INJURIES

Inks minors deal with Phillies The Phillies signed Hernandez to a minor-league contract Dec. 15, Steve Potter of PhilliesBaseballFan.com reports.
Impact Hernandez made 12 appearances at Triple-A Durham in the Rays organization in 2025, posting a 2.25 ERA and 13:6 K:BB over 12 innings. He missed most of the season with a shoulder injury, but the 29-year-old returned to pitch in September and has made 18 appearances in the Dominican Winter League. Hernandez holds a career 4.29 ERA and 150:81 K:BB across 153 frames covering parts of five major-league seasons.

Dismissed from big-league camp The Rays reassigned Hernandez to minor-league camp Monday.
Impact 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.
MARCH 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Lands in Tampa Bay as NRI 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.
Impact 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.
JANUARY 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Hernandez cleared waivers after being designated for assignment by the Mariners on Thursday and he will now report to Triple-A Tacoma.

AUGUST 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Dropped from 40-man roster Hernandez was designated for assignment by the Mariners on Thursday.
Impact 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.

Impact 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.
AUGUST 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Designated for assignment The Rangers designated Hernandez for assignment Tuesday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact 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.

Out with shoulder injury Hernandez has been left off the Rangers' Wild Card Series roster due to a shoulder injury, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact Hernandez had an up-and-down 2023 season but finished with five straight scoreless appearances, so this is a hit to a bullpen that can ill afford it. Whether Hernandez could potentially be ready should the Rangers advance to the ALDS is unclear.
OCTOBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Rejoins big club Hernandez was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.
Impact The right-hander was optioned to Round Rock in late August but will rejoin the Rangers on Wednesday with Max Scherzer (shoulder) headed for the injured list. Hernandez has struggled to a 6.45 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 25:14 K:BB across 22.1 big-league innings this season.
SEPTEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Optioned back to minors Hernandez was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.
Impact Hernandez melted down with three straight walks to force in the winning run in the 13th inning of Sunday's loss to the Twins. Glenn Otto will take his spot in the bullpen.

Recalled by Rangers Hernandez was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.
Impact Hernandez has been ineffective in 21.2 major-league innings this season, struggling to a 6.65 ERA, a mark which more than doubles the 3.23 career ERA he owned prior to that point. His 1.35 ERA at the Triple-A level is far more encouraging, but it comes with a 16.5 percent walk rate. Grant Anderson was optioned in a corresponding move.
AUGUST 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Optioned to Triple-A Hernandez was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.
Impact Hernandez entered the season as a candidate for saves, but he's struggled to a 6.65 ERA over 25 appearances. He'll look to get back on track in the minors.
JUNE 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Throws scoreless inning Hernandez allowed two hits and struck out two over a scoreless inning in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Pirates.
Impact Hernandez pitched the ninth inning after another bullpen melt down. That it wasn't Hernandez doing the melting gave the club a sliver of hope he's getting over a recent stretch of poor results. Expected to be an eighth-inning bridge, Hernandez had allowed eight runs (three home runs) over his last 1.2 innings. This was the second consecutive outing in which he did not pitch in a high-leverage situation.
MAY 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Walked off Wednesday Hernandez (0-1) allowed two runs on two hits and did not retire a batter, picking up his first loss in Wednesday's game against the Reds.
Impact Texas was swept by Cincinnati in a series that featured shaky bullpen performances. The relief crew had been strong for the Rangers, but on three consecutive days, several members of the 'pen allowed the Reds to take leads in the eighth inning or later, including two walk-off wins. Hernandez entered the day with a 1.80 ERA over his first 10 outings before Nick Senzel's game-ending, two-run home run.
APRIL 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Provides relief in win Hernandez allowed one walk and struck out two over two-thirds of an inning in Sunday's 9-1 win over the Astros.
Impact While the final score indicates a blowout, Hernandez and Will Smith provided expert high-leverage relief work in the seventh inning, as Houston loaded the bases with none out and Texas leading, 6-0. Hernandez struck out Martin Maldonado and Mauricio Dubon before walking in a run. It wasn't officially a hold, but it felt like one. Hernandez has allowed two runs, three hits and three walks while striking out eight over six innings. The right-hander will continue to pitch in late-game scenarios and could get an occasional save chance.

Could be in closer mix Rangers GM Chris Young said Saturday that Hernandez "could be a closer" for the club in 2023, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.
Impact Jose Leclerc, who finished 2022 as Texas' closer, is likely the current frontrunner for the job and was the first of many names mentioned by Young, but Hernandez was the next man brought up by the new GM. Hernandez returned from a lengthy absence last season after he underwent Tommy John surgery in 2021 and had a 2.97 ERA with four saves across 30.1 innings, but he struggled with his command at times and had a 13.0 percent walk rate. The right-hander may not open 2023 as the Rangers' primary closer, but Hernandez should have a high-leverage role and is likely to receive some save chances at some point.

Settles at $1.275 million Hernandez signed a one-year, $1.275 million contract with the Rangers on Friday to avoid arbitration, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact Recovery from a Tommy John procedure in April 2021 kept Hernandez from playing last season until mid-July, but he was effective after he returned. In 30.1 innings, he recorded a 2.97 ERA and 1.42 WHIP -- good enough to keep him in a setup role to start 2023.

Angels rally to beat Rangers 3-2 after Suarez perfect thru 6

José Suarez lost a perfect game and the lead in the seventh inning before the surging Los Angeles Angels rallied for a 3-2 victory over the Texas Rangers
OCTOBER 2, 2022 • Associated Press
Picks up extra-inning win Hernandez (1-0) earned the extra-inning win Saturday over the Twins. He allowed an unearned run on a hit and a walk while striking out one over two innings.
Impact Hernandez was kept in the game for the 10th inning after pitching a scoreless ninth. The right-hander walked Carlos Correa, got two outs, allowed a run to score on an error and then got Jose Miranda to fly out to end the threat. This was Hernandez's first win in 12 appearances this year, and he's maintained a 2.08 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 11:5 K:BB through 12 innings. He's functioned as the head of the Rangers' closer committee with Joe Barlow (finger) out -- Hernandez has four saves, all since July 31, and Jose Leclerc is the only other reliever on the team to log a save in that span.
