Anderson Hernandez - SS - Pirates

Pirates signed INF Anderson Hernandez to a minor league contract.

He will also get a spring training invite. Hernandez, 29, spent last season in the Astros' minor league system and has an ugly .241/.300/.314 batting line over 703 plate appearances in the majors. Look for him to serve as organizational depth.

Wed, Dec 21, 2011 02:13:00 PM

Anderson Hernandez - SS - Pirates

Astros re-signed INF Anderson Hernandez to a minor league contract.

Hernandez has played for four different teams the last two seasons and is batting just .241/.300/.314 over 643 career at-bats. He'll try to win a utility job in spring training.

Fri, Nov 12, 2010 08:09:00 PM

Anderson Hernandez - SS - Pirates

Astros sent INF Anderson Hernandez outright to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

The 27-year-old middle infielder hit .220/.286/.266 over 109 at-bats this season between the Indians and Astros. He can elect free agency.

Thu, Oct 14, 2010 05:09:00 PM

Anderson Hernandez - SS - Pirates

Astros purchased the contract of INF Anderson Hernandez from Triple-A Round Rock.

The 'Stros designated Hernandez for assignment just under two weeks ago, but they need him now that Jeff Keppinger has been lost to a fractured toe. Hernandez was 2-for-13 earlier this season in the big leagues.

Thu, Aug 19, 2010 10:59:00 PM

Anderson Hernandez - SS - Pirates

Astros designate INF Anderson Hernandez for assignment.

Hernandez was cleared to make room for Geoff Blum's return from the disabled list. The 27-year-old infielder was 2-for-13 (.154) during his brief time with the Astros. He was just claimed off waivers from the Indians on July 21.

Tue, Aug 3, 2010 06:00:00 PM

Anderson Hernandez - SS - Pirates

Astros claimed INF Anderson Hernandez off waivers from the Indians.

He is expected to join the team on Friday. Hernandez batted .246/.270/.295 with two RBI in 61 at-bats before being designated for assignment by the Indians last week. He holds no fantasy value to speak of.

Wed, Jul 21, 2010 01:17:00 PM

Anderson Hernandez - SS - Pirates

Indians designated INF Anderson Hernandez for assignment.

It's the second time the Tribe has made this move with Hernandez. He'll likely clear waivers again and be sent to Triple-A.

Sun, Jul 18, 2010 11:29:00 AM

Anderson Hernandez - SS - Pirates

Indians purchased the contract of INF Anderson Hernandez from Triple-A Columbus.

Hernandez will take the place of Mark Grudzielanek on the roster. The 27-year-old infielder was claimed off waivers from the Mets in March and outrighted to Triple-A Colbumbus after spring training. He has a .245/.303/.324 batting line in the major leagues and doesn't carry any fantasy value.

Tue, Jun 8, 2010 03:54:00 PM

Anderson Hernandez - SS - Pirates

Indians sent INF Anderson Hernandez outright to Triple-A Columbus.

Hernandez was designated for assignment Saturday when the Indians were setting their Opening Day roster, but cleared waivers and is back with the organization. He hit just .251/.312/.339 last season.

Thu, Apr 8, 2010 09:34:00 PM

Anderson Hernandez - SS - Pirates

Indians designated INF Anderson Hernandez for assignment.

The 27-year-old journeyman infielder was claimed off waivers just a few weeks ago from the Mets, but obviously failed to impress Cleveland management. He batted just .251/.312/.339 with three homers and 37 RBI between Washington and New York last season.

Sat, Apr 3, 2010 08:33:00 PM

Anderson Hernandez - SS - Pirates

Indians claimed INF Anderson Hernandez off waivers from the Mets.

Hernandez, who played part of the past two seasons in Washington, will be reunited with his former manager Manny Acta in Cleveland. The 27-year-old batted .251/.312/.339 with three homers and 37 RBI between Washington and New York last season. Hernandez ran a ton in the minors, yet has just seven stolen bases in 186 career games in the majors. He's nothing besides a useful glove at second base.

Wed, Mar 17, 2010 02:45:00 PM

Anderson Hernandez - SS - Pirates

Mets acquired second baseman Anderson Hernandez from the Nationals for second baseman Greg Veloz.

With Alberto Gonzalez in tow, Hernandez had no future in Washington and was quickly losing playing time. He'll find at-bats in New York while Luis Castillo nurses a sprained ankle, but was hitting just .251/.310/.320 for the Nats and still isn't a great bet for fantasy purposes.

Thu, Aug 6, 2009 12:19:00 PM

Anderson Hernandez - SS - Pirates

According to Ed Price of AOL Fanhouse, the Nationals will receive minor league infielder Greg Veloz in return for Anderson Hernandez.

Veloz isn't really much of a prospect, despite his age. The 21-year-old is batting just .232/.297/.303 on the Single-A level this season with 81 strikeouts, two home runs and 19 RBI in 357 at-bats.

The infielder is eligible to return from the DL on May 30, but it's not clear if he'll be ready at that time. May 19
	3	Chase d'Arnaud D.L. Chase d'Arnaud (thumb) began a rehab assignment with High-A Bradenton on Thursday. d'Arnaud has been sidelined since undergoing left thumb surgery late in spring training. He figures to need a few weeks' worth of rehab at-bats but could be optioned to Triple-A after that. May 17

	3	James McDonald D.L. James McDonald (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Altoona on May 27. That's assuming he gets through bullpen sessions on Tuesday and Friday with no issues. McDonald is slated to go four innings and/or throw 65 pitches for Altoona, so he'll need at least one additional rehab start before being activated. He's not a given to rejoin the rotation once healthy. May 19
	4	Francisco Liriano
	5	Charlie Morton D.L. Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said Thursday that Charlie Morton (elbow, shoulder) will make three more minor league rehab starts. Morton's rehab from Tommy John surgery was recently halted due to some shoulder soreness, but he returned to game action Thursday with Double-A Altoona and gave up two runs in four innings. If all goes well, he could join the Pirates' rotation in the early part of June. May 16
	6	Jeff Karstens D.L. Jeff Karstens (shoulder) will make his next rehab start Saturday with Double-A Altoona. Karstens, currently working his way back from shoulder inflammation, gave up one run in three innings Monday in his first rehab outing with High-A Bradenton. He could join the Pirates by early June, though it isn't clear what his role will be. May 16
