Seattle Mariners outfielder Teoscar Hernandez went 1-for-4 on Tuesday, as his team lost their second straight game against the New York Yankees. Hernandez signed with the Mariners this past offseason but has struggled to find his form a bit in the early going.In 55 games, the 30-year-old outfielder has hit .234 and has an on-base percentage of .272. He has tallied 50 hits, nine home runs, and 28 RBI. His numbers have fallen from last year, but the good news is he's been better in May (.260 average, four doubles, two homers, 12 RBI) and has hit safely in six of his last seven games. Fantasy managers will be hoping he can carry this momentum into June.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Teoscar Hernandez went 0-for-4 during Wednesday's loss to the Rangers. The 30-year-old is hitting just .180 (9-for-50) with a lone homer and RBI over the last two weeks of action, causing him to fall to the seventh spot of the Mariners lineup for the first time this season. It could be time to field fantasy buy-low offers on the two-time Silver Slugger, who owns a very strong expected weighted on-base average on contact of .487, per Statcast. The speedy right fielder also has just one stolen base in two attempts on the campaign. Hernandez will get to face two left-handers during an upcoming weekend series against Detroit, and he's slugging .700 in 30 at-bats against southpaws in 2023.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Teoscar Hernandez went 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts in a 7-3 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday. The Mariners couldn't muster much on offense, plating just three runs. Hernandez was responsible for two of the M's 14 team strikeouts. Despite the hitless effort on Sunday, Hernandez had a solid series against the Cards, swatting a pair of home runs. Overall, the 30-year-old slugger is slashing .244/.283/.453 with five home runs, 13 RBI, and one stolen base across 86 at-bats. It's been a bit of a slow start for the former Blue Jay but Seattle's cold, damp April weather may have something to do with it. He should be just fine moving forward.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (back) returned to the lineup in Tuesday's 9-8 win over the Guardians. Batting third and playing right field, Hernandez went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a strikeout. The newly-acquired outfielder was scratched from Sunday's Cactus League lineup with back soreness but looked just fine in Tuesday's game. Seeing Hernandez back in the lineup is a good sign for the Mariners and fantasy managers, as he has been a higher-end power source over the last several seasons. As long as he's healthy, Hernandez should be a contributor in HR, runs, and RBI while also providing some steals and a decent batting average.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (back) is expected to be back in the team's Cactus League lineup on Tuesday after he was scratched from the spring lineup on Sunday against the Kansas City Royals due to back soreness. The move appears to have just been a precaution early in camp games. For now, the 30-year-old should be considered day-to-day, giving him a good chance to be ready for Opening Day at the end of March. Hernandez was acquired from the Blue Jays last November. He's leaving one of the best hitting environments in baseball, but he'll reside in one of the stronger lineups in the American League in Seattle, and he should hit in the heart of the order. Hernandez was an All-Star in 2021 and managed to hit 25 home runs in Toronto in 2022.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (back) was scratched from Sunday's Spring Training game against the Kansas City Royals due to back soreness. Although manager Scott Servais noted that the injury is not of major concern, Hernandez could return to the lineup by Monday. The 30-year-old was one of the biggest offseason acquisitions for Seattle after shipping Erik Swanson and Adam Macko to Toronto in exchange for the blossoming outfielder. With the Blue Jays in 2022, Hernandez slashed .267/.316/.491 with 25 HRs and a .807 OPS. He also accumulated a .348 wOBA and a 129 wRC+. Although his strikeout numbers skyrocketed after he compiled a 28.3% mark, that is certainly a concern heading into 2023. Overall, Hernandez is an elite-class hitter, and the power he supplies most certainly offsets any red flags.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Teoscar Hernandez has lost his arbitration hearing against the organization on Saturday. The two sides were $2 million apart when they exchanged figures last month. Hernandez will still take home the largest arbitration salary in league history at $14 million for the 2023 season. The 30-year-old slugger tops Gerrit Cole and Max Fried who held the record at $13.5 million. Hernandez was acquired by the Mariners from the Toronto Blue Jays earlier in the offseason. He hit .267/.316/.491 with an .807 OPS, 25 home runs, 77 RBI in 131 games last season. The hope is that he'll continue to have similar success with his new team.

The Seattle Mariners are expected to acquire outfielder Teoscar Hernandez from the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday in exchange for reliever Erik Swanson and left-handed pitching prospect Adam Macko, according to multiple MLB sources. Hernandez will effectively take over for Mitch Haniger, who will leave in free agency this offseason. The 30-year-old Dominican outfielder was an All-Star for the first time in 2021 and followed that up by hitting .267/.316/.491 with an .807 OPS, 25 home runs, 77 RBI, 71 runs scored and six stolen bases in 535 plate appearances over 131 games in Toronto. He'll be leaving one potent lineup for another and should remain very attractive in fantasy for his power RBI abilities with his new squad.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Baltimore Orioles in Game 1 of a doubleheader to wrap up the regular season. The Blue Jays will give Hernandez a little breather, but he'll likely be back in the lineup for Game 2. He's been hot at the plate of late and is batting .269/.317/.495 with an .812 OPS, 25 home runs, 77 RBI, 71 runs scored and six stolen bases in 495 at-bats on the year. Jackie Bradley Jr. is getting the start in right field and will hit seventh against Orioles right-hander Mike Baumann in Game 1.

