Dodgers DFA 6-Year MLB Veteran Pitcher
The Los Angeles Dodgers have made a roster move, as they have designated pitcher Jonathan Hernandez for assignment.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have made a roster move, designating pitcher Jonathan Hernandez for assignment. The decision comes after Hernandez's underwhelming performance for the team this season. Hernandez, a 6-year MLB veteran, appeared in just 16 games for the Dodgers, posting a 0-0 record, a 5.68 ERA, and 22 strikeouts. Despite playing 20 appearances at Triple-A, he struggled with a 1-0 record, two saves, 28 strikeouts, and a 5.24 ERA.
Hernandez's career in the majors spans six seasons, during which he played for the Texas Rangers, Seattle Mariners, and Dodgers. He posted a 13-8 record, a 4.49 ERA, and 172 strikeouts across 143 games. With the Dodgers moving on from Hernandez, teams seeking additional pitching depth may want to consider him with a waiver claim. The 6-foot-3 right-handed pitcher, known for his past success in the majors, could potentially bolster a team's bullpen if he could improve upon his career statistics.
