Darwinzon Hernández is aiming to return to MLB this winter after 3 1/2 seasons in Japan.

Hernández had a 5.06 ERA and a 133/73 K/BB in 85 1/3 innings as a major leaguer for the Red Sox from 2019-22 before signing with Softbank in 2023. He’s been an excellent setup man since, particularly in posting a 1.48 ERA and a 52/16 K/BB in 42 2/3 innings last season. The left-hander turns 30 next month.

Orioles sent LHP Darwinzon Hernandez outright to Triple-A Norfolk.

Hernandez was designated for assignment after the Cole Irvin trade, but he cleared waivers and will be invited to spring training as a non-roster player. The southpaw has had big issues with his control in the majors, including 17 runs allowed -- 16 earned -- in 6 2/3 innings with the Red Sox in 2022. He’ll be a project for the O’s in the spring.

Orioles acquired LHP Darwinzon Hernandez from the Red Sox for cash considerations.

Hernandez heads to Baltimore after being designated for assignment in Boston to clear out space for Justin Turner. The 26-year-old right-hander had some success early on during his time with the Red Sox, but he logged only 6 2/3 major league innings in 2022 and served up 17 runs -- 16 earned -- for a 21.60 ERA.

Red Sox designated LHP Darwinzon Hernandez for assignment.

Hernandez comes off the 40-man roster to make room for Justin Turner. Once considered one of the top prospects in the Boston system, the 26-year-old has struggled to find success at the highest level and gave up a whopping 16 runs in just-under seven innings (21.60 ERA) in 2022. Someone will likely take a shot on him as a reclamation project.
