Hernandez went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in a 5-2 win over the Braves on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The home run was Hernandez's fourth of the season, which is just two short of his career-high. His .939 OPS in the best of of any second baseman in the National League. Manager Pete Mackanin told Corey Seidman of CSN Philadelphia that he attributes Hernandez's power production to an adjustment he made to level out his swing rather than the added muscle the second baseman put on in the offseason. Hernandez has an unsustainable HR/FB rate of 26.7% and a BABIP of .434 which should temper any expectations for this level of production continuing throughout the season. Also of concern is his 27.1% strikeout rate, nearly a 10% increase over last season. If he continues hacking at that rate, he is going to struggle to maintain the batting average gains from last season.

Hernandez went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and two runs during Saturday's win over Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez's homer provided the game-winning run for the Phillies, and the speedster now sports an impressive .313/.353/.542 slash line. However, he's still looking for his first stolen base, which paired with his ability to reach base (.371 on-base percentage in 2016), is the main fantasy draw for the 26-year-old second baseman. The swipes should come sooner than later, but they'll likely be accompanied with a decline across the other categories. Still, with Hernandez entering his prime, he might also have a career year in store.

Hernandez went 2-for-4 with a run scored in a 5-4 loss to the Mets on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez has four multi-hit games through his first nine starts and is hitting .308/.357/.513 with a home run. He has yet to attempt to steal a base, but that should change in the near future. He showed signs of improvement in his stolen base technique this spring leading to expectations of increased production in that category this season.

Phillies first-base coach Mickey Morandini said he is encouraged by the progress Hernandez has made improving his stolen base technique this spring, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Morandini has been working with Hernandez on getting better jumps on his stolen base attempts. The second baseman is 4-for-4 on stolen base attempts after stealing only 17 bags out of 30 attempts last season. Hernandez has been clocked by Statcast going from home to first base at speeds comparable to Dee Gordon, so he is plenty quick. It is his technique that has held him back. If he can carry his spring improvements into the regular season, stealing 30 or more bags is a real possibility.

The Phillies have Hernandez working with Mickey Morandini, the team's first base and baserunning coach, on addressing some of the mental errors that plagued him on the bases last season, Matt Breen of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Phillies and Hernandez believe he can swipe 30 bags this season, but he'll need to improve on his success rate. He was caught stealing 13 times last season despite having excellent speed. Manager Pete Mackanin said Hernandez needs to work on his jumps, learn how to read slide steps and observe pitchers. Exceeding 30 stolen bases should be possible if Hernandez improves his approach on the bases and can keep getting on base at a high clip like he did in the second half of last season.

Hernandez reported to Phillies camp at 180 pounds after adding 15 pounds of muscle this offseason, and he wants to steal 30 to 40 bases, Jim Salisbury of CSNPhilly.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez's speed went a bit wasted last year as he was just 17-for-30 on stolen base attempts. His .294 average from last year probably was a bit high, but that 10.6 percent walk rate shows he has the tools to build on his ability to swipe bags. That's the main reason he has some allure in the late rounds of fantasy drafts, though the Phillies' middle infield could remain in flux with prospect J.P. Crawford close to major-league-ready.

Hernandez will receive $2.55 million for the 2017 season, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Phillies essentially met Hernandez in the middle after the infielder asked for $2.8 million while the organization filed at $2 million in arbitration. Hernandez put together a strong 2016 season at age 26, slashing .294/.371/.393 while hitting a major league-leading 11 triples. He figures to be Philadelphia's primary second baseman in the early portion of the season, but the organization's plans with prospect J.P. Crawford could complicate matters for Hernandez.

Manager Pete Mackanin said Hernandez may lose the permanent green light he has had when on base this season, Ryan Lawrence of the Philly Voice reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez is just 17-for-30 in stolen base attempts this season. The only player to be caught stealing more than Hernandez is Jonathan Villar of the Brewers. Mackanin said Hernandez has good speed, but gets poor jumps. The Phillies will certainly have him work on this issue during the offseason.

Hernandez finished 2-for-3 with a walk and stolen base in Wednesday's 6-0 loss to Miami.

EDGE Analysis

While the steal -- his 16th of the season -- and multi-hit performance wasn't quite enough for a sweep over the Marlins, the switch-hitting second baseman capped off a strong series where he collected six hits and accounted for two of his club's runs, while lifting his season line to .289/.357/.398 across 457 at-bats.

Hernandez went 2-for-5 with a double and a solo homer against the White Sox on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Over his last five starts (spanning nine days), Hernandez has surprisingly doubled his homer total, hitting three of his six long balls in 2016. He's also compiled multiple hits in six of his last eight starts despite dealing with a minor foot injury last week. Hernandez doesn't exactly rack up fantasy stats -- his best counting category is steals, and he's been caught nine times to go with 13 successful swipes -- but he's hitting a shiny .296, which translates to significant relevance in deeper formats.
