Enrique Hernández Stats

Boston Red Sox second baseman/outfielder Enrique Hernandez (hip) is recovering slowly from a strained right hip and will return at a later date than previously expected. According to Red Sox manager Alex Cora, Hernandez might have had a setback. The 30-year-old has been sidelined since June 5, and more details on the severity of his injury should be announced after further evaluation. Jarren Duran continues to fill in for Hernandez and has been the team's leadoff hitter the previous three games. Duran can be used as a streamer and should be added in all league formats while he has an everyday role. The Red Sox's top prospect has been solid recently, collecting three multi-hit performances and swiping two bags over his last four games.

Boston Red Sox second baseman Enrique Hernandez (hip) took two simulated at-bats against left-hander Chris Sale (ribs) on Thursday, and he's getting close to what the team expects to be a short minor league rehab assignment. Hernandez is recovering from a strained right hip and could play in some rehab games this weekend before rejoining the Red Sox early next week. Young outfielder Jarren Duran has been the team's leadoff hitter each of the last two days, but he could be headed for a limited role or a return to the minors when Hernandez is activated from the injured list. Hernandez has hit just .209/.273/.340 this year with four home runs, 24 RBI and 27 runs scored in 51 games for Boston, but he should return to regular playing time.

The Boston Red Sox placed second baseman/outfielder Enrique Hernandez (hip) on the injured list on Wednesday with a right hip flexor strain and recalled Jonathan Arauz from the minors in a corresponding move. Hernandez needs to take some time off after trying to play through his hip injury recently. It has likely affected his performance at the plate, as he's hitting just .209/.273/.340 with four home runs, 24 RBI and 27 runs scored in 238 plate appearances and 51 games so far in 2021. He's gone 13-for-55 (.236) with two homers and five RBI in the last two weeks. Christian Arroyo, who is hitting leadoff against Los Angeles Angels left-hander Reid Detmers on Wednesday, should see more playing time in the outfield with Hernandez on the shelf.
