Hernandez cleared waivers and accepted his outright assignment to Triple-A Columbus on Friday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Guardians designated Hernandez for assignment Wednesday, and he'll stick around in the team's farm system after clearing waivers. The 28-year-old has been DFA'd three times this season and has a 6.23 ERA in 43.1 big-league innings combined during his stints with the Guardians, Tigers and Phillies in 2025.

The Guardians designated Hernandez for assignment Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The transaction frees up spots on the active and 40-man rosters for Parker Messick, who's been summoned from Triple-A Columbus to start Wednesday's game in Arizona. Hernandez has allowed three runs with a 3:3 K:BB over seven innings since arriving in Cleveland via waiver claim and will now go through the waivers process again.

The Guardians recalled Hernandez from Triple-A Columbus on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez owns a 6.69 ERA and 1.79 WHIP this year through 36.1 innings between the Tigers and Phillies. After being claimed by the Guardians on Thursday, the 28-year-old will replace Tim Herrin in Cleveland's bullpen and will most likely be limited to low-leverage situations.

The Guardians claimed Hernandez off waivers from the Tigers on Thursday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez was pushed off the Tigers' 40-man roster last Thursday after surrendering 13 runs (12 earned) in just 10.2 innings. He'll now reclaim a roster spot upon moving to the Guardians organization, though he'll likely have to redeem himself in Triple-A before he gets another shot in the bigs.

The Tigers designated Hernandez for assignment Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez was a waiver claim of the Tigers in June and is now headed back to waivers after he coughed up 13 runs (12 earned) over 10.2 frames for Detroit. The righty has been unable to translate his plus velocity into consistent results at the major-league level, with his career 11.1 percent walk rate being a big reason for that.

The Tigers claimed Hernandez off waivers from the Phillies on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez had been designated for assignment after logging a 5.26 ERA, 1.75 WHIP and 23:13 K:BB in 25.2 innings for the Phillies. The hard-throwing right-hander does not have minor-league options remaining, so he will join the Tigers' active roster. Detroit will announce a corresponding transaction prior to Tuesday's game against the Pirates.

The Phillies designated Hernandez for assignment Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez doesn't have any minor-league options remaining, so the Phillies had to remove him from their 40-man roster to clear a spot for right-hander Michael Mercado, who was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move. After being claimed off waivers from the Royals in the spring, Hernandez had operated as a low-leverage reliever for Philadelphia this season, logging a 5.26 ERA, 1.75 WHIP and 23:13 K:BB in 25.2 innings. Any team willing to trade for or put in a waiver claim for the right-hander will have to assume the money remaining on his $1.16 million contract for 2025.

Hernandez threw a clean ninth inning in Tuesday's 8-3 victory over the Blue Jays. He struck out one.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez bounced back after giving up one run in his last appearance, and it was his first spotless outing since May 19. The 28-year-old right-hander has one hold and zero saves in 2025, and his 5.87 ERA, 1.83 WHIP and 21:13 K:BB through 23 innings are unlikely to get him into the Phillies' high-leverage mix in the future.

The Phillies claimed Hernandez off waivers from the Royals on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander was put on outright waivers after missing out on Kansas City's Opening Day bullpen Saturday, and it didn't take long for him to be scooped up by another team. Hernandez had a 3.30 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 27:16 K:BB over 30 innings during the regular season last year, but he struggled in spring training with eight runs allowed and an 8:5 K:BB over 10.1 innings.

Hernandez will not make the Kansas City bullpen and is set to be put on outright waivers, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

He's out of minor league options so he's likely to be claimed by another team. While he had a 6.97 ERA this spring with a 8:5 K:BB ratio in 10.1 innings, another team may take a chance on his near 100-mph fastball.
