Kike Hernandez

Kike Hernandez went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBIs, a walk, and a run scored in Saturday's massive win over the Nationals.

Fantasy Impact

Kike Hernandez has strung together a rock solid season for the Red Sox. He took responsibility for the leadoff role, and ran with it. He has 20 homers and a career high 84 runs scored in 2021. While his ceiling will never be elite, he is a rock solid play going forward into next season.

Kike Hernandez went 2-for-3 with a double, two RBIs, two runs scored, and a walk in Sunday’s win over the Orioles.

Fantasy Impact

Kike Hernandez has been a great lead off hitter for Boston in 2021. He has set career bests in hits (116), runs (78), doubles (34), as well as ABs (463). He had been viewed in the past as more of a platoon guy, but in 2021 he has proven that he is more than capable of handling an every day role. He looks to score a lot more as the Sox everyday lead off hitter the rest of the way.

Kike Hernandez went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI, and a run scored on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

Hernandez has exceeded expectations in 2021. He has been an extremely productive lead off hitter for Boston this season. He has been more of a platoon guy against left handed pitching in his career, but has taken a step forward and been an every day player for the Sox. He owns a .254/.339/.455 line with 17 home runs and 52 RBIs.

Red Sox utility man Kiké Hernandez will return to the Red Sox lineup and will play center field in Tuesday's game against the Rays.

Fantasy Impact

Hernandez will return in the midst of a pivotal series against the Rays, which is good news for the Red Sox. Before being forced out of the lineup with COVID-19, Hernandez was slashing .327/.457/.527, and fantasy managers will hope that Hernandez will continue his hot hitting throughout the remainder of the fantasy playoffs.

Kiké Hernandez tested positive for COVID-19 and was placed on the injured list prior to Friday's game.

Fantasy Impact

This is the last thing Hernandez and the Red Sox need in the thick of a postseason push. He has had somewhat of a breakout year after signing as a free agent in the offseason. He is hitting .258 with 17 home runs, 51 runs batted in, 71 runs scored, and 30 doubles. Hopefully he is back sooner than later for the Red Sox and your fantasy lineup.
