The Rays reassigned Hernandez to minor-league camp Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez is likely to begin the season at Triple-A Durham after falling short in his bid for a spot in Tampa Bay's Opening Day bullpen. The hard-throwing right-hander previously recorded four saves while filling a high-leverage relief role for Texas during the 2022 season, but control problems kept him from having much success in the majors over the subsequent two seasons.

The Rays signed Hernandez to a minor-league contract Thursday that includes an invitation to spring training, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez, 28, posted a 5.40 ERA and 39:28 K:BB over 43.1 innings between the Rangers and Mariners last season. He will compete for a bullpen job this spring but is likely ticketed for Triple-A Durham.

The Mariners outrighted Hernandez to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez will report to the Mariners' Triple-A affiliate after he cleared waivers upon being designated for assignment Thursday. The right-hander has produced a 5.40 ERA and 1.59 WHIP with 39 strikeouts over 43.1 innings across 29 appearances at the big-league level between the Rangers and Mariners this season.

Hernandez was designated for assignment by the Mariners on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez appeared in three games with the Mariners after being claimed off waivers and added to the major-league roster Aug. 3, giving up three runs on two hits and two walks while striking out three batters over 2.1 innings. He will now once again be placed on waivers and if he goes unclaimed, he'll either report to Triple-A Tacoma or be released outright. Eduard Bazardo was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move, replacing Hernandez in the major-league bullpen.

Hernandez was added to the Mariners' major-league roster Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez was claimed off waivers by Seattle on Friday after he was designated for assignment by the Rangers earlier in the week. He will now join Seattle's bullpen ahead of the second game of their series at home against the Phillies. Hernandez has produced a 5.05 ERA and 1.59 WHIP with 36 strikeouts over 41 innings in 26 appearances, including a start, with the Rangers this season.

The Mariners claimed Hernandez from waivers Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez was designated for assignment by the Rangers on Tuesday after Texas acquired southpaw Andrew Chafin in a trade with Detroit. Across 26 major-league outings this season, Hernandez has a 5.05 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 36:26 K:BB across 41 innings. The 28-year-old right-hander will likely begin his tenure with his new organization with Triple-A Tacoma, but he could make his way back to the majors if the Mariners require his arm out of the bullpen.

The Rangers designated Hernandez for assignment Tuesday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

With the Rangers acquiring Andrew Chafin in a trade with the Tigers on Tuesday, Hernandez will lose his spot on the roster in order to create space. The 28-year-old righty owns a 5.05 ERA and 1.59 WHIP through 41 innings on the year.

The Rangers activated Hernandez (lat) from the 15-day injured list Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez got a late start to the season due to a right lat strain but is ready to roll now after allowing just three runs with a 14:4 K:BB over 10 rehab innings with Triple-A Round Rock. The righty could eventually work his way into high-leverage situations but will probably be used earlier in games initially.

Hernandez (lat) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez struck out one over a scoreless inning in his first appearance with Round Rock. The plan is for him to make a handful of rehab appearances, including working on back-to-back day, before he rejoins the Rangers' bullpen.

The Rangers placed Hernandez (lat) on the 15-day injured list Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The right lat strain that Hernandez suffered late in the 2023 regular season delayed his start to spring training, as he logged just 3.1 innings in Cactus League play before camp came to an end. According to MLB.com, general manager Chris Young said that the Rangers want to see Hernandez pitch multiple innings in a rehab game and work on back-to-back days before bringing him back from the IL. He'll be eligible for activation beginning April 9.
