2025 Fantasy Outlook
Hernaiz made the Athletics' Opening Day roster last season and was carving out a regular role when he went down with a severely sprained ankle in early May which sidelined him for nearly three months. The 23-year-old never gained any momentum at the plate either before or after the injury, ultimately finishing with a lowly .503 OPS which ranked 442nd out of 455 players to reach 100 plate appearances. Hernaiz has slashed .312/.376/.448 in 95 games at the Triple-A level, although his home venue in Las Vegas during that time was extremely hitter-friendly. While Hernaiz has solid plate discipline, he lacks power and he hasn't done much running since A-ball. Hernaiz could compete for the Athletics' third base job but appears best suited to be a utility infielder. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the Athletics in March of 2025.
Stepping in as everyday shortstop
Hernaiz will start at shortstop and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Analysis
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.

Stat Review
How does Darell Hernaiz compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
It's too bad Hernaiz's context isn't better, because he's an underrated talent. His lack of impact speed, terrible home park and sub-standard teammates cap his ceiling, but he's a strong draft-and-hold target or AL-only bench option due to his floor and path to playing time. Hernaiz only hit nine home runs last year while stealing 13 bases, but he hit .321 with a 13.4 K%, 105.4 mph 90th percentile EV and a 112 mph maxEV (very good data for a 22-year-old shortstop). It wouldn't be surprising to see him hit .275 with 10 homers and 15 steals if he were in the big-league lineup for 135 games or so. The depth chart is wide open, with Nick Allen and Aledmys Diaz the only other shortstops on the roster.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Promotion could be on horizon
Robert Murray of FanSided.com speculates that Hernaiz could be the next prospect called up by the Athletics.
Analysis
The 22-year-old is one of Oakland's top prospects and was promoted to Triple-A Las Vegas in mid-July after opening the campaign with Double-A Midland, where he had an .872 OPS in 72 games. Hernaiz is hitting even better at Triple-A with a .351/.419/.526 slash line through 129 plate appearances. Fellow prospect Zack Gelof has impressed at second base in his first taste of the majors this summer, but Nick Allen's .518 OPS at shortstop leaves the door open for Hernaiz to make his MLB debut down the stretch.
