Hernandez will start in center field and bat seventh Friday in Game 5 of the NLDS against the Padres, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

EDGE Analysis

Miguel Rojas (thigh) is absent from the lineup, as expected, and the Dodgers will shift Tommy Edman to shortstop while Hernandez occupies center field. Hernandez started at third base in Game 4 and went 2-for-4 with a run scored.

Hernandez went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday's win over the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez went deep to left center in the seventh to bring the Dodgers within two runs of the Rockies. He now has two homers and five RBI in his last four games, which has accounted for all of his RBI since Aug. 27. He continues to work in a platoon at second base with Gavin Lux, but Hernandez was awarded the start Sunday at third after Max Muncy was scratched due to side soreness. If Muncy were to be held out more during the week, Hernandez could pick up a few extra starts.

Hernandez went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in an 8-4 victory over the Marlins on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez capped a big fourth inning for the Dodgers with a 430-foot, three-run blast. The long ball was his first over his past 16 contests, and the trio of RBI were his first runs batted in over that span. Hernandez has been working in a platoon with Gavin Lux at second base -- the former has started four of Los Angeles' past five games against southpaw starters while Lux has been getting all of the starts against right-handers.

Hernandez will start at second base and bat ninth in Monday's game against Atlanta, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez will occupy second base for the second time in three games, with both of his starts coming against left-handed pitchers. He appears to have emerged as the preferred platoon partner at the keystone for the left-handed-hitting Gavin Lux.

Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez scored the game's first run with a solo blast to center off Jacob Lopez in the fifth. He's now homered in back-to-back starts after having just one homer since July 21 and has seven RBI in his last eight starts. For the year, the 33-year-old is slashing .215/.276/.350 with nine homers, 33 RBI, 33 runs and a 26:67 BB:K in 326 plate appearances.

Hernandez went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run in Friday's 7-3 win over the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

The Dodgers were behind early, but Hernandez went deep in the fifth inning off Rays starter Tyler Alexander to tie the game at 3-3. Hernandez went 7-for-32 (.219) over 10 contests between his two most recent homers, and this was his fourth multi-hit effort over 18 games in August. The utility man is now slashing .215/.276/.341 with eight homers, 32 RBI, 32 runs scored and no stolen bases over 100 games this season. Friday was the first time the Dodgers have faced a southpaw starter since Max Muncy was activated from the injured list Monday, so it's possible Hernandez could still find his way into the lineup versus southpaws with some regularity.

Hernandez went 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez posted his second three-hit game this month. He came up big in the 10th with a leadoff double to tie the game before eventually coming around to score the winning run. Over his last nine games, Hernandez is slashing .333/.405/.545 with seven RBI, six runs and a 4:4 BB:K. He's reached base safely in all but one game over that span. For the year, the 32-year-old is slashing .214/.281/.338 with seven homers, 26 RBI, 30 runs and a 25:63 BB:K in 292 plate appearances.

Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 9-5 win over the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez went 14-for-57 (.246) during his 16-game homer drought, which he snapped with a fifth-inning blast Friday. The utility man is up to seven homers this year. He hasn't hit consistently or for power well this year with a .209/.276/.333 slash line, 25 RBI, 28 runs scored and 11 doubles over 89 contests. Despite Hernandez's flaws, he's seen a starting role at third base lately, though he'll likely get platooned once Max Muncy (oblique) completes a rehab assignment.

Hernandez went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk, two runs and two RBI in Saturday's 10-0 win over Oakland. He also pitched one inning, giving up a hit and no runs.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez was part of a late-game explosion by Los Angeles' offense, as he doubled home a run in the eighth inning and added another RBI on a single in the ninth. Those contributions helped the Dodgers build a 10-0 lead, and manager Dave Roberts consequently let Hernandez pitch the ninth. He did well in lofting pitches to A's hitters, giving up a two-out double but nothing more. Hernandez has gone 4-for-7 with two walks over the first two games of the weekend set versus Oakland.

Hernandez went 3-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Thursday's 6-4 win against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez opened the scoring in the contest with a second-inning RBI single and added a run-scoring double in the fourth. The utility man has hit safely in four of his past six games and is slashing .318/.318/.545 with a home run, four RBI and four runs over that span. With the Dodgers' infield decimated by injuries to Mookie Betts (hand), Max Muncy (oblique), Miguel Rojas (forearm) and Chris Taylor (groin), Hernandez has had an opportunity to play nearly every day. He's started at shortstop or third base in each of Los Angeles' past five contests.
