Hernaiz went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and two walks in Sunday's loss to the White Sox. With Max Muncy shifting to designated hitter, Hernaiz drew the start at third base and connected on his first homer of the season, a solo shot off Noah Schultz in the second inning. In addition to being his first long ball, Sunday's homer marked the utility infielder's first extra-base hit and RBI of the year. Hernaiz figures to continue operating primarily as a reserve, with most of his starts coming against left-handed pitching.

Darell Hernaiz: Breaking News
Nabs second steal
Hernaiz went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Thursday's loss to the Rangers. With Max Muncy getting the day off, Hernaiz drew the start at the hot corner and swiped his second base of the season. Playing time has been tough to come by for the utility infielder, and the results have been lackluster when he's been called upon as he's slashing .200/.238/.200 in 21 plate appearances. Hernaiz figures to see occasional action as a fill-in option for Muncy, Jeff McNeil and Jacob Wilson, and he's already played at least three games at second base, third base and shortstop this season.
Drawing second start of season
Hernaiz will start at second base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against Atlanta. Hernaiz will draw his second start of the season, both of which have come against left-handed pitchers. The 24-year-old appears poised to serve as an occasional platoon partner at second base with the left-handed-hitting Jeff McNeil, who will hit the bench for a second straight matchup versus a southpaw (Chris Sale).
