Hernández Re-Signs With Dodgers After Clearing Waivers
The right-handed reliever returns to LA's bullpen for a third stint this season after no other club claimed him off waivers.
Jonathan Hernández was designated for assignment by the Dodgers on Monday, cleared outright waivers, elected free agency, and then signed a new big-league contract with Los Angeles. The procedural DFA-and-re-sign route was used to bypass the 15-day minor league service requirement that applies to optioned players. Hernández has posted a 6.45 ERA over 22 1/3 innings this season but was scoreless over his last 4 2/3 frames. He is out of options and must clear waivers each time he is removed from an MLB roster.
