Darell Hernaiz Out Of His Walking Boot
5 months agoOakland Athletics rookie shortstop Darell Hernaiz (ankle) is out of his walking boot and will begin a strength and fitness program this week. The next step in Hernaiz's rehab process will be to resume baseball activity, which the A's will determine at a later date. The A's moved the 22-year-old infielder to the 60-day injured list on May 15. Hernaiz is listed on MLB Pipeline as Oakland's No. 4 prospect, but a severe left ankle sprain has kept him sidelined since May 7. He's mostly a candidate to keep stashed in dynasty/keeper leagues, as it remains to be seen how much playing time he'll see in Oakland when he's healthy enough to return. Hernaiz received his first major-league promotion earlier this year and went 12-for-66 (.182) with no home runs, six RBI and a stolen base in his first 29 big-league contests before injuring his ankle.
