Brayan Hernandez: Hits open market
The Marlins released Hernandez earlier this month, Chris Hilburn-Trenkle of Baseball America reports.
The Venezuelan-born Hernandez was one of the top amateur prospects on the international market in 2014, ultimately signing with the Mariners that summer and receiving a $1.85 million signing bonus. He was later a part of the group of prospects sent to Miami in 2017 in exchange for David Phelps, but the 22-year-old outfielder never reached his full potential with the new organization. He topped out at Low-A Clinton in 2019, posting a weak .342 OPS across 70 plate appearances.

Marlins' Brayan Hernandez: Debuts with short-season squad
Hernandez made his 2018 debut last week with short-season Batavia and has appeared in four games, going 4-for-17 with a walk and seven strikeouts.
Hernandez had spent the previous three months at the Marlins' extended spring training facility recovering from an undisclosed injury suffered in March. The 20-year-old saw most of his action in 2017 in short-season ball, so he likely won't stick around at the level for long before reporting to Low-A Greensboro. The outfielder is regarded as a toolsy prospect and was one of the more coveted international free agents in the summer of 2014, when he received a $1.85 million signing bonus from the Mariners as a 16-year-old.

Marlins' Brayan Hernandez: Out with minor injury
Hernandez suffered a minor undisclosed injury this spring, but is expected to be ready for game action in the near future, MLB.com's Mike Rosenbaum reports.
Hernandez is one of the few toolsy position players in the Marlins' system, but there are plenty of concerns about the approach and viability of his hit tool. He will likely be assigned to Low-A Greensboro once fully healthy.
