Hernandez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Hernandez was situated on the bench for a three-game stretch earlier this week, which was probably a result of manager Bruce Bochy's attempt to shake things up for a San Francisco offense that has been stagnant to begin the second half. The 30-year-old has since started three consecutive games, so it appears that his job in left field is safe. It is hard to blame Hernandez for the Giants' offensive woes, as he owns a .269/.318/.448 slash line with 12 homers this season.

Hernandez is out of the lineup against Seattle on Wednesday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hernandez will remain on the bench for a second straight day while Hunter Pence gets a start in left field for the series finale. Across 88 games this year, Hernandez is hitting .271/.320/.442 with 11 home runs, 30 RBI and four stolen bases.

Hernandez is out of Tuesday's lineup against the Mariners, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Even with the designated hitter available, the Giants were unable to squeeze Hernandez into the lineup, with Austin Slater, Steven Duggar and Andrew McCutchen starting from left to right in the outfield. Hernandez is hitting .217/.242/.333 with one home run in 60 at-bats this month.

Hernandez went 2-for-6 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's extra-innings win over the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Hernandez missed Monday's contest with a minor calf injury, but he has returned to the starting lineup in the Giants' previous two contests. The 30-year-old will split time in center field with the recently-promoted Steven Duggar, but he will retain his everyday status by starting in left on days where the latter is in the lineup. Hernandez is having a career year with a .277/.326/.458 slash line and 11 homers over 272 plate appearances.

Hernandez (calf) is leading off and starting in center field against the Cubs on Tuesday., Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hernandez sustained the calf injury during Sunday's game and was held out of the lineup Monday, although he was apparently available off the bench. The 30-year-old's quick return to the lineup confirms it to be a minor issue as the Giants take on left-hander Jose Quintana and the Cubs on Tuesday.

Hernandez (calf) will be available off the bench during Monday's series opener against the Cubs, Amy Gutierrez of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hernandez exited Sunday's matchup with a tight left calf, but it doesn't appear to be too serious, as he could pinch hit Monday, and he's expected back in the starting lineup Tuesday. The 30-year-old outfielder has been a key contributor through 80 games in 2018, batting .279 with 11 home runs and 27 RBI.

Hernandez (calf) is out of Monday's lineup against the Cubs, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Hernandez was diagnosed with a tight left calf following his removal from Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals, Amy reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is relatively good news for the Giants, as Hernandez shouldn't be forced to miss much time. He'll likely be reevaluated prior to Monday's series opener against the Cubs to determine his status moving forward.
