EDGE Analysis

Hernandez is progressing well in his recovery from a strained oblique, as he was able to work his way into the cage after taking dry swings Sunday. When he's ready, the 27-year-old is expected to head out on a rehab assignment before returning to the big club. He's still a few weeks out from his original six-week timetable.
