Hernandez was sent to the team's minor-league camp Monday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hernandez always faced long odds of making the big-league roster as a depth infielder. He last appeared in the major leagues with the Red Sox in 2019, hitting .250/.279/.338 across 155 plate appearances.

Hernandez (visa issues) arrived at spring training and appeared in the White Sox's 7-2 loss to the Brewers in Sunday's Cactus League opener.
EDGE Analysis
He entered Sunday's contest as a pinch runner, finishing the day 0-for-1 while also seeing work in the field at second base. Hernandez is attending spring training as a non-roster invitee and looks unlikely to win a reserve infield role with the White Sox.

White Sox general manager Rick Hahn said Wednesday that Hernandez's arrival at spring camp would be delayed while he deals with visa issues, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hernandez's late start to spring training will only further diminish his long odds of winning a bench role with the White Sox heading into Opening Day. The 28-year-old infielder is attending camp as a non-roster invitee.

Hernandez joined the White Sox on a minor-league contract Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The deal includes an invitation to major-league camp. Hernandez has appeared in 122 games at the highest level, all with the Red Sox, but he hasn't made much of an impression, hitting .265/.300/.342. He failed to make the team's 40-man roster at any point last season.

The Red Sox released Hernandez on Sunday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hernandez's release opens up spots in the Red Sox's 60-man roster pool for minor-league players Hudson Potts and Jeisson Rosario, who were acquired from the Padres on Sunday in the deal that sent Mitch Moreland to San Diego. After being cast off the 40-man roster in January, Hernandez had yet to debut for the Red Sox in 2020.

Hernandez was added to the Red Sox's 60-man player pool.
EDGE Analysis
Hernandez, who is not on the 40-man roster, has been an organizational soldier since joining the Red Sox from the Cubs in 2015 as the player to be named later in the Felix Doubront deal. After a 2017 shoulder injury lingered and wiped out 2018, Hernandez returned for 2019 and saw action in 61 games for the Red Sox. The 27-year-old utility infielder profiles as an average defender and doesn't hit enough to make up for that. For this pandemic-shortened season, he'll be insurance against a spate of infield injuries at second base, shortstop or third base.

Hernandez cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Pawtucket on Thursday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hernandez was designated for assignment Friday, but he'll now likely serve as infield depth for Triple-A Pawtucket after going unclaimed on waivers. The 27-year-old hit .285/.308/.416 with two home runs over 35 games at the Triple-A level last season.

Hernandez was designated for assignment Friday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Red Sox needed to free up a 40-man roster spot after trading for Austin Brice from Miami. Hernandez will serve as infield depth at Triple-A if he remains in the organization.

Hernandez signed a contract with the Red Sox on Tuesday, Robert Murray of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hernandez finds himself back with the Red Sox shortly after being non-tendered by the team. The 27-year-old appeared in a career-high 61 games for Boston in 2019, finishing with a .250/.279/.338 slash line in 155 plate appearances. He should compete for a utility infield role in 2020.

Hernandez was non-tendered by the Red Sox on Monday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hernandez slashed .250/.279/.338 with two home runs and 11 RBI over 61 games with Boston a season ago. It remains to be seen if this is good enough to earn him a major-league offer.
