Career[edit]

Houston Astros[edit]

Hernández signed with the Houston Astros as an international free agent on May 31, 2012.[2] He made his professional debut with the Dominican Summer League Astros. He spent the 2013 season with the DSL Astros as well, logging a 5–1 record and 1.26 ERA in 13 appearances. In 2014, he split the season between the GCL Astros and the rookie ball Greeneville Astros, accumulating a 5–1 record and 2.17 ERA in 12 games. He split the 2015 season between the Low-A Tri-City ValleyCats and the Single-A Quad Cities River Bandits, posting a 3–4 record and 3.12 ERA with 76 strikeouts in 66+1⁄3 innings of work. In 2016, Hernández split the year between the High-A Lancaster JetHawks and Quad Cities, recording a 6–8 record and 4.51 ERA with 107 strikeouts in 107+2⁄3 innings pitched. He split the 2017 season between the High-A Buies Creek Astros and the GCL Astros, pitching to a 5–5 record and 3.68 ERA in 18 appearances between the two teams.[2][3]

Miami Marlins[edit]

On December 14, 2017, Hernández was selected by the Miami Marlins in the 2017 Rule 5 draft.[4] He began the 2018 season on the disabled list with a tooth infection and was activated on May 10.[5] He had been rehabbing with the High-A Jupiter Hammerheads and the Double-A Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp. He again hit the disabled list on August 24 after suffering a blister on his middle finger, and rehabbed with the Triple-A New Orleans Baby Cakes. He finished his rookie season going 2–7 with a 5.21 ERA in 65+2⁄3 major league innings.[2] He split the 2019 season between Miami and New Orleans, recording a 3–5 record and 5.03 ERA in 21 games for the Marlins.

In 2020, Hernández pitched in 6 contests for the Marlins, registering a 3.16 ERA with 34 strikeouts in 25+2⁄3 innings pitched.[6] On May 22, 2021, Hernández was placed on the 60-day injured list with a biceps injury.[7] He was reinstated from the injured list on June 3.[8] He returned to the 60-day injured list on June 5 after suffering a “severe” right quad strain.[9] Hernández was again activated off of the IL on August 15 and pitched 51⁄3 innings of 1-run ball, earning a no-decision.[10]

On November 15, 2022, Hernández was designated for assignment.

New York Mets[edit]

On November 18, 2022, the Marlins traded Hernández and Jeff Brigham to the New York Mets for Franklin Sanchez and a player to be named later or cash considerations.[11] Jake Mangum went to Miami to complete the trade after he was not selected in the Rule 5 draft.[12] He was initially optioned to the Triple-A Syracuse Mets in 2023, but suffered a right shoulder strain and was placed on the injured list to begin the year.[13] On July 3, Hernández was activated from the injured list and optioned to Triple–A.[14] On July 24, he was recalled to the active roster.[15] However, he did not appear for the Mets before he was placed on the injured list with a right pectoral strain the next day.[16] On August 13, Hernández was transferred to the 60–day injured list.[17] Following the season on November 2, Hernández was removed from the 40–man roster and sent outright to Triple–A Syracuse.[18] He elected free agency on November 6.[19]

Los Angeles Dodgers[edit]

On January 12, 2024, Hernández signed a minor league contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers.[20]
