Hernandez was released by the Orioles on Thursday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hernandez never pitched for the O's after being acquired from the Red Sox in January. He did post a 2.96 ERA with 37 strikeouts over 27.1 frames at Triple-A Norfolk, although that came with his usual control problems with 19 walks. Some team will take another shot on his big left-handed arm, but it surely would be on a minor-league deal.

Hernandez was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Orioles on Monday, Dan Connolly of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hernandez made just two Grapefruit League appearances, allowing four runs and walking three over 1.1 innings. He'll head to Triple-A Norfolk and attempt to win a spot back on the 40-man roster.

Hernandez cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Norfolk by the Orioles on Thursday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hernandez had been acquired from the Red Sox last month but lost his spot on the 40-man roster when the O's traded for Cole Irvin last week. Hernandez will still be in major-league camp this spring as a non-roster invitee. He has a robust 32.3 percent strikeout rate in his major-league career but has been held back by a 17.7 percent walk rate.

Hernandez was designated for assignment by the Orioles on Thursday, MASN's Roch Kubatko reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cole Irvin, just acquired from the Athletics, will take over the 40-man roster spot that Hernandez once occupied. Hernandez flashed impressive stuff in the early part of his tenure with the Red Sox, but they shipped him off to the O's earlier this month in exchange for cash, and now he's back in DFA limbo.

The Orioles acquired Hernandez from the Red Sox on Wednesday in exchange for cash considerations.
EDGE Analysis
Baltimore designated first baseman Lewin Diaz for assignment to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for Hernandez, a 26-year-old lefty reliever. With a 32.3 percent strikeout rate over his 91 career MLB appearances, Hernandez's upside is easy to recognize, but an inability to keep free passes in check prevented him from claiming a notable role in Boston's bullpen over the last few years. Hernandez's 17.7 percent walk rate is the worst mark among all pitchers in the majors with at least 80 inning pitched since the start of the 2019 season.

Hernandez was designated for assignment by Boston on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
After the Red Sox made the signing of Justin Turner official Friday, Hernandez needed to be booted off the 40-man to make room on the roster. After a solid 2021 campaign, Hernandez struggled to get things going in 2022, recording a 5.73 ERA and 1.48 WHIP through 33 Triple-A innings. The majors were even more unkind to Hernandez last year, as he allowed 16 earned runs over just 6.2 frames. Until he can show signs of improvement, he will most likely remain in the minors.

The Red Sox recalled Hernandez from Triple-A Worcester on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Boston optioned right-hander Josh Winckowski to the minors following Sunday's loss to Toronto to open up room on the 28-man active roster and in the bullpen for Hernandez. The southpaw struggled mightily across multiple stints in the majors earlier this season, covering 6.2 innings in total over his seven appearances while allowing 16 earned runs on 14 hits and eight walks.

Hernandez was optioned to Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old was promoted by the Red Sox last week and surrendered 11 runs with a 3:6 K:BB across three frames in three appearances. Hernandez will now return to Worcester, where he has a 4.68 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 41:18 K:BB over 25 innings this season.

The Red Sox recalled Hernandez from Triple-A Worcester on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
He provides Boston with a fresh arm out of the bullpen after starter Rich Hill covered only three innings in Wednesday's 6-1 loss in Houston, leaving four relievers to cover the remaining five frames. Two of those relievers -- Brayan Bello (groin) and Kaleb Ort -- were placed on the 15-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A, respectively -- to clear room on the active roster for Hernandez, who is likely to serve as a low-leverage arm.

Hernandez was optioned to Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hernandez was recalled from Triple-A and saw his first big-league action of the season over the past couple weeks, and he allowed five earned runs with a 6:2 K:BB across four outings. The 25-year-old will now return to Worcesther, where he has a 5.09 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 36:18 K:BB over 23 innings.
