Hernandez will take over at third base after Cody Asche was optioned to Triple-A on Monday, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Hernandez's stint as a starter will likely be short lived. The Phillies are expected to bring Maikel Franco up from Triple-A as soon as this weekend. Hernandez has hit .250/.383/.271 with a stolen base in 48 at-bats this season.
