Hernández figures to elect free agency after passing through waivers unclaimed. The 31-year-old journeyman was cut loose by Atlanta earlier this week after failing to make their playoff roster. He posted a solid 2.25 ERA across 12 innings over five appearances during the regular season. He should be able to latch on somewhere as organizational relief depth this offseason.

Hernández had a 2.25 ERA over 12 innings in five appearances for the Braves this season. He figures to clear waivers and become a free agent.

The cycle continues. The 31-year-old righty has pitched well in four appearances with the Braves this season, going 2-0 with a 2.45 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and an 11/6 K/BB ratio across 11 innings of work. He’ll add a fresh arm to the team’s bullpen for the final four days of the regular season.

Color us shocked. The 31-year-old has been designated for assignment and re-signed a few times now, and the dance will likely continue through the end of the season.

As expected, the 31-year-old right-hander is back on the open market after refusing an outright assignment to Triple-a Gwinnett. Expect him to re-sign with the Braves on a new minor league contract in the coming days.

The 31-year-old hurler had been designated for assignment earlier in the week. The expectation is that once again he’ll elect free agency and re-sign with the Braves on a minor league contract. Stay tuned.

The Braves are entering Carlos Carrasco territory with Hernández, who has been designated for assignment multiple times this season and then re-signed to a minor league deal. We wouldn’t be surprised if the same thing happens this time as well.

Hernández has pitched to a 4.54 ERA in 81 1/3 innings for Triple-A Gwinnett this year. He has made 11 starts out of his 23 appearances and will provide depth for the Braves out of the bullpen.

Hernández returns to fortify Atlanta’s long relief depth for the home stretch after passing through waivers unclaimed earlier this week. The 31-year-old journeyman has allowed one run over six innings during a pair of relief appearances for the Braves this season.

Hernández has performed admirably, allowing one run over six innings across a pair of relief appearances for Atlanta over the past two weeks. The 31-year-old figures to remain with the organization to await his next opportunity, assuming that he clears waivers.

Hernández provides Atlanta with a much-needed multi-inning relief option after passing through waivers unclaimed earlier this week. The well-traveled 31-year-old former starter tossed three scoreless innings against the Orioles last Friday in his season debut.

There’s a chance Hernández decides to stick around as emergency organizational depth after tossing three scoreless innings against the Orioles last Friday. The well-traveled 31-year-old has the option to elect free agency after passing through waivers unclaimed, but his clearest path to another big-league opportunity is probably with Atlanta.

Hernández was jettisoned from Atlanta’s bullpen after tossing three scoreless innings in relief against the Orioles on Friday. The 31-year-old journeyman former starter should clear waivers and figures to remain with the organization as emergency depth.

The 31-year-old right-hander will add a fresh arm to the team’s bullpen for at least a few days. Hernández has made 20 appearances (11 starts) at Triple-A Gwinnett this season, registering a 4.83 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and a 72/27 K/BB ratio across 76 1/3 innings. Owen Murphy was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move on Sunday.

Hernández’s return last summer after a year in Korea didn’t result in any fanfare, but he’s currently sporting a little more velocity than ever before — he averaged 92.6 mph with his fastball and 92.9 mph with his sinker today — and he’s always had quality secondary stuff. He’s probably not going to break camp as the Braves’ fifth starter, since he’s on a minor league deal and the team has several out-of-options arms in the mix — but he might eventually prove useful to the Braves if the velocity sticks around.

Hernández represents an interesting low-risk gamble for Atlanta heading into next season. The 30-year-old righty, who holds a pedestrian 5.10 ERA across 303 1/3 innings over 99 appearances (49 starts) in the majors since 2018, finished last season in Toronto’s system after two seasons pitching overseas for the LG Twins in Korea.
