Washington Nationals outfielder Yadiel Hernandez had a nice day at the dish on Saturday, driving in four runs as his club went on to defeat the Astros 13-6. The 34-year-old had an RBI single in the first frame, and then followed that up with a three-run shot off Christian Javier to open up the floodgates in the third. He finished the contest going 2-for-5 as he's now up to a .337 BA with three homers, 11 runs, and 19 RBI as the primary holder of the fifth spot in the batting order. Hernandez is looking like a solid fantasy asset through the first month and a half of the season and should be on rosters in deeper mixed leagues.

Washington Nationals outfielder Yadiel Hernandez (mouth) is out of the lineup again Saturday after being a late scratch on Friday. The absence is due to a dental procedure he underwent, and it's unclear if he'll be back this season. The 33-year-old is slashing .274/.330/.414 with nine home runs and three stolen bases across 111 games. Andrew Stevenson will take his spot in the outfield again and bat sixth. Stevenson hasn't done much at the plate in 107 games this season, hitting .222 with a .606 OPS, and he can be left on the waiver wire in all formats.

Washington Nationals outfielder Yadiel Hernandez knocked his ninth home run of the year Wednesday, going 2-for-5 with the solo shot, a double, two RBI, and a run scored. Hernandez has played nearly every day since the trade deadline, and he's in a valuable lineup spot for RBI batting fifth behind Juan Soto and Josh Bell most days. He now has a .749 OPS, nine homers, 30 runs, 31 RBI, and three steals in 248 at-bats. He's a worthwhile deep-league play.

Washington Nationals outfielder Yadiel Hernandez hit a three-run home run off Braves reliever Tyler Matzek Tuesday that briefly tied the game at five before Atlanta eventually took the contest by a score of 8-5. The clutch shot was Hernandez's eighth of the season, and his season OPS now sits at .783 in 197 at-bats. He's been batting fifth in the lineup behind Juan Soto and Josh Bell most days, giving him some utility for fantasy managers in NL-only and deep mixed leagues in need of RBI.

Washington Nationals outfielder Yadiel Hernandez went back-to-back with Josh Bell Wednesday, launching a solo shot in the top of the seventh inning off Miami Marlins starting pitcher Edward Cabrera. Hernandez has an .836 OPS in 162 at-bats this year, and he's homered three times in his last seven games. He's a good pick-up while he's hot, and he's making a case to stay in the Nationals' plans for 2022, though at 33 years old, he couldn't be said to be part of any youth movement.

Washington Nationals outfielder Yadiel Hernandez went deep Saturday, hitting his sixth home run of the year off of Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Brent Suter. The solo shot was his only hit in four at-bats. Hernandez has also added three steals, 22 runs, and 19 RBI in 150 at-bats to go along with his .816 OPS this season. He seems primed to maintain a regular presence in the starting lineup the rest of the way, which would make him worthy of an add in deeper leagues.

Washington Nationals outfielder Yadiel Hernandez had a big day at the plate against the Toronto Blue Jays Tuesday, going 2-for-3 with a home run, three RBI, and two runs scored. The home run, a two-run shot off starting pitcher Alek Manoah, was Hernandez's fifth of the season. Hernandez has been on fire at the plate over his last 30 games, with a .373/.442/.567 slash line in 76 plate appearances. He's in a very advantageous position in the lineup behind Juan Soto and Josh Bell, making him a sneaky add for the rest of the season.

Washington Nationals outfielder Yadiel Hernandez has been one of the main beneficiaries of the team's trade deadline sell-off, at least in terms of playing time, and he's taken advantage of it in a big way, putting him on the radar for fantasy manager's. In Tuesday's suspended game which was completed Wednesday, Hernandez reaches three times via the walk in five plate appearances, scoring a run and stealing his third base of the season. In 128 at-bats this year, Hernandez has posted an .800 OPS with four homers and three steals while regularly batting fifth behind Juan Soto and Josh Bell. He's worth a look in deeper formats.

Washington Nationals outfielder Yadiel Hernandez was the star for the Nationals Sunday, going 4-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI. The second of those long balls was of the walk-off variety, giving the team a 6-5 victory over the Chicago Cubs. Hernandez has been excellent in limited time this year, slashing .303/.358/.465 with four homers in 99 at-bats. He is in position for plenty of playing time after the Nationals sold off so many players at the trade deadline, and he is worth a look in deeper fantasy formats.

Washington Nationals outfielder Yadiel Hernandez started game two of Thursday's doubleheader, going 2-for-3 with a double, two RBI, and a run scored against the Philadelphia Phillies. With the Nationals firmly in sell mode, playing time could open up for the lefty swinger, who has two homers and two steals in his 90 at-bats this season. Hernandez has been especially effective in his last 10 plate appearances, going 5-for-9 with a walk, four RBI, and three runs scored. Fantasy managers don't need to rush out to add him.
