Hernandez was promoted to Triple-A Pawtucket on Saturday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez has thrown 5.1 innings at the major-league level but has never actually pitched in Triple-A. The 22-year-old owns an unimpressive 5.13 ERA for Double-A Portland in 40.1 innings. His poor 17.0 percent walk rate has so far outweighed his strong 31.4 percent strikeout rate.

The Red Sox optioned Hernandez to Double-A Portland on Wednesday, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez made his first MLB start Tuesday in the Red Sox's 9-5 loss to the Rangers, but didn't perform well enough to earn a follow-up nod in Baltimore this weekend. While he showed some impressive swing-and-miss stuff en route to racking up seven strikeouts, he lasted only three innings while yielding four runs (three earned) on three hits and five walks. Hernandez will continue to work out of the rotation at Portland and could get another look with Boston if he can show improved control in the minors.

Hernandez (0-1) allowed four runs (three earned) on three hits and five walks while striking out seven across three innings to take the loss Tuesday against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez struck out the side in the first inning, but quickly ran intro trouble from there. He surrendered walks to consecutive batters in the second inning, both of which came around to score. In the following frame, he allowed three walks, two of which ultimately crossed the plate. This start matched his profile from the minor leagues, as he had managed a 31 percent strikeout rate but suffered from a 17 percent walk rate in 40.1 innings with Double-A Portland. The Red Sox continue to search for a viable fifth starter in the absence of Nathan Eovaldi (elbow), and if they stick with Hernandez he'll likely draw his next start Sunday at Baltimore.

Hernandez was recalled from Double-A Portland ahead of his scheduled start against the Rangers on Tuesday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez's only big-league appearance to date came in long relief back in late April. The 22-year-old owns a poor 5.13 ERA in 40.1 innings for Portland this season, striking out an impressive 31.4 percent of opposing batters but walking far too many (17.0 percent). Ryan Brasier was placed on the bereavement list.

Hernandez will start Tuesday's game against the Rangers, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez will stand in as the fifth starter for Boston after he was scratched from his scheduled outing at Double-A Portland over the weekend. He's made one appearance in the big leagues this season, tossing 2.1 scoreless innings while striking out four April 23 against the Tigers. The Red Sox will officially recall Hernandez closer to first pitch.

Hernandez is viewed as a candidate to start Tuesday's game against the Rangers in Boston, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez was scratched from his scheduled turn this weekend at Double-A Portland for no apparent injury-related reason, suggesting the Red Sox are looking to promote him when a fifth starter is next needed Tuesday. The young lefty turned in a promising MLB debut in long relief back on April 23, but he's largely struggled this season with Portland, posting a 5.13 ERA and 1.62 WHIP in 40.1 innings. He'll thus make for a risky streaming option if he gets the nod Tuesday, and there's a good possibility the Red Sox put a cap on his workload even if he performs well the first time through the order.

Hernandez was optioned to Double-A Portland on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez was up for just one day and did not get into a game. He'll head back to the minors to make way for the return of Brock Holt (shoulder) from the injured list.

The Red Sox recalled Hernandez from Double-A Portland on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The Red Sox don't have a spot available in the rotation for Hernandez, one of the organization's top pitching prospects. As a result, he'll likely be in store for only a brief stay with the big club, with the Red Sox potentially leaning on him to cover multiple innings in relief Sunday against Houston to aid a taxed bullpen. Hernandez could be headed back to Portland as soon as Monday, when the Red Sox will need to open up a spot on the active roster to facilitate utility man Brock Holt's (shoulder) return from the injured list.

Hernandez was optioned to Double-A Portland following Wednesday's doubleheader with the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez made his MLB debut in the second game of the twin bill and provided the Red Sox with a much-needed fresh arm out of the bullpen. He covered 2.1 scoreless innings in relief, scattering four hits and a walk while striking out four. The lefty will now head back to the minors to continue his development as a starter but could get a look in the big-league rotation at some point if Hector Velazquez proves to be an unsatisfactory replacement for the injured Nathan Eovaldi (elbow).

Hernandez was officially called up from Double-A Portland as the 26th man for Tuesday's nightcap against the Tigers, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez could one day be a fixture in the Red Sox's rotation, but that won't start just yet. If he does end up making his big-league debut Tuesday, it will come in a relief role.
