• Yadiel Hernandez: Released by Washington

  04/18/2023 • By RotoWire

  Hernandez was released by the Nationals on Tuesday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports. Hernandez made 616 major-league plate appearances with the Nats between 2021-2022, but he's now 35 years old and had struggled to a .205/.225/.256 bating line through 40 plate appearances this season at Triple-A Rochester.

• Nationals' Yadiel Hernandez: Outrighted to Triple-A

  11/15/2022 • By RotoWire

  Hernandez was outrighted to Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports. As a 35-year-old left fielder who has been worth exactly -0.1 fWAR in each of the past three seasons, it's easy to see why Hernandez was cast off the 40-man roster. This greatly diminishes his deep-league value, as the Nationals have one of the shallowest depth charts in the league, so Hernandez's value was solely tied to getting playing time for Washington in the short term.

• Nationals' Yadiel Hernandez: Done for season

  08/27/2022 • By RotoWire

  Hernandez (calf) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Saturday, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports. The transaction officially ends Hernandez's season, as he only landed on the 10-day injured list nine days ago, so the schedule will end before his 60 days are up. The 34-year-old will end the year with a .269/.312/.410 slash line (good for a 100 wRC+) in 94 games.

  Hernandez was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a left calf strain, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports. Josh Palacios was recalled to replace Hernandez on the active roster. It's not entirely clear when this issue cropped up, though Hernandez had been out for three of four games prior to this move, so it may have been lingering. Hernandez will be eligible to return Aug. 30 should he prove ready.
