2026 Fantasy Outlook
Hernandez showed early promise in Rookie Ball back in 2019, but his development stalled during the pandemic years, and he didn't reach the majors until last May despite a modest .220/.319/.454 line at Triple-A Jacksonville. He appeared in 87 games, starting in a part-time role before working his way into regular at-bats late in the season. His hard-hit and barrel rates are above average, and although he rarely chases, he still struck out 26.2 percent of the time. With solid walk rates and 84th percentile speed, Hernandez has the tools to emerge as a late bloomer if he can rein in the strikeouts. He's serviceable in a corner outfield spot and may also see time at designated hitter. In deeper draft-and-hold formats, he's worth a speculative pick in the later rounds. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the Marlins in March of 2026.
Likely to cede starts to Stowers
Hernandez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.
Analysis
Hernandez had started in left field in 13 of the Marlins' first 21 games of the season, but after posting a lowly .443 OPS in 60 plate appearances, he'll likely see his playing time against right-handed pitching take a big hit with Kyle Stowers (hamstring) making his return from the injured list Sunday. Stowers is expected to take over as an everyday player in left field, so moving forward, Hernandez looks as though he may have to settle for a short-side platoon role in right field or at designated hitter.

Stat Review
How does Heriberto 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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
After spending his first two professional seasons in the Rangers' organization, Hernandez was dealt to the Rays in December, headlining the return for Nate Lowe. The 21-year-old will aim to continue his development in a new farm system that's full of both impact prospects and high-probability future big leaguers. In 2019, Hernandez cracked 11 home runs, drove in 48 runs (he led the AZL in both categories) and swiped three bases while also posting an impressive .302 ISO and .440 BABIP. He doesn't really have a locked in position on defense -- he might just be a designated hitter -- but he hits the ball incredibly hard and should get to the majors on the strength of his bat. One area of his game to watch heading into the upcoming campaign is whether he's able to drive the ball to all fields, especially after a 51.5 Pull% in 2019.
