Marlins' Heriberto Hernandez: Smashes homer in win
Rotowire
Hernandez went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in the 8-2 win over Pittsburgh on Wednesday.
Hernandez extended the lead to 8-2 in the sixth with a crushing long ball to left-center off of Lake Bachar, his first homer in 10 games and 17th on the season. Hernandez had been mired in a 4-for-37 (.108 batting average) slump coming into Wednesday.
Hernandez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.
Unless the Marlins lose a corner outfielder to an injury or trade, Hernandez could have to settle for a part-time role against right-handed pitching. Hernandez had started every game dating back to July 8 while producing a .732 OPS during that span, but he looks to be the odd man out of the everyday lineup following Owen Caissie's return from the injured list Saturday.

Marlins' Heriberto Hernandez: Not in Tuesday's lineup
Rotowire
Hernandez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta.
Hernandez started the previous three games and delivered his first multi-hit effort of the season Monday, going 2-for-5 with a stolen base and a run scored. The 26-year-old has yet to find much success at the plate this season with a .163/.280/.209 slash line through 50 plate appearances.
Hernandez went 1-for-2 with a walk, a solo home run and a stolen base in Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Mets.
The 26-year-old outfielder is having an impressive start to his spring, going 4-for-14 (.286) with a double, two homers and three steals in three attempts. Hernandez likely won't keep up that kind of success on the basepaths in the regular season -- his career high in stolen bases is eight, set at Double-A in 2023 -- but he could be productive at the plate if he gets consistent playing time in 2026. As a rookie last year, he slashed .266/.347/.438 with 10 home runs in 87 games.
Hernandez is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Philadelphia.
It's a routine day off for Hernandez, who had started each of the previous five contests. Agustin Ramirez will serve as the Marlins' designated hitter and Liam Hicks will do the catching Thursday.
