Dodgers outright Jonathan Hernández to Triple-A

LAD Relief Pitcher #72

Player Stats

Dodgers sent RHP Jonathan Hernández outright to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Hernández predictably went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment earlier this week. He’ll stick around as emergency organizational depth after posting an underwhelming 5.68 ERA across 21 1/3 innings for the Dodgers this season.

Dodgers designated RHP Jonathan Hernández for assignment.

Hernández’s latest stint with the Dodgers wound up lasting less than one week. The well-traveled 30-year-old has mostly operated in mop-up duty, registering a bleak 5.68 ERA across 25 1/3 innings of work this season.
Jonathan Hernandez

LAD Relief Pitcher #72

Dodgers re-signed RHP Jonathan Hernández to a one-year contract.

The 30-year-old righty briefly elected free agency after being designated for assignment earlier in the week but ultimately decided to re-up with the Dodgers with another chance to pitch out of the bullpen. He holds a miserable 6.45 ERA over 22 1/3 innings with the Dodgers this season.

Dodgers designated RHP Jonathan Hernández for assignment.

Hernández loses his roster spot after registering an underwhelming 6.45 ERA across 22 1/3 innings for the Dodgers this season. The 30-year-old figures to pass through waivers unclaimed and head to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Dodgers selected the contract of RHP Jonathan Hernández from Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Hernández returns to the Dodgers’ relief mix prior to Monday’s game against the Cubs. He was torched for an 8.15 ERA across 17 2/3 innings of work earlier this season.

LAD Relief Pitcher #72

Dodgers sent RHP Jonathan Hernandez outright to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Hernandez was designated for assignment on Tuesday and passed through waivers unclaimed. It’s unclear if he’ll elect free agency or remain with the Dodgers as excess bullpen depth at the Triple-A level. The 29-year-old posted a miserable 8.15 ERA, 1.75 WHIP and a 15/12 K/BB ratio over 17 2/3 innings in 12 appearances with the Dodgers.

Dodgers designated RHP Jonathan Hernández for assignment.

Hernández has been jettisoned from Los Angeles’ relief corps after registering an ugly 8.15 ERA, 1.75 WHIP and 15/12 K/BB ratio across 17 2/3 innings over 12 appearances. The 29-year-old figures to pass through waivers unclaimed and elect free agency.
Jonathan Hernandez

LAD Relief Pitcher #72

Dodgers signed RHP Jonathan Hernández to a one-year contract.

Hernández represents a zero-risk lottery ticket for the Dodgers after posting a 22/5 K/BB ratio across 15 innings at the Triple-A level this season. The 29-year-old heads to Los Angeles after opting out of his minor league contract with the Phillies earlier this week. He hasn’t pitched in the big leagues since 2024, but has posted a serviceable 4.29 ERA across 153 innings dating back to 2019.
Chase Shugart

PHI Relief Pitcher #55

Phillies optioned RHP Chase Shugart to Triple-A Lehigh Valley; Reassigned INFs Christian Cairo and Liover Peguero, OF Bryan De La Cruz and RHPs Jonathan Hernández and Lou Trivino to minor league camp.

The Phillies have one of the deepest and most talented bullpens in all of baseball, so it was always going to be tough for Shugart to crack the Opening Day roster. De La Cruz’s chances of earning a spot took a big hit when the Phillies announced that Justin Crawford had made the team. Both players will start out the year as extra depth at the Triple-A level.
Jonathan Hernandez

PHI Relief Pitcher #72

Phillies signed RHP Jonathan Hernández to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Hernández, 29, missed the majority of the 2025 season due to elbow and shoulder issues. He wound up logging just 12 innings for the Rays at Triple-A Durham where he posted a 2.25 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and a 13/6 K/BB ratio. As long as he’s healthy, Hernández adds solid bullpen depth for the Phillies and should get an opportunity at some point during the 2026 season.
Jonathan Hernandez

TB Relief Pitcher #72

Rays reassigned RHP Jonathan Hernández to minor league camp.

Hernández looked sharp in a handful of Grapefruit League appearances this spring as a non-roster invitee in Rays camp. The 28-year-old righty struggled last year in 29 relief appearances between the Rangers and Mariners, but should factor into Tampa Bay’s relief mix at some point during the year.

Alejandro Kirk is not in Toronto’s starting lineup for Friday’s game against the Mariners.

It’s a bit surprising to see Kirk rested in two of the last six games. Especially when he’s hitting .338/.415/.513 this month. Brandon Valenzuela will don the tools of ignorance against RHP Emerson Hancock.

Since August 13, Roden had only appeared in four of Minnesota’s 12 games. The 26-year-old hit .254/.333/.313 in 79 plate appearances this year. He’ll try to get back on track at Triple-A.

Twins designated RHP Woo-Suk Go for assignment.

Go gave up four runs over four appearances with the Twins in July and was DFA’ed to make room for Walker Jenkins. The 28-year-old right-hander had a 3.91 ERA between Toledo and St. Paul’s Triple-A squads this year — 12.54 is the ERA in Toledo that likely led to him being placed on waivers.

Twins selected the contract of CF Walker Jenkins from Triple-A St. Paul.

Jenkins was hitting .308/.407/.532 with 12 homers and 17 stolen bases over 307 plate appearances with the Saints and should be rostered in most leagues. The Twins didn’t call the 21-year-old top prospect up for him to sit and Luke Keaschall may be at the most risk of losing playing time if Byron Buxton avoids the injured list.

Blue Jays designated RHP Simeon Woods Richardson for assignment.

Woods Richardson allowed six earned runs against the Royals yesterday night in what was apparently the last straw. The 25-year-old has a 6.68 ERA between the Royals and Twins this year and snuck through waivers when he was DFA’ed in late June. He’ll likely find himself outrighted again.

MLB.com’s Anthony DiComo reports Juan Soto (calf) does not anticipate needing a rehab assignment and his return “could happen in a matter of days.”

It sounds like if it’s not at some point this weekend against the Astros, Soto is in play to be activated for the September fantasy stretch run. He’s been out with a calf strain since late July.

Mets transferred DH Jorge Polanco from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day injured list.

That will officially rule him out for the season. The 33-year-old finished the season with a wretched .148/.201/.230 line in 145 plate appearances while dealing with Achilles and ankle injuries. He’s under contract for next year in New York, where he will again not be Pete Alonso.
