  Rotowire Sep 24, 2025

• Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Sitting after five straight starts

  Rotowire Sep 7, 2025

  Hernaiz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

Brett Harris will cover third base in Hernaiz's stead Sunday.

• Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Posts second steal

  Rotowire Sep 6, 2025

  Hernaiz went 2-for-5 with a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 10-4 win over the Angels. Hernaiz has maintained a decent share of playing time over the last week as the Athletics' primary third baseman, but his bat hasn't kept up. He has gone a modest 4-for-20 over his last six games, posting a 3:3 BB:K in that span. His steal Friday was his second of the season, and that's been on six attempts, which isn't great considering he stole 12 bases without getting caught over 95 games to begin the season with Triple-A Las Vegas. Hernaiz has added a middling .250/.323/.357 slash line with two home runs, 12 RBI and 13 runs scored over 32 contests in the majors this year.

• Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Stepping in as everyday shortstop

  Rotowire Aug 3, 2025

  Hernaiz will start at shortstop and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks. With Jacob Wilson (forearm) stuck on the injured list, Hernaiz appears to have taken over as the Athletics' primary shortstop. He'll collect his fifth straight start Sunday after going 5-for-14 with a solo home run over the previous four contests.

• Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Recalled from Triple-A

  Rotowire Jul 29, 2025

  The Athletics recalled Hernaiz from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday. The 23-year-old will join the big-league roster as the replacement for Jacob Wilson (forearm), who landed on the injured list Tuesday. Hernaiz has spent the entire season in Triple-A, slashing .305/.384/.423 with 50 RBI, 66 runs scored and 12 steals through 441 plate appearances. Max Schuemann will likely see the bulk of the starts at shortstop while Wilson is out, though Hernaiz could crack the starting nine against southpaws.

• Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Sent back to Triple-A

  Rotowire Aug 26, 2024

  The Athletics optioned Hernaiz to Triple-A Las Vegas following Sunday's 4-3 win over the Brewers. Hernaiz's demotion clears room on the roster for fellow infielder Jacob Wilson (hamstring), who appears set to return from the 10-day injured list ahead of the Athletics' next game Tuesday in Cincinnati. Since being activated from the 60-day IL earlier this month, Hernaiz had settled in as the Athletics' primary option at third base, but he slashed just .209/.306/.326 with three extra-base hits and no stolen bases over 15 games to earn a trip back to Triple-A. With Wilson likely to take over as the Athletics' everyday shortstop, Max Schuemann is expected to slide over from shortstop to replace Hernaiz at third base.

  Rotowire Aug 24, 2024

  Hernaiz isn't in the Athletics' lineup for Saturday's game against Milwaukee. Hernaiz went 0-for-3 with a walk and an RBI in Friday's series opener, and he'll now take a seat Saturday while Tyler Nevin starts at third base and bats seventh.

• Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Slugs first big-league homer

  Rotowire Aug 10, 2024

  Hernaiz went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Blue Jays on Friday. The rookie accounted for the Athletics' only run of the game with his 391-foot shot to left center in the third inning, his first big-league homer. Friday's start was the fourth in six games for Hernaiz since returning from the 60-day injured list, and he's now hit safely in two of the last three contests. However, Friday's blast was the first extra-base hit of his career as well, and he's still limping along with a .188 average and .472 OPS across 90 plate appearances this season.

• Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Reinstated from IL

  Rotowire Aug 2, 2024

  Oakland reinstated Hernaiz (ankle) from the 60-day injured list Friday. Hernaiz had been on the injured list since May 8 due to a left ankle sprain. He started his rehab assignment at Triple-A Las Vegas on July 20, and across his nine games, he slashed .364/.432/.545 with two stolen bases, three doubles, one home run and two RBI across 37 plate appearances. To make room for Hernaiz on the 40-man roster, the Athletics transferred right-hander Luis Medina (elbow) to the 60-day injured list. Hernaiz had been given a brief look in an everyday role prior to landing on the IL, but he may have to settle for a utility role upon his return with Zack Gelof, Abraham Toro and Max Schuemann seemingly locked in as Oakland's starters at second base, third base and shortstop, respectively.

• Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Remains on assignment Tuesday

  Rotowire Jul 31, 2024

  Hernaiz (ankle) played a full game at shortstop in Triple-A Las Vegas' loss to Albuquerque on Tuesday, going 2-for-4 with a walk and three runs. Hernaiz was charged with an error as well, but otherwise, his night was yet another step in the right direction. The 22-year-old appears ready for activation at any point moving forward, as he's now forged a .345 average and .873 OPS across 33 plate appearances over eight rehab games. Hernaiz has experience playing every infield position besides first base.

• Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Solid workload in rehab games

  Rotowire Jul 28, 2024

  Hernaiz (ankle) played in back-to-back rehab games for Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday and Saturday, logging eight innings at second base in the former and taking a full allotment of plate appearances as the designated hitter in the latter. Hernaiz went a combined 2-for-9 during that stretch and has hit .364 over 24 plate appearances across six rehab games overall. The 22-year-old has also gotten the green light for a pair of steal attempts -- both successful -- during his time in the minors, supporting the notion his previously injured ankle could be back to full strength. Hernaiz appears well on track to be activated from the 60-day injured list at some point early in the coming week.

• Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Another standout rehab effort

  Rotowire Jul 24, 2024

  Hernaiz (ankle) started at shortstop and played seven innings in Triple-A Las Vegas' extra-inning win over Reno on Tuesday, going 3-for-5 with an RBI double, a stolen base and two runs. Hernaiz was back on defense after a day off Monday, and he delivered an encouraging offensive performance in addition to logging a full workload on defense without issue. The recovering infielder has hit safely in three straight rehab games and has back-to-back multi-hit efforts, suggesting he may not have much left to prove in the minors before activation.

• Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Kicks off rehab assignment Saturday

  Rotowire Jul 21, 2024

  Hernaiz (ankle) started at designated hitter in Triple-A Las Vegas' loss to Salt Lake on Saturday, going 1-for-3 with a double. The rookie infielder was logging his first game action since May 7 and put together an encouraging performance overall. Hernaiz figures to need an extensive rehab assignment given the amount of time he's been sidelined, and his next appearance with the Aviators may also see him play at least a partial game on defense.

• Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Begins hitting progression

  Rotowire Jun 20, 2024

  Hernaiz (ankle) has begun a hitting progression, MLB.com reports. Hernaiz was able to shed his walking boot in the first half of June, and he's now graduated to baseball work from the strength and fitness program. The infielder will likely progress to full baseball activities after the hitting progression before eventually embarking on what could be a fairly robust rehab assignment.

• Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Sheds walking boot

  Rotowire Jun 11, 2024

  Hernaiz (ankle) is out of his walking boot and will begin a strength and fitness program this week, MLB.com reports. The 22-year-old has been making very slow progress from his severe ankle sprain, but it appears his recovery is starting to gather some momentum just over a month after he initially suffered the injury. Hernaiz's next step after the strength and fitness program will be to resume baseball activities, with the start date for that benchmark still to be determined.

• Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Transferred to 60-day IL

  Rotowire May 15, 2024

  The Athletics transferred Hernaiz (ankle) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Wednesday. The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander Aaron Brooks, who was called up from Triple-A Las Vegas ahead of his scheduled start Wednesday versus the Astros. Hernaiz suffered a severe left ankle sprain last week and now won't be eligible to return until early July. Max Schuemann has since taken over as Oakland's everyday shortstop in his stead.

• Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Dealing with severe ankle sprain

  Rotowire May 8, 2024

  Hernaiz, who was placed on the 10-day injured list earlier Wednesday, has been diagnosed with a severe left ankle sprain and will visit with a foot specialist, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. Hernaiz was injured during Tuesday's 15-8 loss to the Rangers when he stepped awkwardly on first base and was subsequently placed on the IL. More should be known about a potential timetable for the rookie infielder following his exam, but Hernaiz looks as though he could be sidelined for weeks, if not months. The 22-year-old has slashed .182/.243/.182 over 75 plate appearances with Oakland this season and had recently been serving as the team's everyday shortstop.

Hernaiz suffered the injury during Tuesday's 15-8 loss to the Rangers when he stepped awkwardly on first base while trying to beat out an infield hit. It's not clear at this point how long he might be sidelined. Max Schuemann and Brett Harris could handle shortstop for the Athletics while Hernaiz is out.

• Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Early exit with injury

  Rotowire May 7, 2024

  Hernaiz was lifted for a pinch runner and limped off the field after stepping awkwardly on first base Tuesday against Texas, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. Hernaiz's day will be done after he sustained a left ankle injury trying to beat out an infield hit in the second inning. While he managed to beat the throw, Hernaiz was replaced by Max Schuemann and won't return to Tuesday's contest. The A's have a doubleheader with the Rangers on Wednesday, followed by a day off before a three-game set against the Mariners that begins Friday.

• Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Back in big leagues

  Rotowire Apr 25, 2024

  The Athletics recalled Hernaiz from Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. He's taking the roster spot vacated by Zack Gelof (oblique). Hernaiz will be a candidate for reps at second base in Gelof's absence and he can handle shortstop and third base, as well. It's unclear how high he'll be in the pecking order, however, after he managed just a .103/.156/.103 batting line before being sent down.
