Hechavarria knocked a solo home run during a 2-for-4 effort in Thursday's loss to the Cardinals.

The shortstop's fourth long ball of the season was good for the Marlins only run. Hechavarria, typically viewed as a glove-first shortstop, is making some stride at the plate this season, posting a steady .288/.325/.401 slash line over 71 games this season. Hechavarria's strikeout and walk rates as well as his batting average on balls in play are largely in line with his performance from 2014 so its reasonable to expect that he can keep up this new level of production. Given the current state of affairs at the shortstop position, Hechavarria has transformed into a reasonable option at the back end of your fantasy roster.

Hechavarria went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Monday's win over the Yankees.

The shortstop continues to enjoy a breakout season at the dish, pushing his slash line to a robust .300/.329/.405 with 31 runs scored and 26 RBI through 62 games. He's surely benefitting from a career-high .348 BABIP so far this season, but Hechavarria is also working a career-best .105 ISO, showing that he is making some strides at the dish.

Hechavarria went 3-for-5 with a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's win over the Rockies.

Hechavarria manned the leadoff spot and provided a good Dee Gordon impersonation while the latter rested for just the fourth time this season. With a .310 average on the season, Hechavarria ranks a surprising second among all qualifying shortstops in the category, but he's probably reached his ceiling as a fantasy asset this season. The average is propped up by a .358 BABIP that is 50 points higher than his career norm, and his walk rate is sitting at just 4.0 percent, which will make getting on base consistently a difficult proposition once his more of his batted balls start turning into outs.

Hechavarria finished 1-for-4 with the game-winning solo home run in the 10th inning against the Rockies Sunday.

The 26-year-old missed three games last week with a shoulder problem but has hit safely and driven in a run in five straight games since returning, also scoring five runs during that time. Hechavarria has been a pleasant surprise for Miami this season as the starting shortstop and is now hitting .308 with three home runs, 30 runs scored and 25 RBI.

Hechavarria went 1-for-3 with a RBI double in Tuesday's win against the Cubs.

This was his first game back after missing three games with a shoulder injury. He should be considered healthy moving forward.

Hechavarria suffered a shoulder injury in a collision with teammate Christian Yelich on Friday and was forced to miss three starts as a result. Now healthy, Hechavarria will look to recapture some of the magic he had in April when he put up an .830 OPS, nearly 200 points higher than the mark he posted May.

Miami Marlins shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria is not in the lineup for his third consecutive game Monday against the Chicago Cubs because of a shoulder injury, according to the MLB.com. Hechavarria suffered the injury in the ninth inning of Friday's win over the New York Mets when his shoulder collided with the knee of outfielder Christian Yellich when both were attempting to catch a fly ball. Marlins manager Dan Jennings said he is confident that Donavon Solano can fill-in adequately at shortstop until the Hechavarria is ready to return. "He has a bruise, a pretty ugly collision," Jennings told the Miami Sun Sentinel. "Not many guys can do what he does defensively anywhere in the league. He's a tough guy to fill but we're confident and glad Donovan's in there to do it, and he's done it before." Hechavarria was reportedly feeling better Sunday.

Hechavarria (shoulder) is available Sunday, MLB.com's Joe Frisaro reports.

Hechavarria was held out of the lineup Sunday for the second straight game, but is apparently feeling a lot better since Friday's collision. Even if he doesn't get in the game Sunday, this news bodes well for his chances of playing Monday against the Cubs.

Hechavarria (shoulder) is not in the lineup Sunday against the Mets.

Hechavarria was fully expected to miss both Saturday and Sunday's games following Friday's collision with Christian Yelich. Consider him day-to-day leading up to Monday's series opener against the Cubs.

Hechavarria (shoulder) expects to miss at least a couple games after colliding with Christian Yelich in Friday's game, MLB.com's Joe Frisaro reports.

He officially has a left shoulder bruise and will be checked out by a doctor Saturday. This rules him out Saturday and Sunday and he should be considered questionable for Monday's game against the Cubs. Donovan Solano is getting the start at shortstop Saturday.

Hechavarria is out of the lineup Saturday after hurting his left shoulder in a collision with Christian Yelich in Friday's game, the Miami Herald's Clark Spencer reports.

It is not clear how serious the issue is, but for now Hechavarria should be considered day-to-day. Donovan Solano will get the start at shortstop and hit eighth Saturday.

Hechavarria scored the only run of Saturday's 1-0 win in 13 innings against Baltimore, going 1-for-3 with two walks.

Hechavarria has been a major surprise for the Marlins this season, hitting a surprising .307 out of the eight-hole. While his fantasy value has a low ceiling due to his lack of power and lineup spot, he's been providing fantasy-relevant contributions in batting average, RBI and runs. However, with a luck-boosted .356 BABIP on the year, he may have a hard time maintaining the pace.

Hechavarria went 2-for-4 with an RBI double in the 6-2 win against the Giants Saturday.

Hechavarria was only known as a glove prior to this season, but has impressed this season and opened eyes of fantasy owners. Hechavarria now sports a .319 average and has become a valid option in fantasy terms.

Hechavarria will slot in second in the lineup Sunday against the Phillies, MLB.com reports.

The Marlins aren't starting top-of-the-order hitters Dee Gordon nor Martin Prado on Sunday, so Hechavarria's jump in the lineup may only be a temporary move by manager Mike Redmond. That being said, Hechavarria has certainly warranted an appointment upward in the lineup, as he's batting an impressive .326 while surprisingly ranking among the league leaders in RBI with 16. He might be worth a look in shallower formats if he's available on the wire.

Hechavarria extended his hitting streak to nine games in a big way Sunday, clubbing a bases-loaded triple as the Marlins topped the Nationals.

The typically light-hitting shortstop posted his fourth multi-hit game in his last five outings during which time he's scored seven runs and driven home nine RBI. Hechavarria's offensive outburst has helped the Marlins churn out five straight wins as he's pushed his slash to .333/.355/.500 over 19 games played. It is impossible to expect this type of production to continue for any extended period of time, but it is hard to ignore this type of hot streak.

Hechavarria went 4-for-4 -- all singles -- drew a walk, drove in three runs and scored twice Thursday in Philadelphia.

A huge game for the Cuban shortstop, and it stretches his hitting streak to six games, during which he's gone 11-for-24 (.458) to raise his average from .216 to .311. Unfortunately, with Hechavarria's lack of power and marginal speed contributions, he'll need to really pile up the hits to hold much fantasy value, and there's never been any indication he's capable of sustaining anything vaguely resembling this pace.
