Hernandez (hamstring) is batting leadoff and playing center field Tuesday against the Blue Jays, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Hernandez was performing well at the plate before landing on the injured list May 7. Specifically, the 29-year-old drew three walks in his last two starts after walking just five times total in April. Hernandez's impressive defensive versatility should keep him in the lineup on a near-daily basis going forward, assuming good health.
