Fantasy Impact:

Hernandez’s 8.59 ERA in nine spring outings sank his Opening Day roster hopes, despite a 2.83 ERA over 28.2 innings at Sugar Land in 2024, though he struggled with 7 runs in 5 Astros games. The right-hander’s back in the minors. Fantasy managers in deep dynasty leagues might stash him, eyeing a rebound for a midseason call-up if Houston needs relief help.
