Wed Jan 1020:12Dodgers Sign Elieser Hernandez To Minor-League Deal
The Los Angeles Dodgers signed free-agent right-hander Elieser Hernandez to a minor-league deal on Wednesday that includes an invitation to spring training, according to sources. Hernandez last pitched in the big leagues with the Miami Marlins in 2022, when he went 3-6 with a career-high 6.35 ERA (6.40 FIP) and 1.43 WHIP with 22 walks and 60 strikeouts in 62 1/3 innings over 20 appearances (10 starts). The 28-year-old Venezuelan spent the 2023 campaign at three minor-league levels with the New York Mets, posting a much better 2.89 ERA and 1.39 WHIP with 12 strikeouts in just 9 1/3 innings over eight outings (four starts). Hernandez's season was cut short by a pectoral injury. He'll give the Dodgers some starting and relief depth in the minors to open the 2024 season.

Sun Jun 25 202313:52Elieser Hernandez Restarting Rehab Assignment On Sunday
New York Mets starting pitcher Elieser Hernandez (shoulder) is restarting his rehab assignment for Class-A Brooklyn after having a setback in his previous attempt with Single-A St. Lucie. Hernandez has been out all year while dealing with a right shoulder strain and was shut down from his last rehab assignment back on June 14. He has no timetable for his return at the moment but it's encouraging that he's starting another assignment at the moment. Hernandez struggled with a 6.35 ERA and 1.43 WHIP over 62 1/3 innings with the Marlins last season but the Mets are in desperate need of starting pitcher help.

Sat Jan 14 202322:55Elieser Hernandez Avoids Arbitration
The New York Mets and pitcherElieser Hernandezagreed to a one-year, $1.6 million deal to avoid salary arbitration. Hernandez will begin a new chapter with the Mets in 2023 after spending five seasons in Miami. The 27-year-old split his 2022 season as a starter and middle-inning reliever. He posted a 6.35 ERA across 62 1/3 innings and 60 punchouts. Hernandez was not the most effective pitcher in 2022, although we have seen success in previous years. With a change of scenery in Citi Field, Hernandez may have an opportunity to turn the tables. However, he is mainly on the fantasy radar in deep-league league formats.

Fri Nov 18 202220:07Elieser Hernandez And Jeff Brigham Shipped To Mets
The New York Mets have struck a deal with the Miami Marlins for two right-handed pitchers, Elieser Hernandez and Jeff Brigham, just days after each was designated for assignment. The Marlins receive minor league pitcher Franklin Sanchez in return. Hernandez is the more prominent name of the two, as he made 90 appearances including 48 starts over five seasons in Miami, recording a 5.04 ERA and 1.32 WHIP with 277 strikeouts in 287 1/3 innings. Both will serve as depth for the Mets, who have seen most of their pitching staff enter free agency.

Thu Jul 21 202211:40Elieser Hernandez Placed On Injured List
The Miami Marlins placed right-hander Elieser Hernandez on the injured list on Thursday, and no reason has been listed, so it's assumed he's going on the COVID-19 injured list. In a corresponding move, right-hander Tommy Nance has been recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville. Hernandez has made 14 appearances (nine starts) for the Fish in 2022 and hasn't fared all that well, going 2-5 with a 6.11 ERA and 1.39 WHIP while striking out 52 and walking 18 in 53 innings pitched. He shouldn't be rostered in fantasy leagues. Nance, 31, has a 6.14 ERA, 1.68 WHIP, 30 strikeouts and 12 walks in 22 relief innings for the Marlins this year in just his second season in the majors.

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Elieser Hernandez got the start in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the New York Mets and pitched well, allowing just one hit while striking out three in two innings. Hernandez has missed some time with injury over the past few seasons, but he's been more than solid when on the mound. He's a risky fantasy asset because of the injury possibility, but he's got enough upside to make it easy to see the risk paying off.

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Elieser Hernandez pitched well on Wednesday, providing five innings while allowing two runs on six hits. He did not issue a walk and struck out six. Hernandez ended up missing most of the season due to two long trips to the injured list, but he's been good when healthy and should be a part of the Marlins rotation plans for next season. He recently added a two-seam fastball to his arsenal, and has been getting more swings and misses as a result.

Tue Aug 31 202117:27Elieser Hernandez Throws Five Solid Innings On Tuesday
Miami Marlins starting pitcher Elieser Hernandez pitched well on Tuesday in the completion of a suspended game from April. Hernandez got the "start" and pitched the first five innings, allowing just one run on five hits and a walk with four strikeouts. He threw 83 pitches, 56 for strikes. Hernandez is still ramping up after spending most of the season on the injured list, so while he hasn't been able to go deep into games yet, he's pitched fairly well in the innings he's been able to pitch. He'll take a 3.68 ERA into his next start and should be in starting lineups in deeper formats.

He's shown signs of his upside in each of his starts, and as long as he stays healthy, he should be a consistent contributor in the Marlins rotation.

Now that Hernandez is back in the Marlins rotation, he makes an intriguing waiver-wire option for fantasy managers, especially those in deeper formats.

Fri Aug 13 202116:37Pablo Lopez, Elieser Hernandez Throw Bullpens
Miami Marlins pitchers Pablo Lopez (shoulder) and Elieser Hernandez (quadriceps) each threw a bullpen session on Friday, according to Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald. Lopez, out since July 17, has been arguably the best pitcher in Miami's rotation this season, pitching to a 3.03 ERA with 111 K and 25 BB over 101 IP. Fantasy managers are patiently waiting for Lopez to return and give them production in all categories. Hernandez has only thrown 7.1 innings with the big league club this year but pitched well in 25.2 IP in 2020, posting a 3.16 ERA with 34 K and four walks. If he can get back in the Marlins rotation when he returns, he's an intriguing waiver-wire option.

Mon Aug 9 202121:18Elieser Hernandez Set For Rehab Start Tuesday
Miami Marlins pitcher Elieser Hernandez (quadriceps) will make his next rehab start with Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday. He struck out five batters across four scoreless innings in his previous rehab outing.

Hernandez pitched well in a small sample size, owning a 3.68 ERA, 0.68 WHIP, and a 11.0 K/9 across 7 1/3 innings in 2021. The Marlins right-hander has strikeout upside and is worth stashing in deep-league formats.

Fri Jul 30 202116:48Elieser Hernandez Beginning a Rehab Assignment
Miami Marlins starting pitcher Elieser Hernandez (quadriceps) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment on Saturday with Double-A Pensacola. Hernandez has been limited to just 7 1/3 innings this season, as he's been hurt in both games he's started. Hernandez has some upside if he can stay healthy though, he pitched 25 2/3 innings last season and posted a 3.16 ERA backed up by a 3.18 xERA. He struck out 34 and walked just five in 2020. He should be on a lot of fantasy league waiver wires and is definitely worth a shot as long as his rehab goes well.
