Hernandez has gone 0-0 with a 6.00 ERA in two games for the Guardians this year.
It will be interesting to see if another team claims him before the end of the 2026 season.
There is also the chance that he ends up back with the Guardians (in Triple-A).
The 29-year-old had just been added back to the MLB team earlier this month.
Stebbins wrote (on September 1): “The Guardians recalled Daniel Schneemann from Columbus and selected reliever Carlos Hernández, as part of today’s active roster expansion. 40-man full.”
40-man full.

Hernandez is in the middle of his 7th season at the MLB level.
He has also had stints with the Kansas City Royals, Philadelphia Phillies, Detroit Tigers (and Guardians).
Over 193 career games, Hernandez has gone 8-19 with a 5.14 ERA.
