The Rangers released Hernandez on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez slashed .289/.386/.474 with two home runs in 88 plate appearances for Triple-A Round Rock this season, but after he wasn't promoted to the big club after the first month of the campaign, the Rangers granted him his release from his minor-league deal. The 29-year-old utility player will look to catch on elsewhere on a minor-league pact.

Hernandez was reassigned to minor-league camp Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez showed flashes of potential in March while with the big club, recording eight hits in 31 at-bats to go along with six RBI, four walks and five runs scored across 20 games. He played in 14 big-league contests a season ago for the Rangers and will likely be a candidate for a midseason promotion again in 2024.

Hernandez signed a minor-league contract with the Rangers on Wednesday that includes an invitation to spring training.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez got into 14 games with the Rangers in 2022 before spending all of 2023 at Triple-A Round Rock, collecting an .838 OPS with 18 home runs. The 29-year-old is capable of playing all three outfield spots as well as first base.

Hernandez was reassigned to the Rangers' minor-league camp Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez was never a likely bet to make Texas' Opening Day roster and should open the 2023 campaign at Triple-A Round Rock. He had an .880 OPS in 89 games with the affiliate last season, though he also made his MLB debut and went 6-for-33 with 15 strikeouts in 14 contests.

The Rangers outrighted Hernandez to Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez will stay in the Texas organization after he went unclaimed off waivers upon being designated for assignment Tuesday. The 27-year-old posted a .442 OPS in 35 plate appearances with the Rangers prior to being booted off the 40-man roster.

The Rangers designated Hernandez for assignment Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez is 0-for-14 in his last seven games and has a .442 OPS since joining the team in mid-July. It's hard to see the outfielder/designated hitter finding his way back on the Rangers' 40-man roster this season, even if he isn't claimed off waivers and sticks around in the organization.

Hernandez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

After making three consecutive starts over the weekend while going hitless in eight at-bats, Hernandez finds himself on the bench for the third game in a row. With Corey Seager getting more work at designated hitter of late while he works to move past a leg injury, Hernandez doesn't look like he'll have a clear path to playing time.
