Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Jonathan Hernández, 29-year-old right-handed pitcher, was released by the Philadelphia Phillies on May 18, 2026 after posting a 4.80 ERA in 13 Triple-A games (15 innings, 22 K, 5 BB). He was immediately signed by the Los Angeles Dodgers for bullpen depth ahead of their series against the San Diego Padres. Hernández has pitched parts of five MLB seasons (2019-24) with the Texas Rangers and Seattle Mariners, compiling a 4.29 ERA with 150 strikeouts in 153 innings across 127 games. He missed nearly five months on the minor league injured list in 2025 with the Tampa Bay Rays but posted a solid 2.25 ERA in 12 Triple-A games before opting out of his Phillies deal.
