Tigers designated RHP Carlos Hernández for assignment.

The 28-year-old hurler has an intriguing arm but has continued to struggle to put it all together when given chances at the big league level. Hernández made 11 appearances during his time with the Tigers, posting a troublesome 10.13 ERA, 1.88 WHIP and a 13/6 K/BB ratio over 10 2/3 innings of work. Geoff Hartlieb was added to the team’s 40-man roster to take Hernández’s place in the Tigers’ bullpen.

Tigers claimed RHP Carlos Hernández off waivers from the Phillies.

The Tigers are plenty familiar with Hernández from all of the time he spent on the Royals. The 28-year-old Hernández was waived by the Phillies last week after posting a 5.26 ERA in 25 2/3 innings of relief work. He’s out of options, so he’ll likely take the spot of either Matt Gage or Tyler Owens in the Tigers pen.

Phillies designated RHP Carlos Hernández for assignment.

Hernández has always had plenty of talent in his arm, but he was unable to make the most of it as a starter in Kansas City and posted a 5.26 ERA in 25 2/3 innings out of the bullpen for the Phillies this season. Another team may take a gamble on his upper-90s fastball, or he could return to the Phillies’ minor league system.

Daniel Lynch IV has made the Royals’ season-opening roster as a reliever.

It’ll be Kris Bubic opening the year as Kansas City’s fifth starter. Royals manager Matt Quatraro added that Carlos Hernández, who is out of options, is not on the Opening Day roster. He’ll presumably be designated for assignment at some point in the coming days since he can’t be shipped to Triple-A Omaha without clearing waivers.
