Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez left Friday's game against the Los Angeles Angels with a foot injury. Hernandez fouled a ball off of his foot during the game and was removed with what the team is calling a left foot contusion. He went 0-for-1 with a strikeout before departing and was replaced in the outfield by Raimel Tapia. Look for the Blue Jays to update Hernandez's status sometime after Friday's game concludes.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (foot) is back in the starting lineup on Sunday against New York Yankees left-hander Nestor Cortes, serving as the designated hitter and batting cleanup. However, outfielder George Springer (knee) remains on the bench. Hernandez left the game early on Saturday after fouling a ball off his left foot, but he's back in there and should be back in starting fantasy lineups as well. The 29-year-old is hitting .265/.316/.487 with an .804 OPS, 18 homers, 58 RBI, 49 runs and six stolen bases on the season. Springer is missing his third straight game after going 5-for-5 on Thursday. However, he could return as soon as Monday. Jackie Bradley Jr. is in center field and hitting ninth against Cortes.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez left Saturday's game against the New York Yankees after fouling a ball off his left foot. Hernandez went for X-rays after the game and they came back negative, which is a good sign. He did say that he was still feeling some pain in his foot, so the Blue Jays will likely see how he feels tomorrow before making a lineup decision. The 29-year-old stud has looked like his usual self since his month-long slump back in May, and now has a solid fantasy line with a .265 AVG, 49 R, 58 RBI, 18 HR, and 6 SB over 356 AB. Fantasy managers in daily lineup leagues will want to be on alert tomorrow morning when the Blue Jays submit their lineup and get Hernandez back in if he plays.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez put on a show during Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. The 29-year-old outfielder blasted two home runs and knocked in four runs during the 8-2 victory. This marks his first multi-homer game of the season. Hernandez struggled to do anything with the bat earlier in the season. Now, Hernandez is hitting .316 with nine homers, 12 doubles and 28 RBI in 40 games since June 1. Fantasy managers should check the waiver wire in case Hernandez is somehow still available.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against right-hander Nick Pivetta and the Boston Red Sox. Raimel Tapia will be covering right field for the game. Hernandez's bat has come alive in a big way this month. He's slashing .314/.346/.569 with five home runs, 18 RBI and 16 runs across June and he's notched multi-hit efforts in two straight outings. Hernandez has been primarily hitting fifth in the lineup lately and should be back in or around that slot for Thursday's series opener against the Tampa Bay Rays.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez provided a home run and a steal in a 7-6 victory over the Baltimore Orioles Wednesday. Hernandez went 2-for-4 with the two-run shot. With just four home runs on the season, Hernandez's power output has been a major disappointment, but he's slashing .383/.431/.633 with 10 runs scored and 12 RBI in his last 15 games, so the summer months could bring plenty of offense for the slugger. The home runs seem bound to increase after he produced 32 last season, and fantasy managers should remain patient and/or buy low if they can.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against right-hander Brady Singer and the Kansas City Royals. Raimel Tapia will be covering right field for the game. Hernandez has been heating up at the plate lately. Over seven games in June, he's slashing .375/.444/.667 with one home run, one triple and three doubles. Injuries have held the 29-year-old to just 32 games so far this season. He has a season-long slash line of .223/.288/.372 to go along with three home runs, two stolen bases, 17 RBI and 13 runs.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez is not in the starting lineup against the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday night. Hernandez is just 6-for-60 with a homer, five RBI, two walks and 18 strikeouts in 15 games in the month of May to drop his season line to a very disappointing .152/.212/.253 with two home runs, eight RBI, five runs scored and one stolen base in 85 plate appearances. Fantasy managers may want to keep him benched until the 29-year-old can snap out of his season-long funk. Raimel Tapia is moving to right field and will bat sixth, while Cavan Biggio returns to the lineup at first base while hitting ninth against Angels right-hander Shohei Ohtani. Neither Tapia nor Biggio are particularly attractive to DFS gamers on Thursday night against Ohtani.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez has yet to settle in offensively this season and he's been especially cold at the plate in May. Over 15 games this month, he's slashing .100/.129/.167 with one home run, one double and 18 strikeouts to go along with just two walks. The Blue Jays have a stacked lineup, but many of the team's primary hitters have been struggling out of the gate alongside Hernandez. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has just two home runs this month and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. has been struggling to the point of losing playing time. We encourage patience with Hernandez, who has been a borderline elite fantasy producer over the last two years. His 91.9 mph average exit velocity is right where it was last year (91.8 mph). He just has a few other metrics that are lagging, like his 6.9 degree average launch angle and his 7.3% barrel rate.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez has been struggling at the plate since his activation from the injured list on May 7. Over nine games this month, he's slashing .111/.111/.194 with 13 strikeouts, no walks and only one extra-base hit, a home run. He's gone 0-for-12 across his last three games. The 29-year-old likely just needs some more time to settle in this year. He's only recorded two barrels across 36 batted ball events, but his 92.9 mph average exit velocity is encouraging as it's a slight increase from last year's average (91.8 mph).

