The Texas Rangers welcome a relief pitcher back to the major leagues off of the injured list.
Per the MLB 's transaction wire, Texas has activated Jonathan Hernandez from the 15-day injured list. Catcher Sam Huff and pitcher Owen White were both optioned to the Round Rock Express.
Hernandez signed an international free agent deal with the Rangers back in 2013 at 17 years old. He made his major league debut in 2019. Tommy John surgery caused him to miss the entire season in 2021.While healthy, he has been a career 3.86 ERA pitcher out of the bullpen. He is coming off of a career-worst 5.40 ERA season in 2023 but has had a nice rehab stint in the minors so far, showing he is ready to return to the big leagues.
Huff has appeared in one game this season but has yet to make a plate appearance. For his career, he is slashing .262/.314/.462. He has spent a few years bouncing in between the minors and majors for the Rangers. The Texas bullpen will welcome Hernandez back with open arms as the group has struggled to start 2024. The club currently ranks 24th in bullpen ERA with 4.77. A couple of arms have performed well, but they need another guy in there to give consistent solid innings in relief. Hernandez has proven to be that in his career so far.
