Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez slugged his 30th home run of the season on Thursday as his club fell to the Twins 7-2. He took Michael Pineda deep to left field on the first pitch of the fourth inning for a solo shot as he also doubled and scored another run, finishing the day going 2-for-4. Hernandez is having one of the better second halves in all the majors to now give him 88 runs, 110 RBI, 11 SB, and a .303 BA through 134 games on the campaign. Managers can continue to trust the right-handed slugger the rest of the way as we close in on season's end.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez smacked a three-run homer to propel his club past the Twins 6-2 in Saturday's afternoon contest. His towering shot in the fourth inning put the Jays ahead 4-2 at the time, and they never looked back as he finished the day going 1-for-4. The three-RBI game now gives him 58 so far in the second half to push himself into the team-lead as well as third in the majors with 106. Hernandez pairs his superb RBI total with 28 HR, 84 runs, 11 SB, and a .304 BA to prove any doubters that his 2020 breakout half-campaign was no fluke.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez had a terrific day at the plate on Monday, going 5-for-5 in the club's 8-1 win over the Rays. He swatted one double and four singles in the contest, while scoring a pair of runs in the process. The 28-year-old is now hitting .324 so far in the second half to push his season-long number to .307 with 27 HR, 83 runs, 102 RBI, and 11 SB for good measure. Hernandez's five-category production is undoubtedly living up to his draft-day value, and managers should expect him to keep producing commendable numbers the rest of the way.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez launched his 24th home run and 92nd RBI of the season on Saturday to help his team defeat the Athletics 10-8. His three-run shot off Jake Diekman in the seventh gave his club some much needed insurance at the time for his only hit of the ball game as he finished the afternoon going 1-for-3 with a walk. Hernandez has been hot since the break by wrapping up August with six homers, 23 RBI, and a .301 BA and he's picking up where he left off so far in September going 3-for-9 with two homers in three games. The 28-year-old should remain a strong fantasy asset the rest of the way batting in the middle of the Jays potent lineup.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez isn't in Saturday's lineup to face the Detroit Tigers and right-handed starter Jose Urena. Hernandez has provided both the Blue Jays and fantasy managers with some quality production at the plate this season, batting .301 with a .344 on-base percentage, 22 home runs, and nine stolen bases in 448 plate appearances. Corey Dickerson is starting in right field in Hernandez's place and batting fifth. The veteran is batting .263 with a .318 on-base percentage, five home runs, and three stolen bases in 289 plate appearances this season. Fantasy managers are probably better off looking elsewhere for streaming help.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez was scorching hot for a 10-game stretch earlier this month. From August 8 to August 18, he compiled eight multi-hit games and hit five home runs. However, he's struggled since then. Over his last five games, he's gone just 1-for-19 with one walk and six strikeouts. Fantasy managers shouldn't be concerned about the brief cold stretch. Hernandez is in the midst of a career-best season. Over 105 games on the year, he's slashing .305/.347/.521 with 22 home runs, nine stolen bases, 84 RBI and 62 runs. He has a career-best 24.8% strikeout rate on the year, down from 30.4% last year. He ranks in the 92nd percentile in xSLG (.531) and in the 91st percentile in xBA (.284).

His fifth inning blast off Erick Fedde cashed in two runs for his 21st long ball of the season as he finished the night going 2-for-4 with two runs and a walk. Hernandez is now hitting .360 so far in the second half with 10 homers in 31 games to push his batting average on the season to .316 with 60 runs and 83 RBI. Managers can continue to count on the 28-year-old for stellar production the rest of the way with his full-time job as the cleanup hitter secured.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez kept his hot second half going on Saturday by going 3-for-4 in the club's 9-3 loss to the Mariners. The 2021 All-Star clobbered a home run in the second, and RBI single in the third, and a double in the fifth to finish a triple from the cycle. Hernandez has found a groove in the second half with a .340 BA, eight homers, and an AL-leading 32 RBI in 29 games acting as an integral cog in the middle of the Jays lineup. His .309 BA and 80 RBI on the year are both top-10 numbers in the majors while he's also showing his power and speed with 19 HR and seven thefts.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez kept his strong second half going on Tuesday by slugging his first career grand slam in the team's 7-2 win over the Angels. The 413' foot shot to left field blew the game wide open for his 18th bomb and 77th RBI of the season as he finished the game going 2-for-5. Hernandez is leading the AL in RBI with 29 so far in the second half to go along with seven homers, 19 runs, and a .330 BA in 26 games after receiving his first ever All-Star selection. Managers should continue to expect stellar numbers the rest of the way as he looks more dangerous than ever locked into the middle of the Jays batting order.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez had a pair of strong games in the team's doubleheader against the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday. In total, he went 4-for-7 with two RBI and two runs scored. Hernandez has been fantastic so far in August. Over 10 games this month, he's slashing .405/.436/.514 with one home run, 10 RBI and seven runs. He has a 115.7 mph max exit velocity on the year, which ranks in the 97th percentile. He also ranks in the 90th percentile in both xBA (.284) and xSLG (.520).

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez had a terrific day at the plate on Tuesday, going 3-for-3 as his club went on to defeat the Indians 7-2. The 28-year-old homered in his first at-bat and also chipped in with a pair of singles and a hit-by-pitch, finishing the game with two runs and three RBI. Hernandez has found his power stroke recently with six homers and 14 RBI in 17 games since the All-Star break. He's now up to 17 HR on the year with 48 runs, 66 RBI, seven steals, and a .294 BA with no signs of slowing down, so managers should continue to expect a productive second half.

NEW YORK (AP) — Joey Votto homered for the seventh straight game, one shy of a major league record, and the Cincinnati Reds beat the New York Mets 6-2 on Friday night. Jonathan India went deep twice for the Reds, including a leadoff shot that came on Carlos Carrasco’s first pitch with the Mets. Acquired from Cleveland in January, the veteran right-hander finally made his New York debut after recovering from a hamstring injury. It was an up-and-down day for the Mets, who made a big deal to get Javier Báez from the Chicago Cubs before baseball’s trade deadline — and then revealed injured ace Jacob deGrom will be shut down for two more weeks because of inflammation in his pitching elbow, making it unlikely he’ll rejoin the NL East leaders before September. Báez was acquired from the Cubs along with right-hander Trevor Williams for outfield prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong, the Mets’ first-round pick in the 2020 amateur draft. Báez is expected to join the Mets on Saturday and will play shortstop... [More]

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez had a terrific night at the dish on Thursday, going. 3-for-5 as his team went on to steamroll past the Red Sox 13-1. The right-handed swinger got the scoring started for his club in the first inning with a bases-loaded double to right field to cash a pair before adding an RBI single later in the contest. Hernandez continues to hit a high clip this season (.295 BA) with 15 HR, 62 RBI, 44 runs, and seven thefts in 80 games as an integral part of the middle of the order. Managers can expect more of the same from Hernandez moving forward as the Jays prepare to head home to Toronto for the first time since September 2019.
