César Hernández Stats

Per a tweet from The New York Post's Jon Heyman on Wednesday, veteran infielder Cesar Hernandez has reportedly agreed to a minor-league deal with the Detroit Tigers. Heyman tweeted the following on Wednesday: "Cesar Hernandez agrees to minors deal with Tigers. Invited to MLB camp." Hernandez hit .248 in 617 plate appearances for the Washington Nationals last year, adding a home run and 10 stolen bases in the process. Capable of playing second base, third base, and left field he'll give the Tigers some additional infield depth heading into the 2023 season.

Washington Nationals manager Dave Martinez said he'd love for second baseman Cesar Hernandez to be his leadoff hitter this season. It would be a curious placement for the 31-year-old switch-hitter, who had a .308 on-base percentage in 637 plate appearances with the Cleveland Guardians and Chicago White Sox in 2021. Hernandez has gotten on base at a .345 slip in his nine seasons in the big leagues, but he hasn't run much since 2018 -- just 11 stolen bases in the last three years. He had a career-high 21 long balls and drove in 62 last year, and a move to the top of the order in front of Juan Soto, Josh Bell and Nelson Cruz would certainly be a boost to his modest fantasy appeal.

Chicago White Sox second baseman Cesar Hernandez will become a free agent after the club declined its $6 million dollar option on him. Hernandez hit a career-high 21 homers this past season, but slashed a mediocre .232/.308/.386 in 570 at-bats for both Chicago and Cleveland. This represented a major step back for Hernandez in overall production, as he managed a .753 OPS over his previous five seasons combined. Should Hernandez manage to find a starting role this offseason, he could be a bargain for fantasy managers, especially in categories leagues where he's a sneaky target for runs scored.
