Hernandez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 3-2 win over Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Hernandez led off the bottom of the first inning with a game-tying homer. The second baseman has a career-high 17 long balls this season, including five in 19 July games. He's added a .227/.303/.419 slash line with 44 RBI and 59 runs scored. The 31-year-old has mainly served as the leadoff hitter this season, but Bradley Zimmer has recently seen time atop the order as well.

Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Tuesday's 9-3 loss to the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Hernandez picked up his lone hit of the night late in the game when he doubled home two runs in the eighth. The 31-year-old has tallied at least one hit in six of his last seven games and 11 of 14 games he's played in this month. For the year, Hernandez is slashing .223/.298/.406 with 15 homers, 41 RBI, 54 runs scored and a 35:89 BB:K over 389 plate appearances. He's on track for the lowest batting average of his career, largely due to the fact that he's striking out 22.9 percent of the time and has a .255 BABIP.

Hernandez went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in Saturday's win over the Royals.

Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to Houston.
EDGE Analysis
Hernandez hit his third homer in six games to tie the score at 3-3 in the eighth inning. In that span, he's added a double, five RBI and three runs scored. The second baseman has shown decent power with 14 long balls and a .408 slugging percentage, but he's hitting just .220 with 34 RBI and 49 runs scored through 79 contests overall. He could be due for some positive regression, as his .245 BABIP is 68 points below his previous worst season in the metric.

Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Hernandez slugged a solo homer to right field in the third inning of Game 1 of the twin bill, but that was the extent of his offensive output on the day aside from a harmless single in Game 2. He finished June with a .233/.293/.422 slash line, four homers and 13 RBI over the course of the month.

Hernandez went 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 13-5 win over the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
This marks his second three-hit performance this month and his fifth overall of the year. Hernandez scored in the first after leading off the inning with a single, and he roped an RBI double and scored again in the fourth. The 31-year-old is slashing .220/.299/.387 with 11 homers, 29 RBI, 46 runs scored and a 31:70 BB:K over 321 plate appearances. Despite all the homers, he's on pace for the worst triple-slash line of his career and hasn't recorded a stolen base since 2019 after he averaged 17.5 steals in a season from 2015-2018.

Hernandez went 3-for-5 with a home run and five RBI in Friday's 11-10 loss to the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
The second baseman keyed a late surge by Cleveland as it tried to climb out of an 11-1 hole, but his three-run shot in the seventh inning off Sam Howard was the only one of the team's 12 hits to go for extra bases on the night. Hernandez has picked up the pace in June, slashing .260/.345/.500 through 13 games with three of his 11 homers on the year and 11 of his 28 RBI.
