Teoscar Hernández News
Seattle Mariners outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (back) returned to the lineup in Tuesday's 9-8 win over the Guardians. Batting third and playing right field, Hernandez went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a strikeout. The newly-acquired outfielder was scratched from Sunday's Cactus League lineup with back soreness but looked just fine in Tuesday's game. Seeing Hernandez back in the lineup is a good sign for the Mariners and fantasy managers, as he has been a higher-end power source over the last several seasons. As long as he's healthy, Hernandez should be a contributor in HR, runs, and RBI while also providing some steals and a decent batting average.
Seattle Mariners outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (back) is expected to be back in the team's Cactus League lineup on Tuesday after he was scratched from the spring lineup on Sunday against the Kansas City Royals due to back soreness. The move appears to have just been a precaution early in camp games. For now, the 30-year-old should be considered day-to-day, giving him a good chance to be ready for Opening Day at the end of March. Hernandez was acquired from the Blue Jays last November. He's leaving one of the best hitting environments in baseball, but he'll reside in one of the stronger lineups in the American League in Seattle, and he should hit in the heart of the order. Hernandez was an All-Star in 2021 and managed to hit 25 home runs in Toronto in 2022.
Seattle Mariners outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (back) was scratched from Sunday's Spring Training game against the Kansas City Royals due to back soreness. Although manager Scott Servais noted that the injury is not of major concern, Hernandez could return to the lineup by Monday. The 30-year-old was one of the biggest offseason acquisitions for Seattle after shipping Erik Swanson and Adam Macko to Toronto in exchange for the blossoming outfielder. With the Blue Jays in 2022, Hernandez slashed .267/.316/.491 with 25 HRs and a .807 OPS. He also accumulated a .348 wOBA and a 129 wRC+. Although his strikeout numbers skyrocketed after he compiled a 28.3% mark, that is certainly a concern heading into 2023. Overall, Hernandez is an elite-class hitter, and the power he supplies most certainly offsets any red flags.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Teoscar Hernandez was productive once again in 2022. He slashed .267/.316/.491 with 25 HRs, 71 runs, and 77 RBI across 131 games. Hernandez stole just six bases a season after swiping 12, but he still posted 84th-percentile sprint speed and might be more aggressive with Seattle, who have the 10th most stolen bases since 2020. The 30-year-old's batting average dropped from .296 in 2021, largely due to fewer line drives (24.8% line drive rate) and an increased 28.4% strikeout rate. However, Hernandez was one of the best at hitting the ball hard with 96th-percentile average exit velocity, and he still hit .289 despite a 30.4% strikeout rate in 2020. It's a given that he'll go deep a bunch next year. Hernandez owns a career 14.1% barrel rate and has hit an abundance of fly balls, including a 25.6% mark this season. Fantasy managers might not like the move to T-Mobile park. But the two-time Silver Slugger would have hit 31 long balls if he played all of his games in Seattle, compared to 28 at the Rogers Centre. And with Hernandez's ability to homer, he'll easily collect 80-plus RBI while scoring enough runs in a home run-happy lineup. All told, he'll provide value in multiple categories without hurting others. Hernandez is worth his 72 ADP and is a better option than many outfielders around him.