The 29-year-old has taken a bit of a step back after a spectacular 2021 season, slashing .267/.316/.495 with 25 HRs, six steals, 70 runs, and 77 RBI. With three more games left, fantasy managers should continue to start Hernandez to help in every category, besides maybe stolen bases.

He was placed on the paternity list Wednesday but was shifted to the restricted list to receive an extra day off. The 29-year-old will be eligible to come off the restricted list on Sunday.

He could return for the series finale against the Rangers and had collected a hit in seven of his last eight games before landing on the paternity list.

In corresponding moves, the team recalled right-hander Zach Pop and catcher Gabriel Moreno from Triple-A Buffalo and optioned right-hander Mitch White to Buffalo in a corresponding move. Fantasy managers will now be without Hernandez for the next one to three games, so plan accordingly. Raimel Tapia is getting the start in right field and is hitting sixth on Wednesday against Baltimore Orioles right-hander Tyler Wells. Tapia could start in every game that Hernandez is out, but he's gone just 2-for-22 (.091) with no homers, one RBI, two runs scored and six strikeouts in seven games over the last two weeks.

Hernandez has been bothered by a sore left foot of late, but he'll be back in there after sitting out the series opener on Monday. The 29-year-old Dominican should be rostered in all fantasy formats, but he's been on a bit of a cold streak in the month of August, going 19-for-83 (.229) with four home runs, 10 RBI, 11 runs scored and 31 strikeouts in 23 games. In 380 at-bats in 2022, Hernandez is slashing .261/.313/.471 with 18 home runs, 59 RBI, 51 runs scored and six stolen bases as an outfield regular in a strong Toronto lineup.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Hernandez returned to the lineup on Sunday after missing the two games prior due to a left foot contusion. The assumption is that his absence is just rest and not his foot issue acting up. Regardless, Raimel Tapia will cover right field and bat eighth against right-hander Javier Assed on Monday. Fantasy managers will have to check back for another update on Hernandez.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (foot) is back in right field and is hitting sixth on Sunday against the Los Angeles Angels and left-hander Tucker Davidson. Hernandez was forced from the series opener on Friday with a left foot contusion and he didn't play on Saturday, but he'll be back in there for the series finale. Fantasy managers will want to get him back into their starting lineups against the left-hander. He's hitting only .225 (18-for-80) with four home runs, 10 RBI, 11 runs scored and 30 strikeouts in 22 games in the month of August, but Hernandez has been solid overall in 2022 with a .260/.311/.427 slash line, 18 home runs, 59 RBI, 51 runs scored and six stolen bases in 377 at-bats.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (foot) is out of the starting lineup on Saturday against the Los Angeles Angels. Hernandez was forced to leave Friday's action early with a left foot contusion, so fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Jackie Bradley Jr. is starting in right field in his place and is batting ninth against Angels right-hander Shohei Ohtani. DFS gamers should be able to find much better outfield options than Bradley on Saturday. George Springer will also move to center field for the first time since returning from the injured list. Fantasy managers need to keep him in their lineups. In 10 games played this month, he's gone 18-for-36 (.500) with no homers, nine RBI and seven runs scored.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez left Friday's game against the Los Angeles Angels with a foot injury. Hernandez fouled a ball off of his foot during the game and was removed with what the team is calling a left foot contusion.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (foot) is back in the starting lineup on Sunday against New York Yankees left-hander Nestor Cortes, serving as the designated hitter and batting cleanup. However, outfielder George Springer (knee) remains on the bench. Hernandez left the game early on Saturday after fouling a ball off his left foot, but he's back in there and should be back in starting fantasy lineups as well. The 29-year-old is hitting .265/.316/.487 with an .804 OPS, 18 homers, 58 RBI, 49 runs and six stolen bases on the season. Springer is missing his third straight game after going 5-for-5 on Thursday.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez left Saturday's game against the New York Yankees after fouling a ball off his left foot. Hernandez went for X-rays after the game and they came back negative, which is a good sign. He did say that he was still feeling some pain in his foot, so the Blue Jays will likely see how he feels tomorrow before making a lineup decision. The 29-year-old stud has looked like his usual self since his month-long slump back in May, and now has a solid fantasy line with a .265 AVG, 49 R, 58 RBI, 18 HR, and 6 SB over 356 AB. Fantasy managers in daily lineup leagues will want to be on alert tomorrow morning when the Blue Jays submit their lineup and get Hernandez back in if he plays.

The 29-year-old outfielder blasted two home runs and knocked in four runs during the 8-2 victory. This marks his first multi-homer game of the season. Hernandez struggled to do anything with the bat earlier in the season. Now, Hernandez is hitting .316 with nine homers, 12 doubles and 28 RBI in 40 games since June 1. Fantasy managers should check the waiver wire in case Hernandez is somehow still available.
