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. Read Past Outlooks

Another standout rehab effort
Hernaiz (ankle) started at shortstop and played seven innings in Triple-A Las Vegas' extra-inning win over Reno on Tuesday, going 3-for-5 with an RBI double, a stolen base and two runs.
ANALYSIS
Hernaiz was back on defense after a day off Monday, and he delivered an encouraging offensive performance in addition to logging a full workload on defense without issue. The recovering infielder has hit safely in three straight rehab games and has back-to-back multi-hit efforts, suggesting he may not have much left to prove in the minors before activation.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
![OAK](https://content.rotowire.com/images/teamlogo/baseball/100OAK.png?v=6)
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.
