Hernandez has gone 1-for-7 in two games since returning from and oblique injury Monday.

The utility player's spring numbers remain horrid (.149/.212/.277), but it's good to see him back in action after missing several days with the oblique injury. He seems to be a cinch to make the Opening Day roster thanks to his defensive versatility, although it's possible Hernandez could be optioned to Triple-A when Howie Kendrick returns from a calf injury, as it may be tough to get him regular playing time. His opportunities may not match his skill level in the early going, but the fact that he can play up the middle in both the infield and the outfield should allow for him to find his way to consistent at-bats if one of the Dodgers' regulars is struggling.
