Red Sox's Gorkys Hernandez: Starts in left field
Gorkys Hernandez went 0-for-4 in Monday's 7-4 loss to the Rays.Hernandez, who started in left field for the injured Andrew Benintendi (thumb), has started four of the last five games. The Boston Red Sox have been dealing with injuries in the outfield -- last week it was Mookie Betts and J.D. Martinez, both of whom have returned to action, and now it's Benintendi.

Red Sox's Gorkys Hernandez: Called up, starting
The Boston Red Sox selected Gorkys Hernandez's contract from Triple-A Pawtucket. He'll start in center field and bat ninth Sunday against the Angels.After failing to win an Opening Day roster spot with the Red Sox coming out of spring training, Hernandez reported to Pawtucket and spent the entire campaign there, slashing .219/.319/.377 in 504 plate appearances. With the Angels bringing southpaw Andrew Heaney to the hill for the series finale, the righty-hitting Hernandez will check into the lineup immediately while the lefty-hitting Jackie Bradley takes a seat.

Red Sox's Gorkys Hernandez: Retreats to minor-league camp
The Boston Red Sox assigned Gorkys Hernandez to their minor-league camp Saturday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.With Andrew Benintendi, Jackie Bradley Jr. and Mookie Betts locked in as Boston's everyday starters in the outfield and designated hitter J.D. Martinez available to fill in at one of the corner spots as needed, there wasn't much of a need to keep Hernandez on hand as a depth option. Hernandez logged a career-high 451 plate appearances in the big leagues with the Giants a season ago, but he'll have trouble coming anywhere close to that level of playing time in 2019 unless multiple injuries deplete the Boston outfield.
