David Hernandez News
The Cleveland Indians have signed catcher Steve Baron, infielder Jake Elmore and relief pitcherDavid Hernandez to minor league deals on Friday. Baron will report to the clubs Lake County camp, while Elmore and Hernandez will report to Progressive Field in Cleveland. Hernandez should be used regularly early on as starters begin to build up their pitch counts. He had a rough year in Cincinnati in 2019, though, and all three players can be ignored in all fantasy formats ahead of the shortened 2020 season.
Cincinnati Reds reliever David Hernandez picked up the save in his team's 5-3 season-opening win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday. Hernandez pitched a third of an inning, issuing one walk in the process. He was able to end the game on a groundout off the bat of Corey Dickerson. While Hernandez earned the first save of the season, it came mostly because Cincy used Raisel Iglesias earlier in the game. Look for Iglesias, not Hernandez, to see the majority of the save chances for the team going forward, although there is a possibility that new manager David Bell deploys a committee in the ninth inning this season.
The Cincinnati Reds activated right-handed reliever David Hernandez (shoulder) from the 10-day disabled list on Friday. To make room on the 25-man roster, the Reds optioned Phil Gosselin to Triple-A Louisville. Hernandez opened the season on the DL with a shoulder issue and made three rehab appearances in Triple-A. The Reds could use Hernandez to shore up a bullpen that has not been very effective in 2018. Hernandez has posted two straight seasons with a sub-4.00 ERA and should be able to help out in the Reds 'pen as a setup man.
