2023 Fantasy Outlook
Hernandez missed two months in 2022 with a hip injury and struggled offensively when available with a .222/.291/.338 slash line in 93 games. He primarily worked in center field once again and remains a plus defender, but he hit only six home runs and had a career-low .116 ISO. Boston still inked Hernandez to a one-year, $10 million extension in September, so he'll be back for 2023. He was productive during his first campaign with the Red Sox in 2021 with a .786 OPS, 20 home runs and 84 runs, but it's unclear if he can replicate those numbers while entering his age-31 season. With Trevor Story set to miss at least the early part of the 2023 season while recovering from elbow surgery, Hernandez is expected to move into an everyday role in the middle infield in his third year in Boston.

Sitting for night game
Hernandez will be on the bench for the evening portion of Saturday's doubleheader against the Rays, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Hernandez went 1-for-4 and scored a run in Boston's 8-5 win in the afternoon game. He'll get a rest in the nightcap with Pablo Reyes taking over at shortstop.

Stat Review
How does Enrique Hernandez 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.

Two straight years of declining production with the Dodgers didn't deter Boston from signing Hernandez to a two-year, $14 million deal. Despite a subpar OBP and 12 career steals, Alex Cora challenged Hernandez to win the leadoff job and he went on to hit first in 118 of 134 starts. While his .337 OBP was relatively low, it was his highest since 2015. Despite an early stint on the IL for a sore hamstring and an extended second half stay on the COVID-19 IL, Hernandez posted a career high with 84 runs. Hernandez's 14 defensive runs saved was the third highest total for a centerfielder while his eight assists tied for second most. His 1.260 OPS in the playoffs helped Boston fall two wins shy of the World Series. Hernandez should garner everyday playing time, though it's unclear if it will be in the outfield or infield. Regardless, he should again compile bountiful counting stats, especially runs.
