Brewers' Yonny Hernandez: Reassigned to minors camp
Rotowire
The Brewers reassigned Hernandez to minor-league camp Thursday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Hernandez was a long shot to make the Brewers' Opening Day roster as a non-roster invitee, and he will officially miss the cut after going 4-for-18 with three RBI during spring training. Hernandez owns a .508 OPS across 221 career plate appearances in the majors, and he will likely serve as organizational depth for the Brewers at Triple-A Nashville.

The Dodgers designated Hernandez for assignment and outrighted him to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday.
With the addition of Kolten Wong to the active roster Friday, Hernandez will remain in OKC but lose his spot on the 40-man. The 25-year-old is slashing .252/.407/.363 across 339 plate appearances in Triple-A and will likely remain in the minors to conclude the season.

Dodgers' Yonny Hernandez: Optioned to OKC
Rotowire
The Dodgers optioned Hernandez to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
Hernandez has struggled mightily during his limited chances in the majors this season, going just 3-for-22 with four RBI. He's been much more effective in the minors, where he's slashing .260/407/.385 through 216 plate appearances. Hernandez's departure will clear a spot on the active roster for Amed Rosario, who was acquired in a trade with Cleveland on Wednesday.

Dodgers' Yonny Hernandez: Drives home three Wednesday
Rotowire
Hernandez went 1-for-3 with three RBI in a loss to the Rockies on Wednesday.
Hernandez notched his first runs batted in of the campaign with a two-run single in the fourth inning and added a sacrifice fly in the eighth. The 25-year-old is up with the Dodgers as a fill-in for utility man Chris Taylor, who is on the injured list with a knee injury. Wednesday was Hernandez's first appearance in a game since he was called up Sunday, and he may see infrequent opportunities while he's with the big club.

Dodgers' Yonny Hernandez: Back in Triple-A
Rotowire
Hernandez was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Just a day after being promoted to the big leagues by the Dodgers, Hernandez will return to Triple-A while Andre Jackson gets the callup to take the infielder's roster spot. Hernandez is slashing .308/.500/.385 through 18 Triple-A plate appearances and could return to Los Angeles if their infield depth is ever tested again during the season.

Dodgers' Yonny Hernandez: Summoned from Triple-A
Rotowire
The Dodgers recalled Hernandez from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
Hernandez will assume the 26-man active roster spot of Miguel Rojas, who was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain. With Gavin Lux (knee) out for the season, Chris Taylor (side) day-to-day and Mookie Betts (personal) still away from the team on paternity leave, Hernandez will bolster the Dodgers' infield depth in the short term. Hernandez recently resided on Oklahoma City's injured list due to an unspecified issue, but he's ostensibly healthy now after he returned from a two-week absence to play Tuesday versus Triple-A Albuquerque.

Dodgers' Yonny Hernandez: Sent to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Dodgers optioned Hernandez to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Hernandez logged a brief period of time in the majors with Arizona last season, but he spent most of the year at Triple-A Albuquerque and posted a .241/.349/.324 slash line across 298 plate appearances. Hernandez has had a very strong spring, going 8-for-30 at the plate with two RBI and three stolen bases, but he will need to show more at the highest level of the minors before he can contribute to the big-league club.
The Dodgers acquired Hernandez from the Athletics for cash considerations Thursday.
Hernandez was ineffective in 28 plate appearances this past season, managing two singles and a .154 OBP. He struggled in 2021 with the Rangers, too, so he figures to provide organizational depth for the Dodgers.
Hernandez was designated for assignment by the Athletics, the team announced Tuesday.
Hernandez was claimed off waivers by the A's last month. The 24-year-old sports just a .521 OPS over 55 major league games.

Hernandez (calf) was claimed off waivers by the A's on Thursday, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Hernandez finished the season on Arizona's injured list with a calf strain, and he was recently removed from the 40-man roster. The 24-year-old appeared in 12 big-league games in 2022 and went 2-for-24 with two runs and two stolen bases.

Diamondbacks' Yonny Hernandez: Shut down with calf strain
Rotowire
The Diamondbacks recalled Hernandez from Triple-A Reno and placed him on the 60-day injured list Monday with a strained left calf.
Hernandez last played for Reno since Aug. 17 before being placed on the affiliate's 7-day injured list less than a week later, presumably due to the calf strain. Though he now resides on the big club's IL, his placement on the 60-day IL rather than the 10-day IL will officially rule him out for the remainder of the 2022 campaign. Hernandez appeared in 12 games for Arizona earlier in the season but otherwise saw his most extensive action at Reno, where he produced a .244/.353/.328 slash line to go with 30 stolen bases over 295 plate appearances before being shut down with the injury.

Diamondbacks' Yonny Hernandez: Steals second bag
Rotowire
Hernandez started at third base and went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Wednesday's 11-2 win over the Nationals.
The stolen base was Hernandez's second, and the runs were his first, in eight games since being called up from Triple-A Reno. The utility infielder has started four of the last five games at third base, as he and Sergio Alcantara continue to share the position while Josh Rojas (oblique) is unavailable. The hot corner is among the many areas the Diamondbacks need help -- the team's third basemen bring up the rear with a .111 batting average -- but the club seems intent on waiting for Rojas, who recently begun swinging a bat in his rehab program.

Diamondbacks' Yonny Hernandez: Makes first start
Rotowire
Hernandez started at third base and went 0-for-4 in Wednesday's 3-2 extra-inning win over Houston.
Hernandez was recently called up from Triple-A Reno after the Diamondbacks optioned Drew Ellis, and Wednesday marked his first start. The moves are part of the team's ongoing carousel at third base. The organization is essentially biding its time until Josh Rojas (oblique) is healthy enough to man the hot corner, but until then, both Hernandez and Sergio Alcantara will get at-bats.
