Hernandez will start Sunday's game against the Orioles, Lynn Worthy of The Kansas City Star reports.
The righty has a 4.98 ERA and 30:15 K:BB in 21.2 innings this season, but all 12 of his appearances have come in relief. Hernandez did make three starts in 2020, so Sunday won't be an entirely unfamiliar experience for the 24-year-old. He enters an enticing matchup against Baltimore's underwhelming lineup.
