Hernandez could hit atop the Indians' order, Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

The club had discussions of moving Francisco Lindor out of the leadoff spot in an effort to better utilize his power. If that happens, Hernandez would be a prime candidate to hit first in the Indians' lineup, particularly because he has walked at over a 10 percent rate in three of the past four seasons. The move would certainly be beneficial for Hernandez's run-scoring potential as he would likely be immediately followed by the likes of Oscar Mercado, Jose Ramirez and Lindor.

Hernandez signed a one-year, $6.25 million contract with the Indians on Monday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez was non-tendered by the Phillies at the beginning of December despite earning consistent playing time during his tenure with the team. The 29-year-old hit .279/.333/.408 with 14 home runs and 71 RBI in 2019 and will likely begin the season as the Indians' primary second baseman.

Hernandez was non-tendered by Philadelphia on Monday, Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez has been a key utility man for the Phillies over the last two seasons, playing in all but eight games. He hit .266 with 29 home runs and 131 RBI over that stretch but will be in search of a new home following Monday's transaction.

Hernandez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's loss to the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez cranked his 13th homer of the season in the form of a solo shot off Stephen Strasburg in the fourth inning to cut the Phillies' deficit in half. The 29-year-old leads Philadelphia this year in both batting average (.280) and hits (167).

Hernandez went 3-for-5 with an RBI on Thursday against the Braves.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez reached base three times, all of which came on base knocks. After a slow start to the month, he's recorded at least one hit in nine of his last 11 starts. He's also scored six runs and driven in nine in that span. Overall, he's maintained a .285/.339/.409 line across 150 games this season.

Hernandez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and another RBI in Thursday's win over the Braves.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez got the Phillies on the board with a solo shot off Julio Teheran in the first inning. The 29-year-old second baseman also tacked on an RBI single in the sixth to cap off a successful night at the plate and help lead the Phillies to a crucial victory amid the wild-card race. He now has 11 long balls with a team-leading 153 hits on the season.

Hernandez went 3-for-5 with a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

He led off the game with his ninth homer of the year, and that was all the offense Drew Smyly and the Phillies bullpen would need. The long ball was the first for Hernandez in over a month, but his .281/.333/.397 slash line is solid and he's now tied his career high in RBI with 60.

Hernandez went 3-for-5 with a double, three RBI and two runs Wednesday in the Phillies' 12-3 win over the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

The three RBI matched Hernandez's output from his previous 13 games combined. The second baseman served as the Phillies' leadoff man throughout the three-game series in Miami over the weekend, but he's since moved down to the sixth spot in the order following Bryce Harper's return from paternity leave. The drop in the lineup may hurt Hernandez's ability to score runs, but batting behind the likes of Harper, Rhys Hoskins and Jean Segura should translate to an uptick in RBI opportunities.

Hernandez will be on the bench Monday against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez hits the bench after starting 14 straight games, a stretch in which he hit .294/.400/.353. Scott Kingery will be the second baseman in his absence, with Adam Haseley starting in center field. Per Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer, Hernandez's absence is due to his lack of hustle during Sunday's loss to the Marlins.

Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a double, two walks and two runs Saturday in the Phillies' 9-3 win over the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez led off for the second straight contest and will do so again Sunday, but he'll likely shift to the bottom half of the lineup in the series opener versus the Pirates on Monday, when Bryce Harper (personal) is expected to return from the paternity list. Before leaving the team, Harper had occupied the No. 2 spot in the order while Rhys Hoskins handled leadoff duties.
