Hernandez settling back in: After an inconsistent start to the season, David Hernandez (0-1) has righted himself during the month of May. Hernandez registered his seventh scoreless outing Sunday at Kansas City in eight appearances this month to slice his ERA to 1.35 in May. Overall, he has yielded just two earned runs since April 16, but both of those runs came in blown save situations for the Diamondbacks. (Updated 05/21/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Hernandez enured an early stumble and has returned to his standing as one of the top setup men in the National League. The 27-year-old collected his seventh hold Sunday after striking out the side to complete his inning of work -- the third time he has accomplished that feat in 20 games this season. Fantasy owners should continue to view Hernandez as a quality relief option for his holds and strikeouts totals. (Updated 05/21/2012).

05/17/2012 19:58 D-Backs win on Upton's blast in ninth
Justin Upton hit a two-out, two-run homer off closer Rafael Betancourt in the ninth inning to help the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Colorado Rockies 9-7 on Thursday in a game that was briefly delayed by a swarm of bees.
After bouncing back and forth between the rotation and bullpen in his first two years in the majors, David Hernandez finally found the role he was suited for in 2011. After being dealt to the Diamondbacks in the offseason, he served as setup man to J.J. Putz and put together the finest campaign of his career. He posted a 3.65 ERA over his first 39 appearances before serving as part-time closer while Putz was on the shelf. The right-hander would return to his role after Putz came back and finished the year 5-3 with a 3.38 ERA in 74 appearances, including going 11 for 14 in save chances. He also struck out 77 in 69 1/3 innings while walking just 30. Hernandez will have the same role in 2012 but thanks to his solid numbers from a year ago, he is worth taking in NL-only formats on Draft Day. Keep in mind that he might also be more valuable if he has to fill in for the aging Putz again. (Updated 2/9/12)
