Reaches free agency Hernandez cleared waivers and elected to become a free agent Wednesday.
Impact Hernandez had been removed from Atlanta's 40-man roster, and he's now a free agent after clearing waivers. The righty had been set for minor league free agency, anyway, so this simply gives him a head start. Hernandez gave Atlanta quality work out of the bullpen this season, posting a 2.25 ERA and 13:6 K:BB over 12 frames.