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (oblique) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Saturday for the team's doubleheader against the Guardians. He had been dealing with a left oblique strain for the past three weeks. Hernandez played in one of the games Saturday, going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts, but went 1-for-4 with a single, two RBI, and two strikeouts in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Guardians. The 29-year-old was a solid fantasy contributor in power and speed in 2021, slashing .296/.346/.524 with 32 home runs, 116 RBI, and 12 stolen bases. He should continue to be a higher-end fantasy option this season if he can stay healthy.

Updating a previous report, Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (oblique) will not be activated from the injured list prior to Thursday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. He will be playing another rehab game at Single-A Dunedin on Thursday. The expectation is still that he will return to the team during its current series against the Guardians, but we'll have to wait at least another day for him to arrive. Blue Jays writer Arden Zwelling notes that Hernandez already has a locker set up for him in the visitor's clubhouse at Cleveland's Progressive Field.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (oblique) is expected to return from the injured list on Thursday. He has been sidelined since April 13, but appears ready to get back on the field. Hernandez will play another rehab game on Wednesday before hopefully rejoining the big league team on Thursday. Hernandez was hitting very well before being sidelined.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (oblique) went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double and a run scored in his first minor league rehab game with Single-A Dunedin on Tuesday. Hernandez played eight innings in right field. The 29-year-old has been out of action since April 13 with a left oblique strain, but he could return to the Jays lineup later this week if he can avoid setbacks on his rehab assignment. Toronto begins a series against the Cleveland Guardians on Thursday. Before his injury, Hernandez had six hits in his first 19 at-bats with a homer, three RBI and three runs scored in six games. He will return to everyday outfield duties for the Jays when he comes off the injured list.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (oblique) is headed to Single-A Dunedin, where he will take some live rehab at-bats. According to Blue Jays reporter Scott Mitchell, if all goes well for Hernandez at Dunedin, we could see the slugger back with the team during its four-game series against the Cleveland Guardians, which begins on Thursday. The 29-year-old has been sidelined since April 13 due to a left oblique strain. He's been partaking in various baseball activities over the past week, but live at-bats will be a key milestone in his recovery. Assuming he has no setbacks, it sounds like fantasy managers will have him back relatively soon.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (oblique) went through some drills in the field on Tuesday. He fielded a number of ground balls in the outfield, and according to Blue Jays columnist Mike Wilner, he made some "good throws on the run." Hernandez is working his way back from a left oblique strain. He is expected to take live batting practice soon and once he gets through that, we will have a more clear sense of when he's expected to return to the field.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (oblique) is expected to partake in live batting practice at some point in the next few days, according to Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins. If he's able to get through the live batting practice without any issues, his return to the team should follow shortly after. This is encouraging news for the 29-year-old, who has been out since April 13 due to a left oblique strain. This update is the closest thing we've received to a timeline for him since the injury first occurred. Fantasy managers should continue to keep their eye out for updates, but it sounds as if Hernandez could be back on the field within a week or so.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (oblique) began a hitting progression on Friday. Hernandez has been on the injured list since April 14 after straining his left oblique muscle. The outfielder remains without a timetable as his return will depend on how he feels as he ramps up his activity. Toronto will obviously want to take it slow with Hernandez as obliques are notorious for reinjury. Hernandez is hitting .316 with one homer, three runs, and three RBI across 19 at-bats in 2022.

The Toronto Blue Jays have placed outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (oblique) on the 10-day injured list with a left oblique strain. The team called up second baseman Gosuke Katoh from Triple-A in a corresponding move. Katoh will be available for Thursday's game against the New York Yankees. Hernandez departed Wednesday's game with what was initially described as discomfort in his left side. He wound up getting an MRI on Thursday that confirmed the oblique strain. It's unclear how long Hernandez will be out at this point, but fantasy managers will be without him for at least the next week and a half. Raimel Tapia stands to benefit most from Hernandez being out. Tapia is batting fifth and playing right field in Thursday's game.

The early indications are that Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (oblique) will be placed on the injured list with what is suspected to be a left oblique injury. Further details on the severity of the injury will be known when the team gets to the Bronx on Thursday afternoon. Hernandez landed on the injured list with a similar injury in the shortened 2020 season. The 29-year-old left the game early on Wednesday, and an MRI exam will likely confirm an oblique strain. Fantasy managers should expect him to be out longer than the required 10 days, and oblique strains can often linger for a hitter with an aggressive swing like Hernandez. The right-handed hitter was off to a good start, too, going 6-for-19 with a home run and three RBI in his first six games.
