Phillies signed RHP Roberto Hernandez to a one-year, $4.5 million contract. The 31-year-old could earn an additional $1.5 million via incentives. Hernandez, formerly known as Fausto Carmona, collected a 4.89 ERA and 113/38 K/BB ratio in 151 innings over 24 starts and eight relief appearances this past season with the Rays. He should keep Philly's infield defense busy with a ground ball rate north of 50 percent. Hernandez, who will occupy a back-end rotation slot, holds NL-only fantasy relevancy.

Tim Dierkes of MLB Trade Rumors reports that Roberto Hernandez's one-year deal with the Phillies is worth $4.5 million. Hernandez could make an additional $1.5 million with incentives. The 31-year-old posted a 4.89 ERA over 151 innings with the Rays this past season, but he had nearly three strikeouts for every walk and a ground ball rate north of 50 percent. He should do fine as a backend starter in Philly.

Jim Salisbury of CSNPhilly.com reports that the Phillies have reached an agreement with free agent right-hander Roberto Hernandez. Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro, Jr. said Thursday morning that he had a deal with a free agent starter and naturally it didn't take long for news to leak. No word yet on the terms involved. Hernandez, formerly known as Fausto Carmona, had a 4.89 ERA and 113/38 K/BB ratio in 151 innings over 24 starts and eight relief appearances this past season with the Rays. While he's not relevant in most mixed fantasy leagues, he should hold down a spot in Philadelphia's rotation in 2014.

FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports that the Cubs are among the teams showing interest in free agent right-hander Roberto Hernandez. Hernandez, 33, posted a 4.89 ERA and 113/38 K/BB ratio in 151 innings over 24 starts and eight relief appearances this past season with the Rays. He will likely only require a one-year deal.

Roberto Hernandez is likely to start for the Rays on Sunday against the Orioles. With Sunday's scheduled starter Jeremy Hellickson pressed into emergency action on Friday, the Rays need someone to toe the slab on Sunday. The artist formerly known as Fausto Carmona has registered a 4.89 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 113/37 K/BB ratio through 151 innings with the Rays this year.

Roberto Hernandez struck out seven batters in 3 2/3 perfect relief innings on Tuesday to earn his first save. That's right: Seven batters, five whiffs, no base runners. Your move, Mariano Rivera. Hernandez was recently -- and justifiably -- booted from the rotation, but his stuff could play up in the bullpen and provide Joe Maddon with another relief weapon in October.

Roberto Hernandez will not start Sunday. The Rays are going with right-hander Jamey Wright (and the bullpen) instead of Hernandez, who has a 6.33 ERA in 21 1/3 innings since the beginning of August. Tampa Bay can't afford to lose any more ground. It's not clear whether Hernandez has been booted from the rotation completely or if he'll get a turn early next week.

Roberto Hernandez will start on Tuesday against the Angels. Hernandez has struggled in the Rays rotation this season, posting a 4.97 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 99/30 K/BB ratio over his 137 2/3 innings. His reign of terror will soon come to an end once Matt Moore returns from the disabled list.

The Rays are considering pushing back or skipping Roberto Hernandez's next start. They can afford to do so with an off day Thursday. Hernandez has struggled in each of his last three outings, failing to notch a single quality start. His run in the rotation is about to come to an end, anyway, with Matt Moore (elbow) expected back before the end of the month.

Roberto Hernandez was lit up for five runs (four earned) in 5 2/3 innings Saturday against Toronto. That's now two straight troubling starts for the 32-year-old right-hander, who has a 5.00 ERA in 136 2/3 total innings this season. Tampa Bay needs good starting pitching to stay in the postseason hunt and may have to drop Hernandez if the struggles to continue.
