Cristian Hernandez Fantasy Stats

The Chicago Cubs have traded infield prospect Cristian Hernandez to the Miami Marlins in the package that sent Edward Cabrera to the North Side of Chicago. Hernandez was sent to Miami alongside Cubs' top prospect Owen Caissie and Edgardo DeLeon. Hernandez joined the Cubs' organization in 2021 but did not make his Low-A debut until the 2023 season. During his first season with Low-A Myrtle Beach, the 22-year-old posted a .223/.302/.301 line. In 2024, Hernandez spent most of the season in a second stint with Low-A but did earn a taste of High-A. This past season, the infielder spent the entire season at High-A South Bend, where he held a .252/.329/.365 line with an eye-catching 52 stolen bases and a career-high seven home runs. Dynasty managers should monitor his status as he could be in the mix to debut at Double-A later in 2026.

The New York Yankees signed utilityman Pablo Reyes and right-hander Cristian Hernandez to minor-league deals on Monday. Reyes, 31, has six seasons of MLB experience, most recently playing for the Boston Red Sox and New York Mets in 2024, where he hit a combined .183/.234/.217 with no homers and five RBI in 22 games played. He has played every position on the field except catcher and sports a career .248/.309/.349 slash line with eight homers, 54 RBI and 13 steals in 233 games. Hernandez, 24, has not pitched above Double-A and had a 3.40 ERA with 44 strikeouts and nine stolen bases in 42 1/3 innings for Double-A Reading in the Philadelphia Phillies organization this past season. Reyes, given his experience, is probably the better bet to play for the Yankees during the 2025 season as a utility bench option.
