Gorkys Hernández News
Boston Red Sox outfielder Gorkys Hernandez will get the start in the outfield for Thursday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Jackie Bradley Jr. (rest) will get the night off against the left-handed starter. Hernandez hit 15 home runs with the Giants last season. He hasn't played in the majors this season, but could see some action when left-handed pitchers are on the mound. He'll bat eighth and cover center field versus lefty Martin Perez. Hernandez won't have much DFS value for this one.
The San Francisco Giants non-tendered relief pitcher Hunter Strickland and outfielder Gorkys Hernandez on Friday, making them free agents. Strickland served as the closer for a bit in 2018 and also broke his hand punching a door in June after a blown save. Overall, he went 3-5 with a 3.97 ERA, 1.41 WHIP, 14 saves and 37 strikeouts in 45 1/3 innings. The hard-throwing right-hander can be an effective late-inning weapon, but he doesn't have much fantasy value unless he's closing out games. Hernandez had career highs with 15 home runs and 40 RBI in 142 games in 2018. His mix of speed and power will help him get a job somewhere.
San Francisco Giants outfielder Gorkys Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Rockies. Hernandez crushed a hanging German Marquez offering into the center-field seats to break a 1-1 tie in the seventh inning. He now has a .246/.296/.417 slash line to go with 39 RBI and five stolen bases in 390 plate appearances. Hernandez is not a fantasy-relevant player this season given his mediocre performance and lack of consistent playing time.
