Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Plates pair in win
Hernaiz went 2-for-3 with two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 7-2 victory over the Angels.
Hernaiz played a role in Saturday's win, delivering a two-out, two-run single with the bases loaded off Tyler Anderson in the third inning. The infielder has seen fairly consistent playing time since Jacob Wilson went down with a forearm injury and has made the most of it, posting a .758 OPS through 16 games at the big-league level this season.

Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Leaves yard Tuesday
Hernaiz went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, a walk and three RBI in Tuesday's win over the Nationals.
Hernaiz left the yard for the second time in six games since being called up from Triple-A Las Vegas to take the Jacob Wilson's (forearm) spot at shortstop. Hernaiz has now recorded a hit in five of six games and has not struck out over 22 at-bats. Hernaiz should continue to get a lot of at-bats with Wilson's timeline to return still unclear.

Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Stepping in as everyday shortstop
Hernaiz will start at shortstop and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.
With Jacob Wilson (forearm) stuck on the injured list, Hernaiz appears to have taken over as the Athletics' primary shortstop. He'll collect his fifth straight start Sunday after going 5-for-14 with a solo home run over the previous four contests.

Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Goes deep in victory
Hernaiz went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in a 5-4 win against Seattle on Wednesday.
Hernaiz isn't known for his power, but he gave the A's a 4-1 lead with a 410-foot shot to left field in the fifth inning Wednesday. It was just his second start of the season after being recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday. Hernaiz shouldn't be looked to for power -- he hit just four home runs over 95 games with Las Vegas -- but he could provide a decent batting average boost if he plays enough, as he's hit over .300 in every minor-league stop since the beginning of the 2023 campaign.

Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Recalled from Triple-A
The Athletics recalled Hernaiz from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.
The 23-year-old will join the big-league roster as the replacement for Jacob Wilson (forearm), who landed on the injured list Tuesday. Hernaiz has spent the entire season in Triple-A, slashing .305/.384/.423 with 50 RBI, 66 runs scored and 12 steals through 441 plate appearances. Max Schuemann will likely see the bulk of the starts at shortstop while Wilson is out, though Hernaiz could crack the starting nine against southpaws.

Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Cut from big-league camp
The Athletics optioned Hernaiz to Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.
Hernaiz turned in a lowly .503 OPS over 48 games in the majors with the Athletics last season and hit just .194 in Cactus League play, so he never seemed to built much of a case for a spot on the Opening Day roster. The 24-year-old infielder should get the chance to play on an everyday basis at Triple-A.

Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Contributes as in-game replacement
Hernaiz entered Sunday's loss to the Mariners as a defensive replacement at third base in the seventh inning and went 1-for-1 with a two-run double.
Hernaiz made things interesting during his only plate appearance, doubling home Seth Brown and Zack Gelof in the ninth inning to slice a four-run deficit in half. The young infielder played only 48 games at the major-league level during his rookie 2024 campaign, with a near two-month stay on the injured list due to an ankle issue playing a large part. Hernaiz finished with just a .192 average and .503 OPS across 135 plate appearances; however, the combination of his adequate 8.1 percent walk rate and 20.0 percent strikeout rate in his first brush with big-league arms and his career .294/.358/.424 minor-league slash line imply he could certainly take a notable step forward if he remains healthy in 2025.

Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Recalled Tuesday
Hernaiz was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.
Hernaiz was optioned at the end of August after playing in 20 games in his return from the 60-day injured list. He now rejoins the big-league club after posting an .836 OPS in Triple-A since then. In a corresponding move, Ryan Noda was optioned to Double-A Midland.

Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Sent back to Triple-A
The Athletics optioned Hernaiz to Triple-A Las Vegas following Sunday's 4-3 win over the Brewers.
Hernaiz's demotion clears room on the roster for fellow infielder Jacob Wilson (hamstring), who appears set to return from the 10-day injured list ahead of the Athletics' next game Tuesday in Cincinnati. Since being activated from the 60-day IL earlier this month, Hernaiz had settled in as the Athletics' primary option at third base, but he slashed just .209/.306/.326 with three extra-base hits and no stolen bases over 15 games to earn a trip back to Triple-A. With Wilson likely to take over as the Athletics' everyday shortstop, Max Schuemann is expected to slide over from shortstop to replace Hernaiz at third base.

Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Not starting Saturday
Hernaiz isn't in the Athletics' lineup for Saturday's game against Milwaukee.
Hernaiz went 0-for-3 with a walk and an RBI in Friday's series opener, and he'll now take a seat Saturday while Tyler Nevin starts at third base and bats seventh.

Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Hits pair of doubles
Hernaiz went 2-for-4 with two doubles and an RBI during Thursday's 3-1 win over the Rays.
The 22-year-old entered Thursday's contest with zero doubles in 113 plate appearances but notched a pair of two-baggers off Jeffrey Springs. While the Hernaiz has struggled to a .202/.267/.250 slash line this season, he'll likely continue to see plenty of work down the stretch for the 55-73 Athletics.

Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Out of Wednesday's lineup
Hernaiz is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.
It's the second time on the bench in the past three days for Hernaiz, who has a .206/.289/.294 slash line through 11 games in August. Tyler Nevin will start at the hot corner and bat sixth in his place.

Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Sitting out Monday
Hernaiz is not in the lineup for Monday's contest against the Rays, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Hernaiz had started each of the last five and seven of the last eight games at third base, but he will begin this one on the bench. Abraham Toro is getting the call at the hot corner in the series opener versus the Rays.

Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: On base three times Wednesday
Hernaiz went 2-for-3 with a walk in a loss to the Mets on Wednesday.
Hernaiz had one of two multi-hit efforts for the Athletics in a game where their bats quieted considerably. The rookie finally pulled his season average up to the Mendoza Line with Wednesday's production, and he's now hitting an even .300 over the 22 plate appearances covering his last six games.

Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Starting at hot corner again
Hernaiz will start at third base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Mets, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Hernaiz is emerging as Athletics manager Mark Kotsay's preferred choice at the hot corner, having started at the position four times in a five-game span. The 23-year-old has posted a poor .561 OPS in August since being reinstated from the 60-day injured list Aug. 4, although that's better than what Abraham Toro (.345 OPS) has provided so far this month.

Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Back on bench Sunday
Hernaiz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.
Hernaiz had started in each of the last three games, but he'll likely move back into more of a utility role after Seth Brown returned from the paternity list Saturday. In Sunday's series finale, the Athletics will roll out an infield of Brown at first base, Zack Gelof at second base, Max Schuemann at shortstop and Abraham Toro at third base, and that will likely be the team's preferred configuration against right-handed pitching going forward.

Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Slugs first big-league homer
Hernaiz went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Blue Jays on Friday.
The rookie accounted for the Athletics' only run of the game with his 391-foot shot to left center in the third inning, his first big-league homer. Friday's start was the fourth in six games for Hernaiz since returning from the 60-day injured list, and he's now hit safely in two of the last three contests. However, Friday's blast was the first extra-base hit of his career as well, and he's still limping along with a .188 average and .472 OPS across 90 plate appearances this season.

Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Hitless in return to action
Hernaiz (ankle), reinstated from the injured list earlier in the day, started at second base and went 0-for-4 in a loss to the Dodgers on Saturday.
The rookie infielder logged his first big-league action since May 7 after finally overcoming a troublesome ankle injury. Hernaiz had hit well during his rehab assignment with Triple-A Las Vegas, but it wouldn't be surprising if his timing against major-league arms, which was still very much a work in progress at the time of his placement on the IL, takes a while to develop.

Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Reinstated from IL
Oakland reinstated Hernaiz (ankle) from the 60-day injured list Friday.
Hernaiz had been on the injured list since May 8 due to a left ankle sprain. He started his rehab assignment at Triple-A Las Vegas on July 20, and across his nine games, he slashed .364/.432/.545 with two stolen bases, three doubles, one home run and two RBI across 37 plate appearances. To make room for Hernaiz on the 40-man roster, the Athletics transferred right-hander Luis Medina (elbow) to the 60-day injured list. Hernaiz had been given a brief look in an everyday role prior to landing on the IL, but he may have to settle for a utility role upon his return with Zack Gelof, Abraham Toro and Max Schuemann seemingly locked in as Oakland's starters at second base, third base and shortstop, respectively.

Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Remains on assignment Tuesday
Hernaiz (ankle) played a full game at shortstop in Triple-A Las Vegas' loss to Albuquerque on Tuesday, going 2-for-4 with a walk and three runs.
Hernaiz was charged with an error as well, but otherwise, his night was yet another step in the right direction. The 22-year-old appears ready for activation at any point moving forward, as he's now forged a .345 average and .873 OPS across 33 plate appearances over eight rehab games. Hernaiz has experience playing every infield position besides first base.
