Hernandez is a favorite to win a bench job with the Phillies this spring, the team's official site reports. Hernandez is out of options, so the Phillies risk losing him if they try to send him back to the minors. If he wins a spot, he would likely be the primary backup at second base, and he can also play short and third in a pinch. He has hit .264 with a .624 OPS in 256 plate appearances with the Phillies over the past two seasons.
