Red Sox sign Enrique Hernandez


The Boston Red Sox signed outfielder Enrique Hernandez to a one-year contract extension worth $10 million, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan.

Hernandez was scheduled to hit free agency this summer. Hip injuries this season have limited the 31-year-old to 67 games, during which he's slashed .222/.359/.646 with six home runs and 37 RBIs.

He joined the Red Sox prior to the 2021 campaign after six years with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Hernandez's debut season with Boston was the most productive of his career, as he racked up 4.9 WAR in the regular season before hitting five home runs during a postseason run to the ALCS.
