Hernandez was designated for assignment by the Diamondbacks on Friday.

Hernandez is slashing just .197/.263/.352 in 142 at-bats with Double-A Jackson this season, so the Diamondbacks decided to remove him from the 40-man roster in order to open up a spot for Rubby De La Rosa to join the big-league bullpen. The Diamondbacks are already carrying a trio of catchers at the major-league level, so Hernandez was deemed expendable. He'll likely report back to Double-A if he passes through waivers untouched.
