Adeiny Hechavarria homered and tallied seven RBI in the Marlins' 14-2 win over the Phillies on Sunday.
It was a career game for Hechavarria, who hit a bases-loaded triple off Roy Halladay in the first inning and a grand slam in the third. He's doubtful to be a major offensive threat all year, but the talented 24-year-old should hold decent value in NL-only fantasy leagues. May 5 - 5:50 PM

Marlins activated SS Adeiny Hechavarria from the 15-day disabled list.

Hechavarria is back in the Marlins' starting lineup on Thursday against the Phillies after missing just over two weeks with a severe elbow bruise. The young shortstop is batting just .184/.231/.286 this season.
May 2 - 3:51 PM

Adeiny Hechavarria (elbow) is expected to begin a rehab assignment Monday with High-A Jupiter.

If all goes well, the young shortstop will be back in the Marlins' starting lineup on Thursday (May 2) against the Phillies. Hechavarria has been on the 15-day disabled list since April 17 with a badly bruised elbow.
Apr 27 - 4:39 PM

Adeiny Hechavarria (elbow) is expected to be activated from the disabled list when first eligible on May 2.

Hechavarria, who is dealing with a bruised right elbow, played catch from about 70 feet Wednesday and then took grounders with the team on Thursday. He's expected to go out on a short rehab assignment before being activated.
Apr 26 - 11:57 AM

Marlins placed SS Adeiny Hechavarria on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to April 17, with a bruised elbow.

Hechavarria suffered the injury Wednesday during batting practice and is expected to be out for a little over two weeks. The Marlins can try Chris Valaika, Donovan Solano and Nick Green at shortstop in his absence. None of those three players will carry fantasy value.
Apr 18 - 12:50 PM

Adeiny Hechavarria (elbow) may not go with the Marlins on their road trip that begins on Thursday and ends next Tuesday.

Hechavarria injured his throwing elbow Wednesday while making a throw during batting practice. He will be evaluated on Thursday before the Marlins decide what to do with him, but it sounds like he might need a trip to the DL. Chris Valaika and Donovan Solano are options at shortstop for the Fish while Hechavarria is sidelined.
Apr 17 - 11:51 PM

Adeiny Hechavarria was scratched from the Marlins' starting lineup on Wednesday due to a sore right elbow.

It's not clear when or how Hechavarria got injured, or how severe the ailment is. Chris Valaika will start at shortstop and bat eighth Wednesday vs. the Nationals.
Apr 17 - 5:52 PM

Adeiny Hechavarria went 0-for-4 on Monday and is hitting .178 in 45 at-bats this season.

Hechavarria figured to be one of the league's weakest regulars for fantasy purposes, but with no RBI, no steals and just two runs scored to date, he's been an even bigger liability than expected. Still, the Marlins will almost certainly stick with him through his struggles
Apr 15 - 9:58 PM

Adeiny Hechavarria went 2-for-2 with a triple and two RBI in the Marlins' 6-1 defeat of the Yankees on Friday.

Hechavarria is pretty well locked in as the Marlins' shortstop, though we're not expecting him to be much of a fantasy property this year. He's 5-for-18 with five RBI and one steal this spring.
Mar 8 - 4:36 PM

Marlins acquired INF Adeiny Hechavarria from the Blue Jays in a 12-player trade.

Hechavarria, who turns 24 in April, batted .254/.280/.365 with two home runs, 15 RBI and a .645 OPS over 137 plate appearances in his first taste of the big leagues this year. He is lauded for his defense, but will likely never be much of a hitter. Still, the Marlins plan to use him as their regular shortstop in 2013.

According to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, the Marlins plan to start Adeiny Hechavarria at shortstop.

Yunel Escobar will either be flipped to another team or play third base. The Marlins' big 12-player swap with the Blue Jays is expected to be finalized within 24 hours.

Adeiny Hechavarria had a go-ahead RBI double in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Yankees.

The game was tied 2-2 until Hechavarria put the Blue Jays ahead in the sixth. The 23-year-old rookie has now hit safely in 10 straight games, though he has just one multi-hit game. He's considered the leading candidate to start at second base next year, but he won't have much value outside of AL-only fantasy leagues.

Mike Rutsey of the Toronto Sun writes that Adeiny Hechavarria is "the leading candidate" to be the Blue Jays' starting second baseman next season.

Evidently impending free agent Kelly Johnson isn't expected back. It's possible Hechavarria could wind up playing shortstop if the Jays wind up trading Yunel Escobar. The 23-year-old is terrific defensively, and he finally started to hit a little this year at Triple-A, batting .312/.363/.424 with six homers and eight steals. He's hit .259/.289/.370 with two dingers over 36 games for Toronto.

Adeiny Hechavarria ripped a two-run homer in Sunday's win over the Red Sox.

Hechavarria drove in Omar Vizquel after Vizquel got the scoring started in the seventh with an RBI single. The young shortstop was getting the start because Yunel Escobar is under the weather.
Sun, Sep 16, 2012 04:15:00 PM

Adeiny Hechavarria blasted a solo homer, the first of his major league career, in Tuesday’s loss to the Yankees.

Hechavarria finished the evening 1-for-3 with that memorable fifth inning blast off Phil Hughes. The 23-year-old rookie is hitting .213 (10-for-47) with a homer and five RBI while fanning 19 times to this point of the season. He's unlikely to contribute in fantasy leagues this year, but still looks to have a bright future.
