Hernandez's contract was selected by the Rangers on Thursday.

Hernandez progressed to Triple-A Round Rock to begin the 2021 campaign, and he recorded a .422 on-base percentage with a homer, 43 runs, 13 RBI and 22 stolen bases across 61 games. The 23-year-old will serve in a utility role after Eli White (elbow) was placed on the 10-day injured list. Hernandez will start at third base and bat ninth in his major-league debut Thursday. During his time in the big leagues, he figures to be one of the team's top options to serve as a pinch runner.
