Hernandez (hip) will take batting practice tomorrow but isn't close to returning to game action, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez resumed swinging a bat in late July and has been progressing well in his recovery after he received a platelet-rich plasma injection shortly before the All-Star break. However, the 30-year-old will still require some time before he's cleared to begin a rehab assignment. Manager Alex Cora said last weekend that he hopes Hernandez will be able to return sometime in August, but a better timetable for his return is unlikely to be revealed until he resumes game action.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Hernandez (hip) felt good after swinging a bat Saturday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Taking swings represents the first meaningful activity for Hernandez since he required a platelet-rich plasma injection shortly before the All-Star break to alleviate pain in his right hip. Hernandez is expected to steadily ramp up his activity in the days to come, and Cora said the goal is for the 30-year-old to make his return from the 60-day injured list at some point in August.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Hernandez (hip) could resume swinging a bat Friday, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

After he was recently transferred to the 60-day injured list, Hernandez won't be eligible to return until the second week of August, but it's unclear if he'll be ready to go by then. The Red Sox likely won't be able to pinpoint a target timeline for Hernandez's return until he's able to resume full baseball activities and head out on a minor-league rehab assignment. His ability to take some swings during the upcoming weekend would at least represent a step in the right direction.

Hernandez (hip) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Saturday, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

He last played June 7, so we know that he won't be back until early August at the earliest. Hernandez has been working out but hasn't resumed baseball activities. This move allowed Jaylin Davis to be added to the active roster.

Hernandez (hip) has been working out recently but hasn't yet resumed baseball activities, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez visited with a hip specialist in mid-July after being pulled from his rehab assignment, and he received a platelet-rich plasma injection. While it's encouraging that he's been cleared to work out, he's unlikely to have a better timetable to return to game action until he's able to resume baseball activities.

Hernandez (hip) received a platelet-rich plasma injection Friday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez visited a hip specialist Thursday and is hoping the injection will speed up his recovery process. His injury is still being described as a flexor strain, and he's slated to ramp up his activity level following the All-Star break, which would likely put him on track to return from the injured list in late July or early August.

Hernandez (hip) visited a hip specialist in New York on Thursday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The visit was to determine if there's a more serious issue in Hernandez's hip. The Red Sox shut down the outfielder's rehab assignment after one game due to lingering discomfort.

Hernandez (hip) was pulled from his rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday and will visit a specialist to be re-evaluated later this week, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez had the rehab stint paused over the weekend, and he won't immediately rejoin the Triple-A affiliate after receiving some treatment. The specifics of the setback remain unclear, but the 30-year-old's availability coming out of the All-Star break is now in question.

Hernandez (hip) had his rehabilitation assignment paused Saturday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez began the rehab assignment Friday night, serving as the designated hitter for Triple-A Worcester, and felt tightness following the game. That prompted the organization to halt his rehab and send Hernandez to Boston for treatment. Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Hernandez is unlikely to play Sunday.

Hernandez (hip) won't play at Triple-A Worcester on Saturday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez went 0-for-4 while serving as the designated hitter for Worcester on Friday, but he didn't feel great following the rehab game. The 30-year-old's timetable to return to the major-league club will depend on when he's able to return to action in the minors.
