Darell Giovan Hernáiz (born August 3, 2001) is a Puerto Rican professional baseball infielder for the Oakland Athletics of Major League Baseball. He made his MLB debut in 2024.

Career

Baltimore Orioles

Hernáiz attended Americas High School in El Paso, Texas.[1] He was drafted by the Baltimore Orioles in the fifth round of the 2019 Major League Baseball Draft.[2] He made his professional debut that year with the Gulf Coast Orioles.

Hernáiz did not play for a team in 2020 due to the Minor League Baseball season being cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[3][4] He returned in 2021 to play for the Delmarva Shorebirds. He started the 2022 season with Delmarva before being promoted to the Aberdeen IronBirds.[5][6]

Oakland Athletics

The Orioles traded Hernáiz to the Oakland Athletics on January 26, 2023, for pitchers Kyle Virbitsky and Cole Irvin.[7] He split the season between the Double–A Midland RockHounds and Triple–A Las Vegas Aviators, playing in 131 games and hitting .321/.386/.456 with nine home runs, 71 RBI, and 13 stolen bases. On November 14, 2023, the Athletics added Hernáiz to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.[8]

On March 26, 2024, manager Mark Kotsay announced that Hernáiz had made the team's Opening Day roster.[9] He made his MLB debut on Opening Day, March 28. After going 3-29 (.103 batting average) to start the season, Hernáiz was optioned back to Triple-A Las Vegas on April 18. He was recalled a week later after fellow infielder Zack Gelof was added to the injury list.[10]
