Hernandez is hitting .353 (12-for-34) with four stolen bases in 11 games this spring.
EDGE Analysis
Hernandez will open the year as the Phillies' starting second baseman. He stole 19 bases last season in 127 games. Reaching 30 stolen bases this season is not out of the question if he stays healthy and runs at a solid pace.

Hernandez (thumb) was placed on the 60-day disabled list Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The move officially ends Hernandez's season a day after he dislocated his thumb. The 25-year-old was a pleasant surprise at the dish this season, batting .272/.339/.348 with 35 RBI, 57 runs scored and 19 stolen bases. In his absence, the Phillies will likely turn mainly to the combination of Darnell Sweeney and Andres Blanco at second base, while the newly-recalled Chase d'Arnaud figures to see some time as well.

Phillies manager Pete Mackanin said Hernandez (dislocated thumb) does not look for the rest of the season, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Phillies are worried that Hernandez injured a ligament in his thumb, which would likely bring his season to an early end. He's scheduled to visit a hand specialist Monday, so there should be another update within the next couple days. If Hernandez misses the rest of the year, it will leave more playing time at second base for Darnell Sweeney and Andres Blanco.

Hernandez went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in the Phillies' 4-3 win over the Padres on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis

The Phillies are still committed to Hernandez as their starting second baseman, but he could lose a little playing time to Darnell Sweeney who has made a case for additional playing time according to interim manager Pete Mackanin.
