Hernandez figures to take over in center after Steven Duggar (shoulder) was placed on the disabled list Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Duggar's shoulder injury will hold the center fielder out for at least a few weeks, and potentially rest of the regular season, opening up playing time for Hernandez in center. The 30-year-old had only started one of the Giants' last seven contests due to a second-half slump. The club also called up Gregor Blanco to provide depth in center, but Hernandez's .249/.299/.411 slash line and career-high 13 homers through 117 games should make him the primary option down the stretch.
