Out with a strained hip flexor, Hermida played his second consecutive game Tuesday in extended spring training, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. Florida's rookie outfielder, who has been sidelined nearly six weeks, could return to the Marlins Friday for the start of the interleague series with Tampa Bay. Hermida is 4-for-17 with four runs scored in five games this season. (Updated 5/17/2006)
