EDGE Analysis
Manny Burriss will get a rare start at second base Tuesday while Hernandez gets the day off against Chicago lefty Carlos Rodon. Hernandez had batted leadoff the past two games and was a hit shy of the cycle Sunday. He figures to rejoin the lineup for Wednesday's interleague matchup.

Hernandez (foot) is back in the lineup, leading off Saturday against the Cardinals, The Philly Voice's Ryan Lawrence reports.
EDGE Analysis
After missing Thursday's game and pinch hitting Friday, Hernandez is healthy enough to return to the field Saturday. He is hitting .327/.413/.423 with 23 runs and 10 steals in 42 games since the start of July, making him worth deploying in the majority of formats.

Hernandez (foot) is out of the lineup Friday against the Cardinals, Stephen Gross of the Morning Call reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hernandez will remain out with a sore foot and be replaced by Manny Burriss at second base. If he misses more time, look for Burriss to continue filling in at second. Heading into Saturday's game versus St. Louis, Hernandez should still be considered day-to-day.

Hernandez was scratched from Thursday's lineup due to a sore foot, Corey Seidman of CSN Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hernandez fouled a ball off the foot four days ago, but had not missed any games until Thursday. It sounds like a minor injury, but he could get another day off Friday if the Phillies want to give him some extra time to heal.

Manager Pete Mackanin was unhappy with Hernandez after he was thrown out trying to steal third in Saturday's loss to the Padres, Jim Salisbury of CSN Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hernandez has made numerous base running gaffes this season and has been caught stealing on eight of his 19 stolen base attempts. He has been productive at the plate, however, with a .333 average and .422 on-base percentage since the beginning of July. Given the Phillies' need for offense, Hernandez is unlikely to be benched for his mistakes, but he could get less chances to run, which would cut into his fantasy value.

Hernandez went 4-for-5 with a double and three runs scored in Tuesday's 13-8 win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
The top three hitters in Philadelphia's lineup combined for a ridiculous 11 hits, nine runs and nine RBI, with Hernandez getting the party started out of the leadoff spot. He has now hit safely in 9-of-10 games, scoring eight runs in that span after crossing home plate just once in the previous 11. The switch-hitting second baseman's value would rise dramatically if the Phillies lineup as a whole could start having more games like this one.
