong day in the field, helping to turn three double plays. Hernandez has been giving the Nationals strong numbers from the top of the batting order for the last month, slashing .314/.374/.390 over the last 26 games with two steals, seven RBI and 14 runs.

Hernandez will start at second base and bat leadoff in Sunday's game against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Hernandez will lead off for the 25th straight game, a just reward while he's gotten on base at a .358 clip over the previous 24 contests. Despite the favorable lineup spot, Hernandez hasn't been a strong source of counting stats while being supported by a weak Nationals offense. Over that 24-game stretch, Hernandez didn't hit a home run and recorded 12 runs, six RBI and two stolen bases.

Hernandez went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Sunday's loss to the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
After seeing his 12-game hitting streak snapped Saturday, Hernandez wasted no time starting another. The veteran second baseman still isn't supplying any power, but he's batting .279 through 30 games with two steals, seven RBI and 17 runs.

Hernandez went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a caught stealing in Wednesday's loss to the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran second baseman has rewarded manager Dave Martinez's faith in him at the top of the batting order, hitting safely in 10 straight games and slashing .390/.444/.463 over that stretch after a sluggish start to the season. Hernandez is still looking for his first homer of the year, but he has contributed six doubles, six RBI, two steals and 15 runs through 26 contests.
