Fantasy Impact:

Hernandez has a 4.25 ERA in 29.2 innings this season, in five starts and two relief appearances. He has an impressive 27.0 percent strikeout rate, and 6.4 percent walk rate. Nonetheless, the 24-year-old will be transitioned to the bullpen for now. He has an outside chance to factor into the ninth inning role, if Sergio Romo is removed from the closer's role, or is traded at the deadline.
