Hernandez allowed a run on five hits and a walk with three strikeouts in 6.2 innings versus the Yankees on Monday. He did not factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old has allowed just two runs in his last 17.2 innings as he's settled into a groove at the major-league level. Hernandez's lone run allowed Monday came on a seventh-inning Luke Voit single. After a rocky beginning this year, Hernandez has a 4.11 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 52:25 K:BB through 46 innings. He's pitched well enough to force manager Mike Matheny to maintain a six-man rotation with Brady Singer (shoulder) returning Wednesday. That leaves Hernandez in line to make his next start versus Houston next week.
